Full-service proposal development: multiple proposals
BW&CO's multiple-proposals service is an ongoing relationship for choosing, sequencing, developing, and learning across funding opportunities tied to your company's technical, commercial, and production milestones. Instead of reacting to deadlines, you work from a funding plan that gets stronger with each pursuit.
Why plan a portfolio instead of chasing one deadline?
A portfolio of well-qualified pursuits can diversify opportunity risk. BW&CO helps clients choose, sequence, and execute that portfolio. Agencies make award decisions.
Selection matters more than volume. Beginning in fiscal year 2027, agencies set their own limits on how many SBIR and STTR proposals one company may submit, so choosing the strongest fits comes first.
With strong technology and a disciplined portfolio of well-fit pursuits, funding becomes a repeatable strategy, not a one-shot bet.
What is included?
- Opportunity pipeline development, refreshed as new solicitations publish
- Sequencing tied to your technical, commercial, and production milestones
- Positioning gap analysis and stakeholder validation for each pursuit
- A strategy guide, drafting, editing, and iterations for each proposal
- Full review, eligibility, registrations, compliance, and submission readiness
- Lessons captured after each decision and an evidence backlog for the next proposal
How is this different from a proposal bundle?
It is not a quota or a bundle. We recommend pursuing an opportunity only when it fits, and we will recommend reshaping, deferring, or stopping a pursuit when the fit or evidence is not there.
What does it cost?
Starting at $6,000 per month plus a 5% success fee, payable only if an award is made.
How BW&CO positions each pursuit
We study both the published solicitation and what the funder is trying to achieve, using public information and permitted outreach. How we position proposals
Lessons from our team's 3,000+ funded proposals, applied to yours
BW&CO, as of 2026: $350M+ secured for clients. 350+ companies served.
Our team's combined experience, including work completed before and outside BW&CO (not BW&CO award totals): 3,000+ funded proposals and $3B+ awarded. Your proposal benefits from those lessons. Results vary by program, client, and proposal. Past results do not guarantee future awards, and agencies make every award decision.

Frequently asked questions
How many proposals should a company submit in a year?
There is no right number. It depends on fit, team capacity, evidence, and agency limits. Beginning in fiscal year 2027, agencies set their own caps on SBIR and STTR proposals per company, so the goal is the strongest set of pursuits, not the largest.
How does the plan connect to company milestones?
We map each pursuit to a technical, commercial, or production milestone, such as a prototype, a clinical step, a pilot customer, or manufacturing scale-up, so funding moves the company forward rather than adding side projects.
What happens between deadlines?
We monitor new opportunities, close evidence gaps, run permitted stakeholder discovery, and prepare the next pursuit, so each proposal starts from a stronger position.
Who is the multiple-proposals service best for?
Companies that expect several funding pursuits over the next year or two, often across more than one agency, and want one accountable partner for strategy and execution.
