Testimonials

After a hard fought win at DHS, we needed to staff a highly qualified SME with program insight for a task order. After four weeks, we couldn’t find the right consultant using the standard recruiting and job sites. We turned to GovProp and with one search we were matched with the perfect consultant whose skills and in-depth domain knowledge gave us what we needed to write a winning proposal. Turns out there were only five of these SMEs in the entire U.S. and four of them were working for other competitors. GovProp delivered.

GOVPROP is extremely intuitive, intelligent, and efficient providing top-notch proposal resources nation-wide. The site allows users the ability to filter on the types of resources required providing a listing of available resources to meet any budgetary and time constraints. When proposals drop, companies do not have the luxury of spending days and weeks sourcing through countless resumes of proposal support consultants and meeting with proposal support companies to find the right resources to support their critical proposal responses. With GOVPROP, organizations are able to quickly find vetted and verified proposal support in seconds with a click of a mouse. I highly recommend it!

Fequently Asked Questions

How can I ensure that a consultant that I have hired isn't working for a competitor on the same proposal?
GovProp automates the NDA and OCI management process. Consultants who are hired for a proposal are automatically excluded by our software when a second company is searching for support on the same solicitation. The names of the Government contractors are also hidden from the the consultant until after the OCI and NDA agreements are signed to prevent leaking of which company is bidding which RFP. Our platform does not allow consultants to search posted jobs without being invited to submit a quote.
Does GovProp.com screen its consultants?

Yes, we have a range of top talent, from capture managers to proposal writers, price to win, graphic artist, agency requirements experts, and more. We use multiple means to verify that consultants have insight into government agencies, their decision makers, program offices; and are in a position to help hiring contractor win and execute on government proposals. Information is also displayed that provides you a sense of each consultant’s skill and experience level.

Our approach includes:

  • Generate a success ranking through existing client references.
  • Capturing feedback and ratings on past GovProp.com projects.
  • Displaying independent industry certifications including APMP, PMI, and Shipley.
  • Automatically culling from the system consultants who do not maintain a quality standard of three or more stars on a five-star rating system.
  • Limiting consultants to no more than five categories.
  • Documenting security clearances.

Consultants who are experienced but are new to GovProp.com may pay an optional, one-time fee of $225 for an initial reference check to set your success ranking score. Five-star consultants earn a Pro ranking, which is used by GovProp.com when you request that we handpick pre-vetted talent to meet a specific or unique requirement.

What do I look for in a consultant?

You can evaluate consultants by reviewing their GovProp.com profile. Each consultant’s profile includes agency experience, contract experience, resumes, client feedback, skills, certifications, security clearances, and much more. You may also want to request hand-picked Pro Rated talent. Then, have a quick interview with your shortlisted candidates to answer questions related to your project.

The most successful consultants are:

  • Responsive to client needs.
  • Excellent at communicating with their clients.
  • Upfront about their abilities and deadlines.
  • Able to deliver excellent work on time, every time.

Pay your consultant by the hour, or a fixed price for the entire project. Choose a payment method that best suits your needs. All payments are made securely through the GovProp.com licensed escrow service. Receive funds via whatever payment methods best suits your needs, including STRIPE, Direct Deposit / ACH, Wire Transfer, or Local Funds Transfer (LFT). You only pay for work that you authorize and accept. You can access and download or print invoices and transaction history directly on GovProp.com. Payments are subject to a 6% processing fee.

Finally, government contractors no longer pay a king’s ransom for their favorite consultants.

Do I have to file tax forms for my consultant?

You should not be responsible for filing 1099-MISC forms for their consultants through GovProp.com.

One of the benefits of hiring consultants through GovProp.com is that, in general, if a consultant is correctly classified as an independent contractor, the you should not be responsible for reporting payments on Form 1099-MISC. The reason is that our escrow service is a “third-party payment network.” When you make payments through our third-party payment network, Form 1099 reporting becomes a GovProp.com responsibility, and is no longer the contracting company’s responsibility. Specifically, we are obligated to report payments to independent contractors on Form 1099-K when applicable, which means contractors should not be obligated to report on Form 1099-MISC. Therefore, GovProp.com no longer sends Form 1099-MISC on behalf of contractors, and all consultants classified as U.S. Persons must submit Form W-9 information to us on the GovProp.com platform, so that our escrow service can accurately report on Form 1099-K.

The foregoing assumes you have correctly classified your consultant as an independent contractor to you, instead of an employee. As a reminder, you are responsible to determine proper classification of all of your consultants as either independent contractors or employees. For U.S.-based consultants, you should refer to the IRS guidelines and other federal, state, and local regulations applicable to you. If your consultant should be classified as an employee, then you should use the GovProp.comPayroll service. When you use this service, our staffing provider will employ the worker, handle all of the withholding and payment of taxes, and provide the worker with a Form W-2.

Naturally, we’re not experts on tax matters for your specific business, so you should consult a tax professional if you have questions or concerns about this or any other tax-related issues. If you’re not based in the U.S. or have additional questions, please consult your local tax representative for more information on filing tax forms in your country.
