"You know your business. We know proposals."
~ FPEX Owner, Shannon Lindauer
Our story
FPEX was founded by Federal proposal practitioners who spent decades inside large primes and agencies, watching small businesses struggle to compete — not because their solutions weren’t strong, but because their proposals didn’t stand out or were eliminated for compliance issues.
Our founder, Shannon Lindauer, started the Federal Proposal Experts to help small businesses bid with the success of large businesses . Shannon has 22 years of success with winning billions in federal contracts for all sizes of companies. She standardized her unique process for preparing consistently winnable proposals and today we work with 63 small and mid-sized firms across DoD, federal civilian and the intelligence community. We deliver senior consultants and package hard-won expertise into templates and training that scale with your core competencies.
The Federal Proposal Experts is an SBA certified Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB).
Focus on Winning
Every engagement is measured by one outcome: did we help you win the contract?
Senior Bid Experts Only
No junior writers. The consultant on your bid is the same one in the kickoff meeting.
Compliance first
Making past the compliance check is the most important step if you're going to win the bid. We will ensure you do and get your bid into the "winnable" pile with the evaluators.
