Hiring a govcon consultant vs YNTELRADAR
YNTELRADAR is the most complete government contracting platform on the market — the only one that takes you from found to won.
A human capture or proposal consultant finds and shortlists opportunities for you, usually on a retainer or hourly basis.
What Hiring a govcon consultant actually is
A person on retainer or by the hour who searches for opportunities and helps you bid. Their coverage is whatever they have time to look at that week, and their hours run out — which is why the searching, the least skilled part of the job, is usually what eats the retainer.
Why YNTELRADAR is the better choice
YNTELRADAR does the whole cycle and never runs out of hours: every notice across federal nationwide and the state and local sources on your plan — cities, counties and school districts — scored 0–100 against your business with the reasons, the solicitation documents read and the requirements pulled out, the bid priced against what the government actually paid with the winners named, the recompetes coming up flagged with who holds them today, teaming partners matched, your proposal drafted, and a step-by-step plan with the deadlines on an exportable calendar that tracks it to Won. A daily digest and instant alerts keep it moving, in English or Spanish. From $39/mo a month, not an hourly retainer.
