For Professional Services
Federal professional-services contracts, scored, read, priced and drafted for your capability statement
YNTELRADAR reads every federal, state and local professional-services solicitation — consulting, staffing, training, program support, engineering — and scores it against your capability statement, so you only see work you can credibly win. Professional services is the category where past performance decides the award, which means bidding the wrong contract is worse than not bidding at all. And it does not stop at finding them: the solicitation documents are read for you and the requirements, deadlines and mandatory pre-bid meetings pulled out, the bid is priced against what the government actually paid, your proposal is drafted, and a step-by-step plan tracks it all the way to Won — in English or Spanish. 7-day free trial, full Pro access, cancel in one click.

Questions professional services ask
How do I find federal consulting contracts?
They're posted on SAM.gov under professional-services NAICS codes. The volume is enormous and the descriptions are vague on purpose. YNTELRADAR reads the full solicitation — including Section M, which tells you how you'll actually be scored — and tells you in one line whether it's worth your time.
What is Section M and why does it matter more than the scope?
Section M is the evaluation criteria: exactly how the government will score your proposal. If Section M weights past performance at 40% and you have none in that domain, you're bidding to lose no matter how good your technical approach is.
Do I need past performance to win my first federal contract?
Not always. Some solicitations accept commercial past performance, and some small-business set-asides weight it lightly. But read Section M first — that's where you find out, and it's the fastest way to avoid wasting two weeks.
What NAICS codes cover consulting and professional services?
541611 (General Management Consulting), 541618 (Other Management Consulting), 541330 (Engineering Services), 611430 (Training) and 541990 (Other Professional and Technical). The solicitation names one, and it's the first eligibility filter.
How competitive are federal professional services contracts?
Very — it's a low-barrier category, so bidder counts run high. That's exactly why filtering matters: winning depends on bidding fewer, better-matched contracts rather than more of them.
What is a capability statement and do I need one?
A one-to-two page summary of what you do, your NAICS codes, certifications, past performance and contact info. Contracting officers ask for it constantly. Yours is also what YNTELRADAR scores every opportunity against.
Can a solo consultant win a government contract?
Yes, particularly on small task orders and under set-asides. The constraint is bandwidth: you can only write so many proposals, so each one has to be aimed at something you can genuinely win.
How long does a federal proposal take to write?
One to three weeks for a serious one. Which is why an amendment that moves the due date up nine days — a normal occurrence — can end a bid you'd otherwise have submitted.
Everything you get
The whole cycle, on every contract
Finding the notice is the part everyone does — it is public. This is the rest of the job.
Federal, state and local
We are not a SAM.gov reader — SAM is one source of many. State portals, plus cities, counties, school districts and universities. The map shows exactly how deep we go in your state.
Scored against your business
Every notice gets 0–100 against your codes, your states and the work you actually do — with the reasons written out and checkable against the notice itself, not a number you have to trust.
The solicitation documents, read for you
We open the attachments and pull out the scope, what you need to qualify, the conditions and every date — including whether the pre-bid meeting is mandatory. And you can put a question to the documents.
Priced from what the government actually paid
Not what the notice asks for: the award history under the same code, with real amounts, so your number starts from evidence instead of a guess.
Who won
The companies that won comparable contracts under the same code, with the agency, the amount and the date. Where a code has no history on file we say so, instead of showing zeros.
Recompetes
Multi-year contracts coming up for renewal, spotted well before the notice is published — the work starts long before the solicitation does.
Teaming
Partner matching for the work you can't take on alone — and only partners we actually hold a contact for.
The proposal, drafted
A proposal draft built from the solicitation and your profile, the compliance matrix, and the email to the contracting officer. You edit instead of starting from a blank page.
From found to won
The capture plan with its tasks, the deadlines on your calendar — exportable to .ics, which nobody else in this market does — and the bid followed through to its result.
Daily digest and instant alerts
A daily digest built around your profile, instant alerts on what can't wait, and a warning when a deadline moves. The product chases you, not the other way round.
In English and in Spanish
The whole product in English and Spanish — the feed, the emails, the PDFs and everything the AI writes. Not a translated home page.
Every tool in this market covers a slice of that list, and some cover their slice very well. Nobody else covers the whole cycle — that is what we built.
