90-Day Bid Challenge Overview:

 

Build a Stronger, More Consistent Bidding Operation

The 90-Day Bid Challenge is an intensive, hands-on mentorship program for serious government contractors who are ready to write stronger proposals, increase their bidding volume, and build a repeatable path toward winning government contracts.

Over 90 days, you’ll work directly with Derek James, a federal contracting expert with more than 13 years of experience who has helped clients secure over $75 million in government contracts.

Hands-On Support at Every Stage

Throughout the Challenge, you’ll receive guidance while actively working on your business and real contract opportunities, including:

  • Screen-recorded proposal reviews before submission

  • Weekly group coaching and working calls

  • Monthly strategy and accountability calls

  • Direct Telegram access to Derek for real-time guidance

  • A structured curriculum that meets you at your current level

  • Support from a small cohort of serious government contractors

Whether you’re working toward your first contract, building consistency after initial wins, or refining an established bidding process, you’ll receive the structure, feedback, and accountability needed to keep progressing.

The Three Phases of the Challenge

Phase 1: Positioning & Proposal Foundation
Strengthen how your company is positioned, sharpen your capabilities, and create or refine a professional sample proposal that can support future opportunities.

Phase 2: Opportunity Selection & Proposal Mastery
Improve how you identify quality opportunities, evaluate whether they fit your business, and apply Derek’s framework to develop more competitive proposals.

Phase 3: Execution, Refinement & Systems
Put your strategy into action, receive feedback on active bids, improve your process, and develop a sustainable system for pursuing contracts consistently.

Build a System That Lasts Beyond the Challenge

The goal is to help you establish the skills, systems, and confidence to identify the right opportunities, submit competitive proposals, and pursue government contracts consistently long after the 90 days are complete.

DISLCAIMER: Derek's primary product is Proposal Writing and Proposal Reviews. He offers these through his courses and coaching services.

Derek is not a lawyer and does not have a professional designation to interpret the law or federal regulations.  He shares his experience working in the industry and you operate at your own risk. 

It's incredibly important to remain in control of the key and vital tasks of any contract you win as the prime. You must stay involved and in control at all times when managing teaming partners, and you should share in as much of the work as you possibly can, this way you can learn and grow your own business as much as possible. This is not a hands-off or passive industry. It's a lot of hard work, but can be very rewarding as well.
