This Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Federal Government Advisors (FGA), a Florida corporation with its principal place of business at 8180 Woodland Center Blvd, Tampa, FL 33614, and the undersigned individual or business entity (the “Client”).
This Agreement outlines the terms and conditions under which FGA will provide registration, certification, bid preparation, and consulting services to the Client. This Agreement is a legally binding contract between the parties.
By signing below, or by selecting “I Accept” electronically and utilizing FGA’s services, the Client acknowledges and agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions stated in this Agreement in their entirety.
2 Proposal Development
FGA provides support for proposal evaluation, narrative development, formatting, and submission guidance. FGA does not provide pricing support and is not responsible for pricing strategy, estimates,or financial modeling of any kind.
FGA will support a maximum of two (2) proposals per month, and will only work on one proposal at a time to ensure focused, high-quality development. While FGA will handle the proposal development, the Client acknowledges and agrees that the Client shall be the sole entity to submit the government bid via mail, email, or other transmission means.
Once a Client selects a solicitation for proposal support, the sourcing team will temporarily pause that solicitation until the Client is closer to the submission deadline. This pause ensures the proposal team can prioritize quality and compliance. Clients who prefer to continue monitoring opportunities may request alternative sourcing arrangements.
All communication with the assigned bid developer should be conducted via email. To ensure organized workflow and accountability, FGA requests that Clients refrain from calling or texting bid developers after business hours (5:30 PM EST) or on weekends. This helps our team manage high volumes efficiently and ensures your project receives the full attention it deserves. The bid developer will provide the completed proposal to the Client no later than 24 to 36 hours prior to the official due date, provided all required information has been submitted on time by the Client.
Google Meet calls are available upon request. Due to high volume and limited availability, Clients must email a meeting request along with a brief explanation of the intended discussion. Meeting availability will be provided based on the team’s schedule.
The Client is responsible for providing all required documentation and solicitation-specific materials to the bid developer. These may include, but are not limited to, a completed W-9 form, proof of insurance, business licenses, certifications, references, pricing breakdowns, or other attachments explicitly required by the solicitation. FGA is not liable if the Client is unable to pursue a contract due to missing or incomplete documentation or failure to meet eligibility requirements.
Customers must respond and send necessary documents listed on the check list 5 days prior to bid due date
