A retainer turns contract pursuit from a project into a system. Every Monday, a curated digest of opportunities. Every quarter, a fresh capability statement. Every renewal, on calendar. The cipher, on tap.
Every Monday at 7am, retainer clients open their inbox to a curated digest: three to seven active opportunities matching their NAICS, certifications, and pursuit window, with a Cipher recommendation on which to chase, which to skip, and which to watch.
Curated opportunities matching your NAICS, set-asides, and capacity. With Cipher's recommendation column.
Quarterly refresh of past performance, contracts, and certifications. The statement is never stale.
Renewal-tracked across SAM.gov, Hudson, MBE, 8(a). Nothing lapses on our watch.
Pre-bought hours per quarter for live bid response work. Standard tier covers small bids; Pro covers mid-bids.
90-minute strategic review. Ladder check, pursuit calibration, market shifts. Owner-level conversation.
Slack or email priority queue for ad-hoc questions. We answer in business hours, not whenever.
For businesses with one to three active pursuit lanes. Weekly digest, quarterly capability refresh, certification maintenance, and one small bid per quarter.
For businesses pursuing federal flagship work or running multiple bid lanes simultaneously. Includes the full Standard scope plus mid-bid capacity and capture support.
A capability statement written cold takes us four days. A capability statement written for a retainer client takes one, because we've been listening for three months. The retainer doesn't buy more hours. It buys the context that makes every hour count more.
