Ensure proposal sections meet RFP compliance, structure, and style requirements

Reusable Content & Quality Control
Maintain and update reusable content libraries, templates, and boilerplate material
Support style guides, win-theme glossaries, and customer-specific baseline content
Provide surge writing support during concurrent proposal finals
Front-End & Supplemental Support
Support RFI and sources-sought responses, white papers, capability statements, and oral presentation scripts as needed
