About Debra McClaughry

I help planning, engineering, environmental consulting, and architecture firms find and evaluate public-sector opportunities that fit their work.

I bring 35 years of operations experience across construction and professional services, including work as a fractional COO. I understand how easily opportunity searches can become one more job for an already busy principal.

Through DMI, I offer two ways to make that work more dependable. I can build a client-owned RFP Business Development System, test it against live opportunities, train your team, and hand it over in about 90 days. Or I can run the searches and screening for you through the managed RFP Monitor, with a weekly report, selected-opportunity tracking, and one monthly review.

Both start with your services, geography, buyers, and exclusions. You see the source, deadline, fit, open questions, and suggested next step. Your team keeps every pursuit and proposal decision.

I work from Oklahoma with firms nationwide via Zoom. You can choose either offer directly. We'll discuss scope and pricing early, before a full demonstration.
