Can I bring you a bid I already found?
Yes, whatever the work, and you don't need a subscription. Tell us about the bid and within one business day we'll send you a proposal for that bid, with a flat fee and a straight answer on whether the timeline works. Bids due in under 5 business days may be too tight, and we'll tell you up front.
How much of my time does a bid take with you?
On a short proposal, about 3 to 5 hours: answering our questions (most come already filled in), reviewing the draft, confirming your price and signing. On your own it usually takes 25 to 45. A price-only bid takes less either way. See where the hours go.
What's in the free matches?
A short list of open opportunities that fit your services, area and certifications, each with a fit score, the deadline, and notes on why it fits and what to watch for.
Do you submit bids for us?
No. The bid goes in under your own registration, so you stay in control. But you're not on your own. We give you the finished package with a step-by-step checklist: where to send it, which files, what to sign and the exact deadline. We answer any questions by email.
We've never done government work. Can we still bid?
Yes. You'll need a free SAM.gov registration, and we'll walk you through it. From there we'll point you to contracts sized for a first win.
How much does it cost?
Bid Alerts are $49 a month or $490 a year. Bid Alerts Plus is $149 a month or $1,490 a year and adds one small bid we prepare for you every quarter, 15% off proposal and pricing work, and no setup fee. Sign up online in about 2 minutes, no call needed, and switch plans any time. Proposal and pricing help are flat fees, quoted per bid based on the size of the contract. Your first matches are free.
Which plan should I pick?
If you want to see what's out there, start with Bid Alerts. If you expect to bid at least once a quarter, Bid Alerts Plus pays for itself: a small bid prepared by us is $450 on its own, and Plus includes one every quarter.
