Government bids, ranked for your company every morning
Finding government bids has never been the hard part. There are thousands open at any moment. The hard part is knowing which four are worth your capture team's week, and that is the part we do.

Why finding government bids is easy and choosing them is not
Every public buyer in the country publishes. The federal government publishes in one place, each state publishes somewhere else, and every county, city, school district, transit authority and utility runs a board of its own. Between them they post more work in a week than any contractor could read in a month.
So a capture lead does one of two things. They set a narrow keyword alert and quietly miss work they were qualified to win, or they set a broad one and stop opening the emails by the second week. Both failure modes end at the same place: decisions made on whatever happened to be at the top of the inbox.
- A keyword filter cannot tell an eligible set-aside from an ineligible one
- A keyword filter cannot weigh a value band against what your company can staff and bond
- A keyword filter cannot tell you that a notice with five days left is not a real opportunity for you
- And no filter explains itself, so nothing about the decision is reviewable afterwards
Government bids scored against your company, not your keywords
You describe your company once: the NAICS codes you hold, what you actually do in your own words, your past performance, your set-aside status, the states you can staff and the contract size you can carry. Every new bid gets scored against that description.
- A score out of 100 on each bid, from NAICS overlap, capability fit, set-aside eligibility, place of performance, value band and remaining response time
- One plain sentence per bid saying why it fits your company
- A ranked short list each morning, usually three to ten items
- Weak matches kept and explained, so a no-bid decision has a reason attached
Where the bids come from
- Federal solicitations, amendments and question periods, on every plan
- State, county and municipal bid boards on Capture and Enterprise, described on state and local government bids
- Agency views for your main buyers, such as dod contract opportunities
- Custom sources on Enterprise, including prime contractor portals
All of it is published public procurement data, normalized into one record shape so a municipal notice and a federal solicitation arrive in the same format on the same board.
What happens once a bid is on your board
- Response deadlines tracked with reminders, question deadlines tracked separately on Capture and Enterprise
- Amendments and extensions move the dates the day they post
- Competitor award history beside the bid: who won this work before, for how much and when
- Bid and no-bid decisions recorded, so you can review what you passed on
The result is that the two expensive mistakes stop happening: the bid you never saw, and the bid you saw too late to shape.
