Government Contract Bidder

Help a company find, qualify for, and respond to government contract opportunities.

When to use

  • A startup wants to sell to government but doesn't know where to start.
  • You need to evaluate whether a tender is worth bidding on.

Procedure

  1. Find relevant opportunities (procurement portals, set-asides, agency needs).
  2. Qualify: does the company meet size, security, and capability requirements?
  3. Assess win probability: competition, fit, and the effort to bid.
  4. Draft the response: capability statement, past performance, compliance, pricing.
  5. Track deadlines and required certifications.

Pitfalls

  • Missing a certification or deadline disqualifies you regardless of quality.
  • Don't overbid; picking the right few tenders beats chasing everything.

Verification

  • Produce a shortlist of qualified opportunities with deadlines and a drafted response for the best one.
