The free Lost Bid Snapshot
An open bid only shows you what is happening now.
It usually does not tell you who has held the contract, what the agency paid last time, how many contractors competed, where your pricing has historically landed, or which contracts are likely to return next. We organize the observed history behind the opportunity—so your team can decide where to focus before the deadline starts the clock.

The market behind one bid
This is one contract. We map the whole market.
Your free Snapshot shows what happened on one observed bid. The Contract Intelligence Build applies the same research across your covered territory, then personalizes it around your service categories, drive time, contract band, bidding history, and competitors.

Deliver in 10 days
You receive a searchable intelligence sheet/database and an executive PDF summary.
- Step 4
Watch it evolve
For 30 days, new published records and request returns are added at no additional charge.
Fit scoring
Every fit label shows its inputs.
HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW aren't opinions. Each rating shows the three inputs behind it—contract size band, service-category match, and drive time—so your team can see why a contract ranked where it did, and disagree with it.

What is observed
What every build includes, and what depends on the record.
Public procurement records are incomplete and inconsistent from agency to agency. We separate the guaranteed minimum from what we add when an agency publishes it.
| Guaranteed minimum | Available where observed |
|---|---|
| At least 25 relevant awards on the prebuilt territory board | Complete bidder lists and bid spreads |
| Agency, contract, winner/incumbent, observed award value | Evaluator scores or full winning proposals |
| Published term where available; otherwise marked not published | Option-year exercise confirmations |
| Clearly labeled estimated rebid window | Bonding, set-aside, and restriction history |
| 12-month calendar, company record, top five competitors, fit inputs | Documented loss reason or agency debrief |
Our intelligence is built from observed public records. Record availability varies by agency, and some fields may be unavailable or require a later public-record request. Estimated rebid windows are planning signals based on observed dates and published terms—not guaranteed solicitation dates.

FAQ
Questions worth asking first.
The records are public, but they're spread across agency portals, bid tabulations, board minutes, and public-records requests, in different formats and rarely side by side. The build does that work for your territory, then adds what's specific to your company: your observed bid record, the competitors you actually face, fit inputs for each contract, and a 12-month rebid calendar. If you only want to browse open bids and past awards, our Bid Board is free.
No. The underlying records are public, so other companies can find the same awards. What's built for you is the personalization—your bid history, your competitor set, and your fit inputs—and that company record isn't shared with other customers.
Values come from published records, and each field is labeled observed, published, or estimated. When an agency hasn't published something, we mark it “Not published” instead of filling the gap. Estimated rebid windows are planning signals based on observed award dates and published terms—not guaranteed solicitation dates.
No. You'll see observed award values, where your past bids landed against them, and who won. Your team sets the final price and owns every bid decision.
We don't promise that. Awards depend on price, scope, competition, and agency decisions outside anyone else's control. The build helps your team decide where to focus estimating time before a deadline starts the clock.
We'll tell you directly. Record availability varies by agency, and some fields only come back from a public-records request, which can take time. If your area isn't covered yet, we'll say so rather than send a thin Snapshot.
