Quote-Ready Workflow

From SAM.gov opportunity to a bid you can actually price.

SolicitationIQ is government contracting software for small business government contracts. Use it for solicitation analysis, RFQ analysis, RFP analysis, small business set-aside contracts, and federal contract bids where you need to understand the scope, make a bid/no-bid decision, request subcontractor quotes, and move through a quote-ready bid workflow.

Find and organize opportunities
Turn SAM.gov opportunities into saved records in a government bid tracker so each lead has a due date, buyer, source, and next action.
Know what needs pricing
Long government solicitations become plain-English requirements, quantities, red flags, and bid instructions for the government contract quote process.
Get quote calls moving
Create a vendor quote packet for suppliers, specialty vendors, and subcontractors, including teams using middleman contracting models.

We Get It

It's not about ability.
It's about having the right process.

Thousands of contract opportunities are posted every day. Most small businesses never bid -- not because they're unqualified, but because the process is overwhelming.

The dream vs. the reality
GovCon influencers make government contracting look easy and lucrative. Then you open your first solicitation: pages of legal language, FAR clauses, and pricing forms. This is where government contract bid software helps you turn confusion into a clear next step.
"I signed up on SAM.gov months ago and haven't submitted a single bid. I don't even know where to start."
You don't have hours to decode a document
Large companies have dedicated bid teams, estimators, and vendor relationships built over years. You have a browser tab and a deadline. By the time you figure out what's being asked, the window has already closed.
"I spent an entire weekend on one solicitation and still wasn't sure if I was reading it right."
You don't know who to call for pricing
Even when you understand the scope, finding the right vendors, reaching out professionally, and collecting quotes before the deadline -- is a whole other challenge that stops most people cold.
"I found a great opportunity but had no idea how to get subcontractor pricing in time to submit."
