Question 1

Do I need a paid SAM.gov subscription or active registration to use WinBidIQ?

Accepted Answer

No. SAM.gov itself is a free government portal, but its search filters and navigation are notoriously cumbersome. WinBidIQ connects directly via official government APIs to index every active solicitation, presolicitation, and award. You do not need a paid service or even an active UEI to start finding matching contracts and drafting responses.

Question 2

How does the 14-day free trial work? Is a credit card required?

Accepted Answer

You get unrestricted access to all Pro features for 14 full days. No credit card is required to sign up. You can analyze live solicitations, check your semantic Fit Scores, and generate proposal outlines immediately. If you choose not to subscribe after 14 days, you will never be charged.

Question 3

Can WinBidIQ read complex PDF attachments, SOWs, and Section L/M criteria?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Unlike basic search tools that only read the title and synopsis, WinBidIQ's document ingestion engine parses Section C (Statement of Work / PWS), Section L (Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors), and Section M (Evaluation Factors for Award). It extracts key requirements and compares them against your company's core capabilities to calculate your real Bid/No-Bid Fit Score.

Question 4

How does WinBidIQ compare to GovWin IQ (Deltek) or Bloomberg Government?

Accepted Answer

Legacy enterprise suites like GovWin IQ typically quote $15,000 to $30,000+ per year for a single user seat, locked behind strict multi-year contracts. WinBidIQ is engineered specifically for agile primes and small-to-midsize contractors: providing modern AI proposal drafting, recompete detection, and automated alerts for just $49/month (or $39/month on annual billing) with cancel-anytime flexibility.

Question 5

Is our proprietary pricing, past performance, and proposal data kept confidential?

Accepted Answer

100% confidential. We maintain an ironclad Zero-Training AI Policy: your uploaded capability statements, pricing rates, and proposal drafts are never shared, exposed, or used to train public AI foundation models. All tenant data is strictly segregated via Supabase Row-Level Security (RLS) and encrypted with AES-256 and TLS 1.3.

Question 6

Can I export generated proposals and compliance matrices to Microsoft Word?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every proposal outline, Section L compliance matrix, and capability statement can be exported in one click to fully editable Microsoft Word (.docx) or clean PDF format, formatted according to standard federal proposal conventions ready for your capture team.
