Bid / No-Bid Compatibility Checker
Stop wasting time on contracts you cannot win. Paste a federal opportunity description and your company details — get an instant compatibility score with a clear go/no-go recommendation.
What is a Bid/No-Bid Decision?
A bid/no-bid decision is a structured evaluation of whether a federal opportunity is worth pursuing. Experienced government contractors evaluate 5-10 criteria before committing resources to a proposal: technical fit, past performance alignment, set-aside eligibility, competitive landscape, estimated bid cost, and probability of win (Pwin). This tool automates that initial screen.
Bid/No-Bid Criteria Checklist
The key factors in any bid decision:
- NAICS code match: Does the opportunity fall within your registered NAICS codes?
- Set-aside eligibility: Are you certified for the applicable set-aside (8a, WOSB, HUBZone)?
- Past performance: Do you have 2-3 recent, similar federal contracts as references?
- Technical capability: Can your team deliver the full scope of work?
- Bid cost vs. contract value: Is the B&P investment justified by the contract size?
- Incumbent status: Is there a strong incumbent? Can you displace them?
- Agency relationship: Do you have any existing relationship with this agency?
What Does the Compatibility Score Mean?
The 0–100 score summarizes the supplied text and your self-reported profile using a fixed checklist. It is not a probability of winning and does not verify certifications, pricing, competitors, clearances or every solicitation requirement. Review the official solicitation before committing proposal resources.
