Government contracting · Start ready. Pursue informed.
From business setup
to your next federal pursuit.
Scope the help your company needs: entity readiness, registration, certification research, opportunity discovery, historical award intelligence, and proposal preparation.
Learn what buyers buy
Review two years of federal contract activity across general construction, MEP, engineering, and IT. Use comparable records to inform pursuit decisions.
Pursue with context
Define source-backed opportunity briefs with buyer history, relevant past awards, set-aside requirements, deadlines, and bid-readiness gaps.
Federal award research snapshot
What has the government been buying?
Loading the dated USAspending research snapshot…
Federal prime-contract data only. Historical amounts do not establish the budget for a new solicitation. State/local awards and subcontract activity require additional sources.
Download the research dataHow historical amounts will be used in opportunity briefs
For each government pursuit, scope a comparison using the relevant NAICS/PSC, agency, location, scope, and award date. Show the source award, recipient, amount basis, and differences from the new opportunity. Broad category totals and the largest-award examples below are market context, not automatically comparable bids.
If no defensible comparable is found, mark the benchmark unavailable rather than invent an estimated award amount. Cross-source links need validated award and agency identifiers; a similar title alone is not a confirmed match.
Become a government contractor
A readiness path for your company.
Already registered? Focus on the gaps. Starting out? Begin with business and federal registration basics.
Get the next steps that fit your starting point.
Your checklist will cover entity records, registration, classifications, capability materials, and requirements to review before a bid.
Business structure, tax status, and certification are different
A sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, or corporation describes how the business is organized. An S corporation election concerns tax treatment. SAM registration and SBA certifications are separate processes. A company should use the structure and designations that fit its facts, not attempt to claim every type.
BidForge can help organize questions and documents. State formation and tax choices should be reviewed with an attorney or qualified tax adviser. SBA business-structure guide
What tailored government-contracting support can include
Entity-record preparation; SAM/UEI and CAGE or NCAGE coordination as applicable; NAICS/PSC research; certification application preparation; capability statements and past-performance summaries; buyer targeting; solicitation compliance matrices; and proposal schedules. Review licensing, bonding, insurance, wage, cybersecurity, and other requirements against the specific solicitation.
SAM.gov registration is free. Optional BidForge preparation or workflow services are quoted separately. Register directly or seek free registration help through APEX.
Data sources and connection status
The award-history section uses a dated USAspending API snapshot. The SAM.gov Opportunities adapter is prepared but is not live: it requires an authorized SAM.gov account API key and server-side activation. No API key belongs in this public form.
SAM.gov Opportunities API · USAspending API · Official certification guidance
BidForge is an independent service, not a government agency. Registration, certification, contract awards, and business results are not guaranteed. Applicants remain responsible for accurate statements and authorized submissions.
Your systems. A connected plan.
AI that follows the work
across your software.
Design a company-specific scheduling or project-management agent around the tools you already own. Start with one useful connection and expand to the workflows that matter most.
Schedule with context
Scope AI-assisted look-aheads, constraint reviews, and schedule narratives tied to actual project records.
Manage by exception
Bring the owner’s priorities into proposed action lists across procurement, field work, quality, and turnover.
Keep people in control
Design source-linked recommendations, named reviewers, and a record of approved changes to the systems of record.
CUSTOM IMPLEMENTATION
Start with your stack and your biggest bottleneck.
Select your systems to see the connection assessments, data requirements, first phase, and success measure to discuss.
Example: trace a late equipment package through turnover
Proposed workflow: link a supplier’s revised delivery date to an equipment tag, its installation activity, model reference, test prerequisites, and owner milestone. Prepare an impact brief with source records and recovery options for review.
The scheduler validates dates and logic; the project team approves any updates. This is an implementation example, not a live simulation or a connected feature on this site.
Integration candidates, not prebuilt BidForge connectors. Compatibility is confirmed per product, edition, license, data scope, and customer authorization. Build and operating costs are quoted for your company. Product names identify customer systems; no vendor partnership is implied.
One lifecycle. A starting point for every team.
From the first signal
to the final handoff.
Explore the workflow you want to improve. Every engagement is tailored to your company; deliverables, implementation, and pricing are agreed individually.
Deliverables to define
Where AI can help
What moves to the next team
The explorer describes workflow options, not a live project-management workspace. Scope, data access, integrations, and acceptance criteria are agreed before implementation.
Mission critical + modular delivery
Follow the package.
Not just the project name.
From early data-center intelligence to factory-built assemblies and system turnover, scope the workflow around the package your company can deliver.
Find package opportunities
Target data centers, airports, power, industrial, and infrastructure programs. Define pursuits for modular electrical rooms, equipment skids, prefab MEP, and other specialty packages.
Connect factory and field
Scope tracking for design interfaces, OFCI/CFCI responsibilities, factory testing, transport, receiving, storage conditions, and installation readiness.
Build toward acceptance
Define room and system readiness, project-specific commissioning stages, test evidence, open issues, and owner turnover requirements.
Project-specific commissioning and energy-control procedures remain subject to the owner’s requirements and authorized personnel.

An affordable starting point, defined together
A plan built around your business.
A price built around the work.
No standard package can reflect every company. Your proposal is based on the outcome you want, the simplest useful solution, and the budget you set.
01 / Your priorities
Start with the owner’s goals.
More opportunities? Faster bids? Less admin? Better project visibility? Tell us where the business needs help and how you will measure success.
- Your business, customers, and team
- Your highest-value bottleneck
- Your existing tools and working methods
02 / Your budget
Find the smallest useful first step.
Set a comfortable investment level. We will propose a focused first phase and explain the tradeoffs. If the full idea exceeds the budget, we will discuss a smaller scope.
- A specific agent, task, or workflow
- Separate build and ongoing costs
- Clear software and usage assumptions
03 / Your decision
Expand when the value is clear.
Agree on deliverables and acceptance criteria before work starts. Review the first phase against your goals before deciding whether to add more.
- Defined scope and written pricing
- Training and support options
- Additional work only by agreement
You set the direction. We scope the solution.
Each proposal identifies what is included, what it costs to build and run, and what requires further work. No universal monthly price or automatic percentage-of-award fee.
Pricing is agreed individually before paid work begins. Results depend on the agreed scope, available data, adoption, and business conditions.

Commercial FAQ
Clear terms before commitment.
Is BidForge software or a managed service?
We can scope an AI agent, a focused program, or a managed workflow around your company. Discovery determines which approach fits your goals, systems, people, and budget.
What makes the custom agent specific to our company?
Its instructions, workflows, knowledge sources, templates, approval gates, user roles, and outputs are configured around your organization. Scope and access are established during discovery and validation.
Does AI make the final estimating decision?
No. BidForge accelerates research, document analysis, estimate structure, and workflow steps. Qualified people retain authority for quantities, pricing, commercial risk, and bid submission.
How is our price determined?
We agree a company-specific scope and written quote. Build costs, ongoing support, software subscriptions, and usage costs are explained separately where applicable. There is no standard award-percentage fee or mandatory published monthly tier.
Can you work with our existing tools?
Yes, when included in scope. The custom-agent discovery process identifies required systems, supported integration methods, data permissions, and the safest deployment path.
Can we start with one service and expand?
Yes. Start with one well-defined problem, agree on a practical measure of success, and review the results before deciding to expand. Larger programs can be phased to fit your priorities and budget.
Ready for your next project?
Start with qualified leads, add estimating capacity, or deploy an AI agent designed exclusively around your company's knowledge and workflow.
