Most GovCon software finds you more bids. BidVector tells you which ones are worth writing, drafts the ones that are, and holds each to a cited compliance gate before you submit.

§ Who It Is For

Run your BD desk. Or run every client's.

Contractors run one company: its certifications, past performance and lane, and every bid / no‑bid call a BD hire would make. APEX counselors, consultants and programs run every client's, each counselor's caseload walled off from the rest.

Sample workspace. The companies, balances and bids shown here are illustrative; no client data appears on this page. The verified record is in the hero and the teardown.

§ New Certification

New certification? See what it unlocked.

An 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB or HUBZone certification changes which notices you can bid and which incumbents you can go after.

Your Record

Your certifications and awards, read from the public record.

Give it a name or a UEI. It reads your SAM registration, your federal awards, and your subcontract history.

VerifiedSAM or USAspending said itSuggestedread off your website, unconfirmed

Every finding says which it is. Nothing reaches your ledger until you accept it.

What It Unlocked

The set‑asides you now qualify for, and who holds the work.

Each open notice's set‑aside is checked against the certifications on your SAM record. Contracts in your NAICS codes that end within eighteen months are listed with their incumbent.

Recompetesthe incumbent and the award behind eachTeammatesfirms whose awards show the scope you are missing

A certification counts once it is on your SAM record. Nothing here is a probability of winning.

Described, not shown. No published example of either exists yet, and this page does not mock one up.

§ How It Works

From the notice to the submitted bid.

STEP 01
Discover
Open notices in your NAICS codes, each checked against your SAM record for set‑aside, size, registration and exclusions.
STEP 02
Capture
Recompetes in your lane with their incumbents, and the firms that hold the scope you would have to team for.
STEP 03 · THE GATE
Qualify
The whole package read against your record: kill sheet, requirements matrix, FAR audit, strategy brief.
STEP 04
Draft
Proposal volumes drafted against the matrix, then a QA pass on the assembled package.
STEP 05
Audit
An optional Red Team read of the draft before an evaluator sees it.
STEP 06
Submit
A checklist gates the submission. The outcome, won or lost, closes the record.

Five rows in a row name ArMA. The ledger held nothing on it, so the matrix flagged all five instead of filling them in.

One published run: 12m 48s on a 288‑page base document and 93 attachments, far larger than most packages.

What BidVector refuses to do.

Every finding traces to a line in the solicitation, a field in your record, or a public award. Citations are the part everyone claims. Saying what it could not verify is the part nobody selling “win more” can copy.

It will not guess.

A requirement your ledger cannot answer comes back as [FLAG: Missing Data], not filled in. The row stays flagged until you supply the fact.

It will not invent past performance.

Award records come from USAspending and from your own documents. If neither has it, it does not appear in your ledger.

It will not quote what it cannot find.

A quotation it cannot match in the solicitation loses its quote marks and its citation before you see it.

It reports an unstated deadline as unstated.

The kill sheet in the hero shows one: the proposal due date is not in the text, so the run says TBD and points at the SF33 block.

It claims no compliance certification.

None is held, so none is claimed. The security page says what is tested instead.
