FORGE Bid Engine

From the moment a solicitation drops to a submission-ready package.

The Bid Engine watches the federal market for you, tells you the instant a high-fit opportunity is ingested, reads the solicitation with AI, prices the bid, tracks every compliance requirement, catalogs every required document and subcontractor reg, and assembles the entire five-volume package as a single zip — so a small team bids like a large one.

01 · Watch
Opportunity Watch Engine

Daily SAM.gov polling across LOGCAP, AFCAP, SOFGLSS, SBIR, and base-operations vehicles.

Automated email the moment it lands

A high-fit opportunity triggers an SES alert on ingest — you hear about it before your competition opens SAM.

Opportunity Watch Engine

You hear about the right opportunity first.

Every day, the engine polls SAM.gov across the vehicles you care about — LOGCAP, AFCAP, SOFGLSS, SBIR, and base operations — scores each notice locally, then runs it through an AWS Bedrock classifier that tiers it HIGH / MED / LOW and labels the vehicle.

  • Automated email alert on ingest. The instant a high-fit opportunity is classified, an SES alert lands in your inbox — no dashboard-watching required.
  • Quick-filter tabs by fit tier and vehicle, with live counters for new-today and high-fit-this-week.
  • One-click Start Bid turns a watched opportunity into a live bid with the solicitation already linked.

Solicitation intake

The AI reads the solicitation so your team doesn't have to.

Drop in the PWS, SOW, or RFP — native PDF, DOCX, or XLSX. FORGE extracts the CLINs, CDRLs, and labor categories, tracks amendments, and attaches a confidence score so you know where to double-check. From there it advances straight into the bid pipeline.

Cost proposal builder

A DCAA-ready price, with the math shown.

Build Section B from direct labor, subcontractors, and ODCs, layered with your own indirect rates — overhead, G&A, and fee — all editable in place. See margin sensitivity at a glance, then export the full workbook (five sheets) to XLSX or CSV for your contracts team.

  • Indirect-rate editor (overhead / G&A / fee) that recomputes the whole roll-up live.
  • Labor-hour-burden margin sensitivity — see the fee and grand-total impact before you commit.
  • Native XLSX export, sheet-per-volume, straight from FORGE data.

Compliance, tracked

Nothing slips through the checklist.

The Bid Engine keeps a live compliance checklist across every volume and flags what's still required before you can submit:

  • Technical: PWS compliance matrix, Section L/M evaluation criteria, phase-in / IOC / FOC schedule, risk register.
  • Management: key-personnel resumes, org chart, transition plan, and every CDRL with a first-delivery plan.
  • Cost & reps/certs: Section B pricing, labor build-up, current indirect rates, and live SAM.gov reps & certs.
  • Small business: FAR 52.219-9 subcontracting plan, SB goals, and the overall participation target.
Submission package

The whole package, zipped.

FORGE assembles all five volumes — cover, technical, management, past performance, cost, and subcontracting — into a single submission-ready zip. A live manifest validates the package and blocks submission on missing required documents (e.g. a placeholder past-performance volume), so you never ship an incomplete bid.

  • Document cataloging. A per-prime document library — PMPs, resumes, renewals, CPARS — attaches the right artifact to the right volume.
  • Manifest warnings call out exactly what's a placeholder or missing before you submit.
  • One Download .zip produces the complete, organized submission package.

Audit Trail Hub — sub verification, flow-down clauses, DD-254, reps & certs, GIDEPclick to enlarge
Subcontractors & audit trail

Subcontractor regs, handled and audit-ready.

Subs register through a magic-link portal; FORGE OCRs their documents, verifies SAM.gov status, and shows a traffic-light readiness view with an expiration calendar. Behind it sits an Audit Trail Hub that keeps the regulatory artifacts current:

  • Sub verification audit trail
  • Flow-down clause matrix
  • DD-254 tracker & issuance log
  • Annual reps & certs affirmation
  • Document expiration & re-verification
  • ISR / SSR subcontract reports
  • Cyber incident reporting log
  • GIDEP counterfeit-parts log

Bid like a large business, with the team you have.
