Bid Engine
From a high-fit alert to a costed, compliance-checked, submission-ready proposal package — one pipeline.
A watched opportunity becomes a live bid in one click, with the solicitation already linked. FORGE's AI reads the solicitation and extracts the CLINs, CDRLs, and LCATs, flags ambiguous requirements for human review, and stands up the capture pipeline so nothing starts from a blank page.
The cost proposal is built on live workforce, equipment, and subcontractor data: an indirect-rate editor (overhead / G&A / fee) recomputes the full roll-up live, margin sensitivity shows the fee and grand-total impact before you commit, and a native XLSX export ships sheet-per-volume straight from FORGE data. A compliance checklist tracks each volume — PWS compliance matrix, Section L/M evaluation criteria, phase-in / IOC / FOC schedule, key-personnel and CDRL delivery plans, live SAM.gov reps & certs, and the FAR 52.219-9 subcontracting plan.
The full five-volume package assembles into a single submission-ready zip, with a live manifest that validates it and blocks on placeholders or missing items before you submit. A per-prime document library catalogs PMPs, resumes, renewals, and CPARS and attaches the right artifact to the right volume, while subcontractor registration, document verification, and an audit trail keep teaming review-ready. The engine ships in three tiers — Scout for opportunity discovery and alerts, Capture for the full bid and proposal pipeline, and Enterprise for subcontractor-tenant provisioning, SSO, and white-label.

Common questions
From a linked solicitation it extracts the CLINs, CDRLs, and LCATs; builds a costed proposal on live workforce, equipment, and subcontractor data with an indirect-rate and margin model; tracks compliance across the technical, management, cost, and small-business volumes; and assembles a submission-ready five-volume package as a single validated zip.
Yes. A per-volume checklist tracks the PWS compliance matrix, Section L/M evaluation criteria, phase-in/IOC/FOC schedule, key-personnel and CDRL delivery plans, live SAM.gov reps & certs, and the FAR 52.219-9 small-business subcontracting plan, and the package manifest blocks on placeholders or missing items before submission.
It catalogs subcontractor registration and required documents, verifies them, and keeps an audit trail of teaming agreements — and the Enterprise tier can provision scoped sub-tenant accounts for subcontractors.
