Government contract price estimate
The hardest number in any federal bid is the price. Bid too high and you lose to a leaner competitor; bid too low and you win work that loses money. Most teams guess from a single past award or an internal rate card, which is why so many bids miss the mark.
AwardCast estimates what a specific solicitation will actually close for, expressed as a price range with the competition you should expect. It is built on millions of real federal awards, not a rule of thumb, so the estimate reflects how this agency has really paid for this kind of work.
- A forecast price range for a specific solicitation, before you write the bid.
- The competition to expect and how the agency has paid on similar work.
- Comparable recent awards, so your number is grounded in real outcomes.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is a government contract price estimate?
AwardCast publishes a track record: every forecast is scored against the real award once it is public. An estimate is a probability range, not a guarantee, and the range widens when the work is unusual or the history is thin.
What do I need to get an estimate?
A SAM.gov solicitation link or number is enough. AwardCast reads the agency, category, set-aside and place of performance from the notice and returns a forecast price range.
Is this the same as a price-to-win study?
It answers the same question, the likely winning price, in seconds instead of weeks, and for a fraction of the cost of a consulting engagement.
Where does the data come from?
Public federal award data from USASpending and SAM.gov. AwardCast is independent and not affiliated with the US government.
