How to win government contracts
Winning federal work is part registration and compliance, part relationships, and, at the moment of decision, price. Two capable companies bid the same job; the one whose number is closest to what the agency wants to pay usually wins. That is why the winning price deserves as much rigor as the technical proposal.
AwardCast handles the pricing side. For any solicitation it forecasts the likely winning price and the competition to expect, so you spend your effort on the pursuits you can actually win at a number that makes money.
- 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
What matters most to win a federal contract?
Being compliant and responsive is the price of entry. Among qualified bidders, price and past performance usually decide it. AwardCast focuses on getting the price right.
How do I choose which contracts to pursue?
Forecast several opportunities and pursue the ones you can win at a profitable price. A forecast on every opportunity makes that triage cheap.
Do I need to be a small business?
No, but set-asides reserve some work for small and disadvantaged businesses. AwardCast shows the set-aside on each solicitation.
