RFP Compass

Find the government contracts worth bidding on, then build the response in one place.

Winning public-sector work usually means hours spent searching bid sites, reading long documents to decide whether to bother, and rebuilding the same answers for every proposal. RFP Compass gathers opportunities into one list, helps the team decide what to pursue, and walks the response through requirements, drafting, and review using material you have already written. The tour follows a fictional county print-and-mail bid with sample text written for the demonstration.

Who it's for

Companies that bid on federal and state contracts, and the small proposal teams who have to read every RFP, decide fast, and still turn in a complete response on time.

What it helps with

  • 01

    Stop hunting for bids

    New federal and state opportunities land in one list, ranked by how well they match what your company actually does, so the best leads rise to the top.

  • 02

    Decide with the facts in front of you

    Every opportunity gets a clear go or no-go assessment covering fit, risks, and gaps, with each point linked to the part of the RFP it came from.

  • 03

    Never wonder what is next

    A guided path takes the response from qualification through requirements, drafting, pricing, review, and submission, so nothing gets missed at the deadline.

  • 04

    Reuse your best writing

    Past proposals and approved boilerplate become the starting point for new drafts and security questionnaires, with sources shown so reviewers can check them.

  • 05

    Work as a team

    Assign sections, leave comments, and see who changed what, without passing a document around by email.

  1. Step01

    See which bids fit before you read them

    Each opportunity shows a fit score, the days left, and a short note on why it might suit you, so the team can shortlist or dismiss it in seconds.

    The Find view in light mode: a fictional Northfield County tax notice print and mail opportunity with a 9 out of 10 fit, 43 days to deadline, a why-this-might-fit note, buyer details, and Open full review, Shortlist, Edit, and Dismiss buttons.
  2. Step02

    Decide whether to bid

    The first step puts the deadline, the mandatory requirements, and the RFP itself in one place, then asks the team to pursue it, decide later, or pass.

    Guided response step 1 of 9, Should we bid on this one, showing a Not yet scored panel with a Score this RFP button, the attached RFP document, the deadline, five mandatory requirements, and Pursue, Decide later, and Pass choices.
  3. Step03

    Know exactly what they are asking for

    Requirements are grouped by topic and flagged when mandatory, each with a link back to where it came from, so nothing in a long RFP gets overlooked.

    Guided response step 2, Here's exactly what they're asking for, listing seven requirements grouped by scope, production, and mail, each marked mandatory with a checkbox and a Where did this come from link.
  4. Step04

    Write the response section by section

    The response is split into manageable sections with a word count for each, so the team can see what is drafted and what still needs work.

    Guided response step 4, Write your response section by section, showing three drafted sections for production approach, data handling and continuity, and reporting and service management, each with word counts and Edit buttons.
  5. Step05

    Edit each section in plain language

    Each section opens in a focused editor beside its outline and reference documents, with gaps highlighted for follow-up before anything goes out.

    The Production approach section open in the draft editor, with referenced documents and outline panels and a paragraph of sample response text written for the fictional demo.
  6. Step06

    Catch unfinished items before submitting

    The review step flags anything still unfinished, from unanswered mandatory requirements to incomplete pricing, so the team clears the gaps before submitting.

    Guided response step 8, Check everything before you submit, with a Blocking issues panel showing 1 blocking item, 3 warnings, and 4 passing checks, above a summary noting 0 of 7 requirements addressed.
  7. Step07

    Keep your best material in one library

    Prior responses, security documents, case studies, and boilerplate live in one shared library, ready to support every future bid.

    The content library of reusable source documents and boilerplate blocks, with an upload form and a list of sample capability statement documents.
  8. Step08

    Pick up any response where you left off

    Every response in progress is one click away, with its status at a glance, so a bid can be paused and resumed without hunting through folders.
