DESCRIPTION, APP STORE 3984 of 4000 characters
InstantSam reads federal contract solicitations for you, up to fifteen attachments on a notice, and tells you what the work is, what it requires and what would disqualify you. Then it drafts your proposal from your own record, tracks every bid you chase, and shows you what you win and why you lose.
WHAT IT DOES WITH A SOLICITATION
Open any notice and have the documents read. You get back:
- The scope of work, in plain language
- The key requirements, each with its source sentence where the notice gives one
- How offers will be evaluated
- What would make your offer non-responsive (in the checklist)
- The risks worth knowing before you bid
HOME: WHAT NEEDS A DECISION TODAY
InstantSam opens on what needs a decision: amendments to notices you are pursuing, deadlines this week, and closed bids with no result recorded.
NOTICES: SEARCH, MATCHES AND ALERTS
Search every open federal opportunity by keyword, NAICS code, agency or set-aside, and save a search as an alert.
WHETHER YOU CAN BID
Save your NAICS codes and set-aside statuses once. On a paid plan, a notice opens with a straight answer when your profile can give one: strong match, worth a look, or probably not, with the reasons.
WHAT CHANGED
When a pursued notice is amended, InstantSam says what changed: a moved deadline, a changed set-aside, new attachments, a cancellation.
YOUR PROPOSAL, DRAFTED
Each section of your outline is drafted from what it must answer, quoted from the solicitation, and from your own company record. A fact only you can supply is marked in brackets; prices are never written. Redraft a section with your own instruction and share the draft in Word.
PURSUITS: EVERY BID YOU ARE CHASING
Create a pursuit from any notice in one step. Move it from Watching to Bidding to Submitted, then record Won, Lost or No bid, and why.
REPORTS: WHAT YOU WIN, AND WHY YOU LOSE
Win rate, won value, median award and how long bids take, from the results you record, and why pursuits ended.
THE REST
- A deadline calendar, including when questions close
- Reminders before an 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone or SDVOSB certification expires
- Award outcomes: who won what you pursued, and what they were paid
