- · DHA service desk contract is a near-identical scope, CPARS Exceptional

Three things a capture manager does. Now one desk does them.
The order matters: nothing gets drafted that was not qualified, and nothing gets qualified that did not match. That discipline is what keeps small shops from writing proposals they were never going to win.
- STEP 1
Match
Every morning BidDesk reads the full SAM.gov extract and scores each new notice against your NAICS codes, set-aside certifications, keywords, and states. You see why each one scored the way it did.
Output Ranked feed with reasons
- STEP 2
Qualify
Pull the attachments, and the desk reads the whole thing: what they are buying, how it will be evaluated, the incumbent signals, every submission rule that can disqualify you, and a bid/no-bid call with a score.
Output Opportunity brief + compliance matrix
- STEP 3
Draft
Section by section, the desk writes the first draft from your own past performance and capability profile, citing requirement IDs and marking every fact it could not verify for you to confirm.
Output Requirement-mapped proposal sections
What it replaces
A proposal writer bills $5,000 to $15,000 per response. A search-only subscription costs $500 to $2,500 a year and stops at the search. Enterprise capture platforms start at five figures and want a demo first.
BidDesk is $299 a month for the whole desk: the feed, the read, the verdict, and the draft. One extra qualified bid a quarter pays for the year.

Questions contractors ask first
Do I need a SAM.gov API key?
No. The daily feed comes from the public SAM.gov extract. A free key from your SAM.gov account lets the desk pull attachments for a notice automatically; without it, you upload or paste them.
Is my data used to train models?
No. Your profile, past performance, and documents are sent to the model only to produce your analysis, under an API agreement that excludes training. Nothing you upload is shared with other customers.
How good is the draft?
It is a first draft a proposal manager would recognize: buyer terminology, requirement IDs in the text, and a placeholder wherever it could not verify a fact. You own every word that ships.
Federal only?
Federal first, because that is where the public data is complete. State and local portals are on the roadmap; tell us which ones you bid on.
