Module 02
Every solicitation hides its real requirements in plain sight. Read these eight parts first, in this order, before you read anything else.
What is actually being bought, and is it the work you do. If the core scope is not your lane, stop here.
The buyer's classification. If your codes do not match, you will not get notified and may not qualify.
Who is allowed to bid. Small business, women-owned, minority, veteran, or open. Confirm you fit before investing time.
Where the work happens, and whether you serve that area. Travel and on-site rules can quietly kill margin.
How they score. Price, past performance, technical approach, or a weighted mix. Write to what scores points.
Years in business, licenses, bonding, insurance, certifications, and required past performance. These are pass or fail gates.
Deadline, portal, page limits, required forms, and submission method. A perfect bid filed wrong is a rejected bid.
The date you can ask the contracting officer for clarity. Miss it and you bid on your own assumptions.
Module 03
Check every box you can answer yes to. Items marked HARD STOP decide it on their own. Your verdict updates as you go.
Module 04
Paste the full solicitation into your AI tool, then run these prompts in order. Each one is built to surface a different risk before you commit.
You are a government contracting analyst. From the solicitation below, extract: issuing agency, solicitation number, title, due date and time, question deadline, estimated value or budget if stated, set-aside or eligibility type, NAICS and NIGP codes, place of performance, and contract term. Present it as a clean labeled list. If a field is not stated, write "not stated." Do not guess. SOLICITATION: [paste here]
Read the solicitation below and extract every requirement marked by "shall," "must," "is required," or "will provide." For each, output a row with: the requirement, the page or section it came from, who owns it on our side, and whether it is a pass-fail gate or a scored item. Organize the rows in the order a proposal table of contents would follow. This is my compliance checklist, so miss nothing. SOLICITATION: [paste here]
Act as a skeptical capture manager. From the solicitation below, list only the things that could disqualify our bid or get it thrown out: mandatory registrations, certifications, licenses, bonding or insurance minimums, required past performance, mandatory site visits or pre-bid meetings, page limits, format rules, and the exact submission method and deadline. Flag anything a first-time bidder commonly misses. Be blunt. SOLICITATION: [paste here]
Here is the solicitation and a short description of my company below. Give me a go or no-go recommendation with reasoning. Score our fit on scope match, eligibility, deadline feasibility, past performance, and capacity. Tell me the single biggest reason to walk away and the single biggest reason to bid. Do not be a cheerleader. If this is a weak fit, say so plainly. SOLICITATION: [paste here] OUR COMPANY: [paste a few lines here]
Based on the solicitation below, draft a short, professional list of clarifying questions to submit to the contracting officer before the question deadline.
