Every source in one place
SAM.gov, Grants.gov, FPDS, all 50 state portals, plus registration-walled systems like IonWave, Bonfire, and PlanetBids. 2,000+ sources scraped daily so you stop checking portals by hand.

Bid pipeline + export
Track every pursuit through a 7-stage pipeline from new match to won/lost, and export a Shipley-formatted proposal outline to PDF or DOCX.
RFP software for small businesses
Enterprise government-intelligence platforms like GovWin IQ cost $15,000-$25,000 a year — priced for primes with a dedicated capture team, not a small business owner who wears ten hats. BidSparq was built for the other 99%.
The contractors who grow aren't the ones who bid the most — they're the ones who bid the right ones. BidSparq's AI scores every opportunity against your size standard, set-aside eligibility (8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB), and capabilities, so a two-person shop can compete like it has a research department.
- ✓Free tier to start — no credit card, no sales call.
- ✓Set-aside filtering so you see the contracts reserved for firms your size.
- ✓Win-probability scoring so you stop wasting weeks on unwinnable bids.
- ✓A fraction of GovWin's price, with AI the enterprise tools don't have.

- Deep document reading — our AI downloads and reads full solicitation PDFs, attachments, and scope-of-work documents to understand what each RFP actually requires.
- Personalized AI scoring — each RFP gets a Match Score (0–100) based on how well it aligns with your specific capabilities, certifications, and past performance.

RFP software FAQ
What is RFP software?
RFP software helps businesses find, evaluate, and respond to Requests for Proposals. On the discovery side (where BidSparq operates), it aggregates solicitations from thousands of government portals, scores each one against your business profile, and surfaces the opportunities you're most likely to win. On the response side, RFP software helps teams assemble compliant proposals faster. BidSparq covers discovery, qualification (go/no-go scoring), compliance-checklist extraction, and proposal-outline generation.
What is the best RFP software for small businesses?
The best RFP software for a small business is one that's affordable and tells you which bids you can actually win — rather than dumping thousands of irrelevant solicitations on you. Enterprise tools like GovWin IQ cost $15,000-$25,000/yr, which is out of reach for most small firms. BidSparq was built specifically for small and mid-sized contractors: it monitors 2,000+ sources, scores every RFP against your capabilities with AI, and starts with a free 14-day trial.
How much does RFP software cost?
Pricing ranges widely. Enterprise government-intelligence platforms like GovWin IQ run $15,000-$25,000 per year. Title-only search tools like BidNet are roughly $2,000/yr. BidSparq offers a free tier, Pro at $99/mo, and Pro Max at $149/mo (with a 20% annual discount) — a fraction of enterprise pricing while including AI scoring, compliance extraction, and competitive intelligence.
What's the difference between RFP discovery software and RFP response software?
RFP discovery software (BidSparq) finds the right opportunities: it aggregates solicitations from many sources and helps you decide which to pursue. RFP response software (tools like Loopio or Responsive) helps you write the proposal once you've decided to bid, often using a content library of reusable answers. BidSparq focuses on discovery and qualification, and generates a proposal outline to hand off to your writing process.
Does BidSparq work for non-government RFPs?
BidSparq's source coverage is focused on government and public-sector procurement — federal, state, local, K-12, higher education, transit, and healthcare. That's where the fragmentation problem is worst and where AI scoring adds the most value. If your pipeline is primarily commercial enterprise RFPs, BidSparq's discovery layer will be less relevant, though the qualification and compliance tooling still apply to any solicitation you import.
Can RFP software tell me which bids I can actually win?
Yes — that's the core of BidSparq. Every opportunity gets a 0-100 score combining a Shipley-style win-probability (Pwin) calculation with a capability-fit assessment against your NAICS codes, certifications, set-aside eligibility, geography, and past performance. The score comes with a plain-English explanation and a should-I-bid verdict, so you focus your proposal time on winnable work.
