The Game Changer
Drowning in "New solicitations" But None Actually Fits?
You are not alone. Every portal you're registered on sends its own alerts, on its own schedule, behind its own login. What's actually winnable is buried in notifications you stopped opening months ago.
FindBids collapses all of it into one daily email. Every solicitation is read scored against your license class, bonding capacity, and past work, then turned into a compliance checklist and a draft you can edit.
How is FindBids different from NAICS-based bid tools?
FindBids matches on meaning, not codes. Legacy tools filter bids by NAICS codes and keyword strings, so they miss opportunities worded differently than your saved searches and flood you with irrelevant listings. FindBids uses vector semantic matching to compare the actual meaning of each solicitation against what your business does, then analyzes the full document for fit and risk. Teams typically find 3x more relevant opportunities than with keyword or NAICS filtering.
How does the daily email feed work?
FindBids monitors 400+ California state, county, city, and agency portals continuously and delivers every matched opportunity in one ranked morning email, ordered by fit and urgency, so your team reviews a single feed instead of dozens of portals. Setup takes about 10 minutes: describe your business in plain language, add certifications and service area, and your first digest arrives the next morning.
What is the compliance matrix check?
FindBids extracts every requirement from the solicitation, including forms, certifications, formatting rules, and submission steps, into a compliance matrix and checks your draft against it as you write. You see exactly what is missing before you submit, so a strong response does not get disqualified on a technicality.
Can FindBids draft my capability statement and RFP responses?
Yes. FindBids drafts a general capability statement from your business profile, then customizes it for each bid you pursue. For RFP responses (beta), it drafts a first pass structured to the solicitation's actual requirements and checked against the compliance matrix. You review, refine, and submit, so you begin from a working draft rather than a blank page.
Does FindBids read the actual solicitation documents?
Yes. FindBids AI agents analyze the full text of each solicitation, scope, requirements, set-asides, and deadlines, not just the title and category. That document-level analysis is how it scores true fit, builds the compliance matrix for your response, and drafts your first pass, rather than matching on a NAICS code alone.
How is FindBids different from manual portal searching?
FindBids replaces hours of manual scanning with a ranked daily feed. It analyzes every listing across 400+ procurement portals, scores each opportunity against your business profile using semantic matching, and surfaces only the contracts worth your proposal effort, ranked by fit, urgency, and win potential. Most teams reduce weekly search time from 10+ hours to under 30 minutes.
Which contract sources are included?
Every plan includes California contracts across 400+ state, county, and city portals, refreshed daily. Higher plans add AI-drafted RFP responses, additional seats, and multi-client workspaces for consultants and agencies.
Is there a free trial, and what does it cost after?
Yes. Every plan starts with a free 3-day trial. We only bill on the third day, so you can cancel anytime before then and you won't be charged. After the trial, plans start at $150/month. Higher plans add AI-drafted RFP responses, additional seats, and multi-client workspaces for consultants and agencies.
Can consultants manage bids for multiple clients?
Yes. Consultants and agencies can run a separate workspace for each client from a single account. Every client gets their own profile, AI matching, and fit scoring, and you can switch between them in a click. See how FindBids works for consultants.
What if we're new to government bidding?
FindBids is built for teams that already bid on government work. If you're just getting started, we've collected free guides on certifications, portal walkthroughs, and preparing your first bid. Start with the new-to-bidding guide.
See opportunities 3-36 months before the solicitation date.
