Question 1

What is GovBidIQ?

Accepted Answer

GovBidIQ is an AI-powered government contract intelligence platform. It helps contractors make faster, more disciplined bid/no-bid decisions, score prospects, and read opportunities the way a senior capture manager would.

Question 2

Who should use it?

Accepted Answer

Federal contractors who pursue more opportunities than they can humanly qualify — small businesses, set-aside firms (SDVOSB / 8(a) / WOSB / HUBZone), primes, subs, capture and proposal teams, and consultants.

Question 3

Is it for primes or subcontractors?

Accepted Answer

Both. Primes use it for pipeline grooming and competitive landscape. Subs use it to profile target primes and qualify teaming opportunities.

Question 4

Can SDVOSBs use it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SDVOSB-specific signals — DoD/VA set-aside utilization, sole-source candidates, incumbent indicators — are first-class in the intelligence report.

Question 5

Can 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone, and other small businesses use it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each set-aside has dedicated fit signals and recommended strategy. See the Use Cases page.

Question 6

How does it help with Go/No-Go decisions?

Accepted Answer

A structured 100-point intelligence report with priority band (Immediate / This Week / This Month / Nurture), Top 5 reasons to pursue, Top 3 risks, and a recommended next action.

Question 7

How does it help with competitive intelligence?

Accepted Answer

Incumbent indicators, recompete signals, transition risk, and probable-incumbent-advantage scoring are part of every report.

Question 8

Does it replace a proposal writer?

Accepted Answer

No. It informs decisions before and during capture. Writing is still a human craft; we surface the evaluation risks your proposal needs to address.

Question 9

Does it replace a capture manager?

Accepted Answer

No. It augments capture by automating opportunity qualification and pipeline triage. Your capture manager keeps the relationships and the strategy.

Question 10

What happens after I become a customer?

Accepted Answer

You get a customer dashboard (Phase 3, coming soon), saved analyses, share links you can send to your team, and a customer-side AI copilot scoped to your own reports.

Question 11

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Customer reports are accessible only via your share token today, and via your authenticated customer account in V2 Phase 3. No customer data is exposed on this public site.

Question 12

What can public visitors access?

Accepted Answer

Marketing pages, the product tour, the learning center, a sample report (using synthetic data), FAQs, pricing, and the public AI assistant.

Question 13

What can customers access?

Accepted Answer

Their own analyses, share links, saved reports, and (in V2) a customer-side AI copilot scoped to their data.

Question 14

What can admins access?

Accepted Answer

Internal CRM, prospect intelligence, lifecycle stages, and team-management tools. Admin access is restricted to staff accounts via Google OAuth + role permissions.
