# BidSignal Desk

> BidSignal Desk is an RFP research and Go/No-Go briefing service. It finds public-sector RFP, RFI, and bid opportunities for small contractors and IT-services firms, then turns likely matches into short, plain-English Go/No-Go briefs — deadline, scope, eligibility blockers, proposal burden, red flags, and a pursue / watch / avoid recommendation — so a team can decide whether a bid is worth pursuing in about two minutes instead of hours.

## What it is

- **Service:** RFP/bid research and Go/No-Go decision briefing. Not a bid board, not a proposal-writing service.
- **Deliverable:** a one-page Go/No-Go brief per opportunity, in plain English, source-linked to the official public notice. Each brief answers: why it may fit, the real deadline, eligibility blockers, proposal burden, and a Go/Watch/Avoid verdict.
- **Who it is for:** MSPs, cybersecurity consultants, cloud/hosting providers, and IT-services firms; and trade & facilities contractors — HVAC/mechanical, commercial construction, electrical, plumbing, janitorial/custodial, landscaping/grounds, fire protection, and physical security.
- **Coverage:** public federal, state, county, city, school-district, and university bid sources across the United States (initial focus: the US Southeast — GA, FL, NC, SC, TN).

## How it works

1. Build a search profile: service lane, geography, buyer type, registrations, and exclusions.
2. Monitor public bid sources for opportunities that match the profile.
3. Shortlist likely matches — a short list, not a raw feed.
4. Deliver a Go/No-Go brief for each shortlisted opportunity, human-reviewed before it reaches the client.

## Pricing

- **Starter RFP Snapshot:** $300–$500. A two-week custom test for one service lane / region, including up to 2 Go/No-Go memos. The fee credits toward the first month if continued.
- **Monthly Radar Desk:** $1,250/month. Ongoing RFP radar and Go/No-Go briefs after the starter snapshot proves fit. Cancel anytime.

## Common questions

- **Is BidSignal Desk a bid board?** No. It reviews public RFP/RFI opportunities and turns likely matches into short decision briefs, rather than listing every notice.
- **Does it write proposals?** No. It focuses on RFP research, triage, and decision support. Clients keep their own estimating and proposal work.
- **Does it promise contract awards?** No. It provides opportunity research and Go/No-Go briefs; it does not promise awards or provide legal or procurement advice. The client makes the final bid/no-bid decision.
- **What is a Go/No-Go brief?** A one-page summary of an opportunity's fit, deadline, eligibility blockers, proposal burden, red flags, source link, and a pursue/watch/avoid recommendation.
