Within 5 minutes, you'll see a curated list of federal contracts ranked by your probability to win.

✓Each contract shows a Bid Score (0-100) based on how well it fits your business
✓Higher scores mean stronger alignment with your NAICS, certifications, and location
✓Use the filters to narrow by agency, set-aside type, or contract value

Tip: Focus on contracts scoring 70+ first. These are your highest-probability opportunities.

Found a contract worth pursuing? Save it to your Pipeline to track deadlines and next steps.

✓Click the bookmark icon on any contract to save it
✓Your Pipeline page shows all saved contracts with countdown timers to submission deadlines
✓You'll receive alerts before deadlines expire so you never miss a bid window

Tip: Start with 2-3 contracts to keep things manageable. Quality over quantity wins in federal procurement.

Use the AI Proposal system to create a compliant first draft in minutes instead of days.

✓Open a saved contract and click 'Generate Proposal'
✓GovConFlow reads the solicitation and produces a tailored draft with technical approach, past performance, and compliance matrix sections
✓Export as .docx for final editing in Word or Google Docs

Tip: The AI draft is a starting point, not a final submission. Always review and customize before submitting to the government.
