3

You decide

Bid or pass, in a minute. When you bid, the Kit and the Full Proposal carry the weight.

  • Every fact points to its page. Check any of them in seconds.
  • We only write to you when a job fits you.

Questions

What owners ask before they start.

What is a Bid Snapshot?+

A one page bid or no bid call on one government solicitation. It says whether the job is worth bidding, what the buyer wants, how they will pick the winner, what the last contract paid, and the traps to watch, with the page number next to every fact. Your first Bid Snapshot is free.

How do small businesses decide which government contracts to bid on?+

Start with fit: does the work match jobs you have already won, and do you hold the status and vehicle the buyer requires? Then read the evaluation section to see how they score, and the past award to see what they paid. Firm Fixed does that reading for you and gives a straight answer on one page.

What is Bid Watch?+

Priority Bid Snapshots every week for $49 a month. We watch every new government job for your business and write a Snapshot on each one that fits, every Monday. Cancel any time.

What is in a Bid Kit?+

Everything you need to bid without missing a rule: a compliance checklist with the page for each requirement, price clues from past awards, the questions worth asking the contracting officer, and a proposal outline with a page budget. Excel and Word files included. $349, in 24 hours, or your money back.

Will you write my government proposal?+

Yes. A Full Proposal is your whole proposal in your name, in Word, with every section the solicitation asks for. One round of changes. You set the price, sign and submit. $1,950, in 3 days.

How do I order?+

Pick what you need under Pricing and pay on a safe Stripe page. You tell us the job when you pay. It must be open on SAM.gov and due at least 3 days out, or 10 days for a Full Proposal. If we can't take it, you get your money back. Your Bid Snapshot is free: ask for it with the short form on this page. Got an email from us? You can also just reply to it.

Can you guarantee a win?+

No. Nobody honest can. We tell you what the job asks for and whether you fit it, so you spend your time on bids you can win.

Where does the information come from?+

Public records: the solicitation and its files on SAM.gov, past awards on USAspending, and business profiles at the SBA. Each fact shows the page or record it came from, so you can check it yourself.

Do you cover federal, state and local contracts?+

Federal government contracts today. State and local will follow. Reply to any email from us or write to hello@firmfixed.com and tell us what you bid on.

The next job that fits you is already posted.
