Our story

Federal contracting shouldn't be a secret club.

The U.S. government is the biggest buyer in the world. Every year it sets aside hundreds of billions of dollars specifically for small businesses — and most of the people who could actually do the work never even hear about the contracts. We built BidWorks to change that.

The problem

The system rewards people who already know the system.

Solicitations are 80+ pages of legal language. Pricing requires you to know what historical awards looked like. Compliance means tracking dozens of FAR clauses you've never heard of. By the time a first-time bidder figures it all out, the deadline has passed.

Meanwhile, the same handful of large vendors win the same contracts on repeat — not because their work is better, but because they have proposal teams that read every line.

The fix

Give every small business the same proposal team.

BidWorks reads every solicitation the moment it's posted, scores it against your business in plain English, drafts the proposal volumes, maps every compliance clause, prices the bid using what's actually won similar work, and lines up suppliers if you need them.

You stay the human in the loop — review, edit, sign, submit. The AI does the part that used to take a six-figure proposal manager three weeks.

What we believe

Principles we won't break.

Plain English, always

If a customer can't understand why an opportunity scored 87, we haven't done our job. No acronym soup.

Human-in-the-loop

We generate drafts. You're the legal offeror on every bid. That line never moves.

Ethically scoped

Intelligence Community work is off-platform. We make it easy for users to opt out of agencies they shouldn't bid on.

Who builds this

A product of Altura.

We're a small team obsessed with using AI to flatten access to opportunities that used to require expensive expertise. BidWorks is our bet that the next generation of small business owners will win government work the same way they win everything else — with great software in their corner.
