The govcon intelligence stack. Free to start.
BIDS covers the capture stack the enterprise platforms sell — matched opportunities, forecasts, award and recompete intelligence, teaming and competitor visibility — at small-business pricing. And it adds tools that help you get your profile onto the official portal: Pre-Fill and the BIDS Agent extension.

Competitor pricing varies by package and is frequently quote-only. All trademarks belong to their respective owners. BIDS is not affiliated with Deltek, GovTribe, or Bloomberg Government.
Built for the 99%
Enterprise platforms are priced for companies with BD departments. BIDS gives owner-operators and small capture teams the same signal without the five-figure line item.

Common questions
Can BIDS really replace a GovWin or GovTribe subscription?
For most small businesses, yes: opportunity discovery, matching, forecasts, award and recompete intelligence, teaming, and pipeline tracking are all included. Very large BD teams with deep analyst-report needs may still want an enterprise tool alongside.
What does BIDS have that the incumbents don’t?
Agent-tier tools that help you act: Opportunity Briefs, outreach drafts, and the BIDS Agent browser extension that auto-fills forms from your profile. You always click Submit yourself. Few enterprise platforms package that workflow at this price.
Is there a catch to the free tier?
No. Free covers discovery, matching, and a weekly digest indefinitely. $5/mo adds real-time alerts and award intelligence; $19/mo adds the Agent. Month to month, cancel anytime.
