How does a pursuit work with Govacha?
Create your free account, then follow the same path we walk with clients. Software keeps the work in one place. Consulting helps you decide and execute.
1. Get contract ready
Company setup, an active SAM.gov registration, the certifications the work requires, a website that matches the registration, and a capability statement. State and local work has its own vendor portals. We help you get this foundation in place.
2. Find contracts to bid
Search for notices that match the work you can perform. Save them in the pipeline. A title is a hint. The solicitation is the requirement.
3. Discuss strategy and pricing
This is the bid or no-bid. We look at the scope, your past performance, and what the notice requires. If it is a fit, we agree on the strategy and the price. If it is not, we pass and keep moving.
4. Draft the proposal
Write the response from that strategy. GovChat can help you read and draft. A person still checks the draft against the notice.
5. Finalize and submit the bid
Finish the file and send it the way the notice requires. Keep a record of what went out.
6. Repeat until you reach your goals
Run the same path on the next notice. The home page shows the short version. Industry pages under Solutions describe how the notices differ.
The pipeline stages follow this path: a new contract, the plan to respond, the proposal, the final draft, and the submission.
