Awardly Edge
You have read this solicitation. So has everyone bidding.
What decides the bid is rarely inside any one document — it is between them. An amendment moving a date the cover page still shows. An attachment handing you a cost the pricing section never mentions. We hold every document open at once and tell you what they say together, so you are not the bidder who finds out late.
The contract is coming up. The last competition is on the record.
There is no solicitation yet — that is what a recompete is. What exists is the award record, and it says more than most bidders read out of it: who holds this, what they are paid, how this office buys this work, and what the last competition asked for.
Read a real Edge report before you buy PDF, 628 KB. A delivered report on a public pursuit, published with permission, the buyer’s identity removed. The whole report — not an extract.
One missed deadline costs you the bid you spent forty hours writing. On a USACE lakes maintenance package: three different proposal deadlines, and three different deadlines for questions. Both cover pages show bid opening on 03 August — already gone. Read that and you never write the proposal. Read the base solicitation and you work to 04 September, which Amendment 1 had already replaced with 08 September.
You have already spent more than $195 of your own time on this pursuit. This is what makes sure that time buys you something.
What you get
One report on this solicitation, as a PDF, to the email you give us. It answers seven things:
- Who holds it now, and what it has gone for — know who you are up against, and what the work is worth, before you commit forty hours.
- How you score against this — where you are strong, where you are short, and whether it is worth bidding at all.
- The dates that matter — the ones in the amendments, not the ones on the cover page.
- Whether you can bid — set-aside, size standard, licenses, clearances, settled on day one rather than day nine.
- What your proposal will be scored on — write to what the evaluator actually reads.
- Who you could team with — firms already working at this office, named.
- The clauses that decide a bid — the unpriced obligations, the response windows, the costs an attachment adds that the pricing section never mentions.
Every figure carries its own source, so you can check any number yourself. Where we could not establish something the report says so — so you never mistake a gap in the record for a finding about the pursuit.
One report on this contract, as a PDF, sent to the email you give us. It covers who holds it now, what they are paid, how this office buys this work, and what the last competition asked for. Every figure carries its own source, and where we could not establish something the report says so rather than filling the gap.
Your report arrives within one business day of receiving your documents. That clock starts when your documents arrive, not when you order. Every report is reviewed by a proposal professional before it is sent, and that review is inside the one business day. Within five minutes of their arrival we email you the exact time it is due.
There is no solicitation to measure on a recompete, so we do not put a clock on it. We email you when the report is ready.
What it costs
We refund in full if we cannot read the solicitation and its attachments — either because you do not send them, or because what arrives cannot be opened. That is the only refund condition: a delivered report is not refundable, and one that reads the documents and finds little is still the report.
What happens after you pay
- You pay. You get a report code on screen and in an email.
- We already have your documents. You sent them before paying, and we read them first — that is what the check above was for.
- You send us the prior solicitation. There is nothing to fetch on a recompete — SAM stops serving notices after about a year, and the prior solicitation is normally older than that, so it is usually still obtainable from the contracting officer or your own files rather than online. If you cannot get it, say so and the report is built from the award record alone, which is a smaller report and says so.
- We tell you when it will land — within five minutes — then read the package in full and write the report.
- We read the award record and write the report. Every figure is traced to a source and checked before it ships, and a person decides what reaches the page.
- It arrives as a PDF in your inbox — and the code tracks it until it does.
$195 is an introductory rate. It will rise as the product proves itself.
It applies to this report, not to you forever. Buying one now does not hold the price for the next.
How do I find my report again? I do not have an account.
Your report code. It appears on screen the moment you pay and in your confirmation email, and it opens a page showing where your report stands. The PDF is emailed to you as well, so in the ordinary case you never go looking. No account, no password — lose the code and reply to that email; we will find the order.
Payment is handled by Stripe — we never see your card.
