SECTION 01 — PICK YOUR WORKSPACE
Built for how your company bids.
Two purpose-built workspaces on one platform. Start with the one that matches your role.
FOR GENERAL CONTRACTORS · ESTIMATORS · PRECON TEAMS
Command
The complete public-bid workflow: discover, qualify, de-risk, draft, and submit — from one workspace.
- AI fit scores on every solicitation — no black box
- Risk clauses flagged before you spend estimating hours
- Award history, proposal drafts, bid leveling built in
FOR SPECIALTY SUBCONTRACTORS
Sub-Hub
Opportunities matched to the work your company actually performs — trade, territory, project size, certifications.

- Scope insights and deadline alerts, free to start
SECTION 02 — HOW IT WORKS
From 12,500 portals to a short list
before your first coffee.
Every scored bid links back to the originating agency solicitation — verify every detail yourself.
STEP 1 / DISCOVER
We scan overnight
Full project manuals, specs, and drawing indexes across every federal, state, county, and city portal — not just the one-line notice.
STEP 2 / QUALIFY
Scored to your profile
CSI scope extracted and matched to your trades, license classifications, service area, and bonding capacity. Low-fit work is filtered out.
STEP 3 / DECIDE
You price the winners
Risk clauses flagged, award history attached, official source linked. Your team spends estimating hours only on bids worth winning.
→ The 6:00 AM digest: high-fit bids, deadlines, source links, and the scoring rationale — delivered before the workday starts.
SECTION 03 — INSIDE COMMAND
Three things your bid list can't do.
