The problem

Manual bid monitoring costs you hours and wins you nothing.

Government contracting is a volume game. The contractors who win consistently are the ones who see every relevant bid, score it fast, and submit a complete package before the deadline. Manual is not competitive.

🕐

SAM.gov requires hours of manual review

Logging into SAM.gov, setting keyword searches, downloading attachments, reading solicitations, and assessing fit takes 3–5 hours per week for a contractor tracking even 10 active bids. That time comes out of your field hours.

APEX fix: Fully automated daily pulls, scored against your profile, with Telegram alert in under 1 hour of posting.
📄

Most competitors offer alerts, not proposals

BidPrime and similar services send you links. That's it. You still have to read the RFP, write the narrative, price the CSV, compile the checklist, and format the DOCX. APEX writes the full proposal package for you.

APEX fix: Submission-ready DOCX on your letterhead, benchmark-priced CSV, compliance checklist, and gotcha flags — in 48 hours.
🔍

Generic fit scoring misses the right bids

Keyword-based bid alerts match on terms like "electrical" or "concrete" — but they can't tell if your Class B license qualifies for a specific NAICS 238990 general contractor requirement or if prevailing wage applies.

APEX fix: Weighted scoring vs. your CSLB license classification and awarded contract history, not just keywords.
How it works

From raw government posting to submitted proposal.

APEX handles the entire discovery-to-draft pipeline. Your only job is to review, sign, and submit.

Step 01

Daily portal scan

APEX pulls every new posting from SAM.gov (federal, nationwide) and state procurement portals (California fully live; all other states added within 7 days of signup at no extra charge).

Step 02

Weighted fit scoring

Each bid is scored against your NAICS codes, license classification, geographic service area, bonding capacity, and past-performance record. You see a 0–100 fit score before you read a single page of the RFP.

Step 03

Telegram alert in under 1 hour

High-scoring bids trigger an immediate Telegram notification with the solicitation title, agency, deadline, fit score, and a direct link. All attachments are pre-downloaded. No login to SAM.gov required.

Step 04

Proposal package in 48 hours

You flag the bid. APEX delivers: technical narrative, benchmark-priced CSV, compliance checklist, submission-ready DOCX on your letterhead, past-performance exhibit, and gotcha flags — in 48 hours or that proposal is free.

FAQ

Questions contractors ask about AI bid scanning.

How does an AI bid scanner work for contractors?

APEX Bid Scanner runs automated daily pulls from SAM.gov (all federal opportunities nationwide) and state procurement portals (California fully live, all other states added within 7 days of signup). Each bid is processed through a fit-scoring engine that compares the solicitation's NAICS code, scope of work, bonding requirements, and license prerequisites against your contractor profile. Bids scoring above your minimum threshold trigger a Telegram alert within 1 hour of posting, with a direct link to the solicitation and all attachments pre-downloaded. You flag which bids you want drafted, and APEX delivers a submission-ready proposal package within 48 hours.

How is APEX Bid Scanner different from SAM.gov?

SAM.gov is a raw database — it requires you to manually log in daily, set keyword searches, download attachments, read solicitations, and assess fit yourself. That process takes hours per week for a contractor tracking even 10 active bids. APEX automates the entire discovery-to-draft pipeline: it pulls every relevant bid automatically, scores it against your specific license classification and capabilities (not just keywords), delivers the alert to your Telegram in under an hour, downloads all attachments, and writes the proposal. You invest 15 minutes reviewing the draft, not 4 hours reading RFPs.

What contractor license types does APEX support?

Bid monitoring supports all NAICS codes for all contractors. Proposal drafting is strongest for construction and facilities trades: NAICS 238 (specialty trades — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, concrete), 237 (heavy and civil engineering construction), 561 (building services — janitorial, landscaping, facility maintenance), and 484 (trucking and hauling). For California contractors, the scoring model understands CSLB license classifications: A (general engineering), B (general building), C-10 (electrical), C-20 (HVAC), C-36 (plumbing), C-39 (roofing), C-8 (concrete), and others.

How fast does APEX write a government proposal?

Standard turnaround is 48 hours from the moment you flag a bid in your dashboard. Pro and Enterprise clients receive priority scheduling. Every proposal includes a technical narrative with regulatory citations (NFPA, OSHA, Caltrans, ADA as applicable), a benchmark-priced line-item CSV built from public awarded bid tabulations, a compliance checklist, a submission-ready DOCX formatted on your letterhead, a past-performance exhibit, and a gotcha flags section highlighting unusual clauses such as liquidated damages or prevailing wage triggers. If the agency deadline is under 48 hours when you flag the bid, contact APEX immediately for a rush review.

Is there a free trial for the APEX Bid Scanner?

Yes. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial: full bid monitoring with daily scans, fit scores, Telegram alerts, and solicitation links — plus one matched sample proposal pulled from the APEX archive and matched to your NAICS at signup. The sample shows you the actual proposal output before you pay a dollar. If you upgrade to a paid plan before the trial ends, that sample counts toward your first month's included proposals. First proposal money-back guarantee if APEX misses the agency submission deadline.
