Small firms lose winnable contracts before they even start writing
30 hours per response
Solicitations are long, mandatory requirements are buried across appendices, and nobody on the team can spare the time.
Consultants cost thousands
Proposal consultants and enterprise software are priced for companies with dedicated proposal departments.
Generic AI invents numbers
Chatbots can paraphrase an RFP. They cannot ground a bid in real Rhode Island award history — and inventing a price is worse than walking away.
The BidPilot difference
A Rhode Island award catalogue — real retrospective dollars, cited sources
We assembled a curated database of public RI awards and bid tabs so Readiness packages can propose an advisory bid range from comparable work — not a model hallucinating a number. Every comp links to its public source. You still own the price you submit.
Spans Narragansett, Westerly, Warwick, East Providence, RIDOT, and growing. Illustrative public rows below — open any source URL to verify.
| Buyer | Award | Amount | Awardee | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Town of Narragansett | Fire Station 2 Improvements | $1,959,144 | Martone Service Co. Inc. | Public record |
| City of Warwick | Scott Air-Pak X3 Pro SCBA | $718,200 | Municipal Emergency Services | Public record |
| City of East Providence | Pierce Field Police Substation | $595,200 | Dubon Masonry Construction LLC | Public record |

Advisory decision support only — not a calibrated winning-bid predictor and not a guarantee of award. Thin coverage yields lower confidence instead of invented prices.

Frequently asked questions
When do I pay, and what am I buying?
Start free: paste the RFP and get a structured snapshot plus top packaging risks. Unlock Bid/No-Bid ($99) for go/no-go + matrix, or Readiness ($199 founding) for draft + RI catalogue bid amount — on that same job, no re-upload. You still submit the bid.
Does BidPilot guarantee I win the contract?
No. BidPilot does not promise contract awards. It reduces the cost of deciding whether to bid and preparing a compliant, evidence-grounded package. Bid scores and proposed bid amounts are decision support, not calibrated predictors of award.
What is the RI award catalogue?
BidPilot’s Rhode Island public-award catalogue — curated winning bids and bid-tab amounts with source links — powers advisory proposed bid amounts on Readiness packages. Each estimate cites the catalogue rows and their public source URLs so you can verify the comps yourself.
Where does the proposed bid amount come from?
On Readiness and Complete, BidPilot retrieves comparable awards from its curated RI award catalogue (511+ verified dollar amounts spanning Narragansett, Westerly, Warwick, East Providence, RIDOT, and growing) and Gemini proposes an advisory low/mid/high with each comp’s source URL. Thin catalogues yield lower confidence — not invented prices. You own the price you submit.
Will the AI invent qualifications my company doesn't have?
No. Drafts use only company evidence you have explicitly approved. Missing facts become visible placeholders. A separate verification agent flags unsupported claims.
Does BidPilot submit the bid for me?
No. You retain control of pricing, legal certifications, binding representations, and final submission. BidPilot prepares the package; you approve and submit it.
What happens to my documents?
Files are stored privately with organization-level isolation, are never used to train models, and can be deleted on request. See the Trust & safety page for details.
How fast is delivery?
Bid/no-bid reports target 4 hours, the readiness package 48 hours, and complete drafts 3–5 business days. Automated delivery is often faster once your RFP is uploaded.
