Who it's for
If you're reading RFPs yourself without a procurement team, ShouldIBid was built for you.
You're bidding on 2–3 RFPs a month. You read them yourself at night. You've spent a week on a bid only to find a disqualifying requirement buried on page 94. You need to know that in minutes, not days.
General contractors · SubcontractorsYou have a team but no procurement specialist. RFPs eat hours that should go to the actual work. Addenda come in at the last minute and nobody catches them. You need a system, not another PDF.
IT vendors · Facilities · Service companiesYou review RFPs for multiple clients. Speed and organization across dozens of opportunities is everything. You can't afford to miss a hard stop or a deadline change buried in an addendum.
Procurement consultants · Active biddersHow it works
From document upload to informed decision — VIN does the reading so you can focus on the bid.
Drop in the base RFP and any addenda. PDF, Word, and Excel supported. VIN reads the full document — not a summary, not a sample.
Before full analysis completes, VIN surfaces hard stops and disqualifiers immediately. Know within seconds if there's a major issue before you invest further.
VIN evaluates scope, insurance, bonding, certifications, deadlines, past performance, set-asides, and more. Three columns: what it says, what it means, what VIN recommends.
VIN surfaces every ambiguity it finds. Select the ones that matter, add your notes, and generate a professional email to send to the agency before the deadline closes.
Add proposal questions and your context. VIN drafts tailored responses grounded in the RFP language and your vendor profile — written for this bid, not a generic template.
VIN gives you the briefing, gaps, and questions. You decide whether to pursue. ShouldIBid never makes a bid or no-bid recommendation — that decision is always yours.
