Government work, found and filled in for you.

The RFPs that fit what you build, from every agency in the US and Canada, filled in from your last answers.

Are you leaving government revenue on the table?

  • Cities, counties, school districts and transit agencies buy software, hardware and robotics every year. Most of it never shows up anywhere your team looks.
  • Each agency posts RFPs on its own portal, and finding them is a job nobody on your team has.
  • When you do find one, it asks for the same company profile, insurance and references as the last one, in a different form.
  • By the time the RFP is public, another vendor has often been talking to the agency for months.
From the board meeting to the filled review, with example data.

Every RFP that fits what you build.

Describe your product in a sentence. Capveon checks federal, state and local agencies, school districts and transit authorities, including the ones that only post on their own portal, and brings back the RFPs that fit, with the reason each one fits.

How Discover works

Fill in what's new. Capveon remembers the rest.

Each RFP you go after becomes a checklist you click through. Capveon fills in every item it can from your templates and past responses: company details, insurance, references, security answers and pricing. You accept what's right and answer what's new, and the next RFP already has it.

How Pursuits works

Each answer filled in from a template or your last response. Example data.

Hear about it before the RFP.

A city council approves a budget line for permitting software. A transit board votes to pilot a new fare system. Signals reads meetings, budgets and capital plans and shows you the agency, the line and the date, months before the RFP, while there's still time to talk to the buyer.

How Signals works

Ask anything about any RFP.

Ask answers questions across every RFP and agency, with a source for each answer, and does whole jobs: compare two agencies, list every county budgeting for what you sell, draft a section from your past proposals. Your team edits it and sends it.

How Ask works

Account planning, from the public record. Who's buying, from whom, and who to call.

Most public-sector teams buy bids from one vendor, spend from another and contacts from a third, then join them in a spreadsheet. Capveon joins them at the agency, and the accounts worth working go to HubSpot or Salesforce.

What’s in the record

Marlow County, example data.

  • Open bids

    Federal, state and local solicitations, from portals and agency websites, with every addendum.

    Discover finds the RFPs that fit what you build, including the ones a county posts only on its own site.

    Discover

  • Early signals

    Meeting agendas, minutes and video, capital plans, budgets, funding lists and contracts about to expire.

    Signals shows you the board vote or budget line behind a purchase, while there's still time to meet the buyer.

    Signals

  • Spend

    Purchase orders, payments and federal orders, line by line: who bought what, from whom, at what unit price.

    Ask can tell you what an agency already buys, from whom and for how much, so you know who you'd replace.

    Ask

  • Awards

    Who won, for how much and when the contract ends, with the bid results where the agency posts them.

    Agencies shows who holds the contract today and when it ends, so you can call before it's renewed.

    Agencies

  • People

    The buyers, engineers, clerks and board members named in bids, minutes and agency staff pages.

    Agencies shows who owns the purchase and how to reach them: their own line where it's published, the department where it isn't.

  • Documents

    Specifications, drawings, addenda, minutes and budgets, read in full.

    Reviews pulls the security, insurance and co-op terms out of each RFP before anyone writes a word.

Questions

We already have a public-sector team. Is this for us?

Yes. A team that already sells to government uses Capveon to cover more agencies without more people: every SLED RFP in its territories in one list, responses filled in from the team's own answers, and qualified RFPs sent to Salesforce or HubSpot.

Do we need a contract vehicle to sell to government?

Not to start. Most state and local agencies buy through their own bids and quotes, and small purchases often need no formal bid at all. Cooperative contracts and federal schedules help later, once you know which agencies buy from you.

How long do government sales cycles take?

Longer than a commercial sale. In our experience it's often a year or more from the meeting where a purchase first comes up to a signed contract, and Gartner's survey of technology buyers found the public sector has the longest buying cycle of any industry. That's why hearing about a purchase early matters. Once an RFP posts, you usually get a few weeks to respond.

What are piggyback and cooperative contracts?

A cooperative contract is one an agency or purchasing group has already bid, which other agencies can buy from without running their own bid. Piggybacking is buying from another agency's contract the same way. Win one and many more buyers can use it. Capveon notes when an RFP allows it.

What about security reviews?

Expect one for anything that touches agency data. Agencies ask for security questionnaires and insurance, and for cloud software sometimes FedRAMP or GovRAMP, which used to be called StateRAMP. Capveon pulls those requirements out of each RFP so you know before you start writing, and your answers are kept for the next one.

Do we need to talk to sales?

No. Start the trial online, or enter your website to see your first accounts.
