How it works
From skill to signed purchase order
A 20-minute intake, then RuckBid runs the desk. You approve every response before it goes out.
- 01
Set up
We file your SAM.gov registration, prepare your VetCert application, pick your NAICS codes and write your capability statement.
- 02
Find
Every morning you get the postings you can actually win: your trade, your area, your size, with set-asides and buys under $15,000 first.
- 03
Write
RuckBid drafts the quote or proposal from the solicitation and your profile. A human editor checks it against every requirement.
- 04
File
We submit, email the buyer, track the deadline and collect a past-performance reference after you deliver.
Why now
The rules just got friendlier to small shops.
