Still to verify: the source notice, eligibility, deadline, delivery capacity and the unmatched security-assessment capability.

Recorded decision: Review. Confirm eligibility, security coverage and proposal capacity before making a bid decision.

Coverage counts exact terms, not award probability. Scope fit and evidence notes are recorded; neither is independently verified.

The working checklist

A few facts. A clearer next step.

01 The opportunity

Read the current notice and amendments before filling this in.

Use a short, recognizable name for your review.

An HTTPS notice link on sam.gov. The tool does not open, fetch or verify its contents.

Separate terms with commas or new lines. Include only requirements you have read. Leave blank if you have not confirmed them.

Enter the deadline in your device’s local time zone: shown when the tool loads. Convert the notice’s time zone first.

days

Your planning threshold, from 0 to 90 days.

02 Your firm’s fit

Use confirmed facts. “Unknown” is a useful answer.

Separate terms with commas or new lines. Use the same wording as the requirements where accurate. Up to 100 terms, 80 characters each.

Consider set-asides, registrations, contract vehicles, clearances and other notice requirements. This tool cannot establish eligibility.

Consider proposal effort and delivery commitments.

Record notice sections, amendment dates or questions to resolve. Avoid credentials and sensitive personal information.

03 Your decision

The checklist supports your judgment. You make the call.

Explain what drove your decision and any conditions still to resolve.

Your entries stay on this page. No automatic saving, uploads or AI processing.

Built for a focused first pass

A clear record beats a gut feeling.

Bring the source

Read before you rate.

You enter the facts from the notice. Pursuit Row does not fetch opportunities or check for amendments.

See the reasoning

Keep unknowns visible.

Simple checks show what needs attention. Capability matches compare terms, not the substance of your experience.

Own the next step

Decide, then keep the brief.

Record your rationale and export a copy. Nothing is automatically saved when you leave the page.

Make the checklist work for your firm

Need help calibrating your bid profile?

A scoped engagement for small IT consultancy owners and proposal leads who want a repeatable first-pass review. The proposed deliverables are:

  • A capability map: consistent terms, relevant experience references and explicit gaps.
  • A review policy: your preparation-time threshold, capacity questions and escalation rules.
  • A reusable decision brief: evidence prompts and a walkthrough using an agreed public or fictional example.

We agree the exact deliverables, timing and price before work begins. This service does not include live opportunity feeds, proposal writing, eligibility certification or award guarantees.
