Where Falkview is different
Falkview does the work after you decide to bid: reading the whole package, checking compliance, pricing from the wage determination and drafting from your own documents.
- Reads the performance work statement, Sections L and M, attachments and the wage determination, with page references.
- Builds the compliance matrix and a price build-up with the wage determination's labor categories.
- Drafts the technical volume, staffing plan and quality control plan from your past proposals.
- Built around janitorial, grounds and facilities support work; a person on your team always reviews and submits.
Which should you choose?
Choose HigherGov if you mainly need affordable search, alerts and award research, and you write proposals in-house.
Choose Falkview if you already find more bids than you can answer, and the bottleneck is reading, pricing and writing. Many teams use both: a search tool to find bids and Falkview to answer them.
