Whether you sell software to the Air Force, nuts and bolts to DLA, or moonshots to DARPA, we’ll save you hundreds of hours, keep a technicality from ever taking you out, and take bidding off your mind until it’s time to hit send.
You make quotes for DLA. New requests come in daily, paperwork slows down each submission, and you’re tired of RFQs being modified or withdrawn on a whim.
We’ll save you hundreds of hours, keep a technicality from ever taking you out, and take quoting off your mind until it’s time to hit submit.
Requests for quotes or information. Task orders. SBIR topics. Broad agency announcements. Prime contractors looking for small-business teammates. The buyers publish exactly what they need, in writing, on a schedule: the work isn’t hidden, it’s posted. Reading it all takes a special kind of person. Answering one well takes a week. You have neither to spare.
Buyers publish exactly what they need, but watching the board takes a special kind of person, and they’re spending hours that nobody has spare. Even worse, the hours a quote takes can vanish with a cancellation, leaving many to decide watching DIBBS gives a poor ROI.
SAM.gov alone posts thousands of notices a week. DoD posts new SBIR topics the first Wednesday of every month. The stream never stops.
DLA manages roughly 500,000 items at any given time, and the small-buy RFQs on them are posted every business day. The stream never stops.
Nothing slips past. We monitor every board that matters and bring you the fits.
Nothing slips past. We check the board every business day, and fitting RFQs come back as finished quotes.
Your buyers email you, or your board only shows itself to you. Forward it. We take it from there.
A buyer who knows your shop emails you an RFQ, or you pick your own from the board. Forward it. We take it from there.
The story below tells itself your way.
In discovery we learn what you sell, what you have won, and what you will never bid. Then every posting is scored against your fit: high fits start building, maybes arrive as a one-line brief, noise dies silently. Prime portals where you are registered are checked weekly as your authorized user, and the rare board only you can open (a BPA-restricted pool, say) you forward while we watch everything else. Nothing that fits you slips past unseen, and nothing gets dropped. You get one calm weekly email instead of twenty tabs. Reply “draft these three” and it is moving.
In discovery we learn your line card: your FSCs, your NSNs, your approved-source positions, what you will never quote. Then every posting is scored against your fit, and DIBBS is checked every business day, because automated awards can land in three. From there it runs how you set it at onboarding: finished quotes arrive automatically, ready to submit, or we recommend and you approve before we build. Nothing that fits you slips past unseen, and cancellations stop mattering, because your hours were never in them.
Your buyers already know you. The solicitation arrives by email from the contracting officer, or sits on a BPA-restricted board only you can see. You know your bandwidth and you know your targets; you choose what we answer. Forward it exactly as it arrived, attachments and all. That forward is the entire go decision: nothing builds without it, and nothing else is asked of you. No portals to learn, no logins to hand over, nothing to install.
Your buyers already know you. An acquisition specialist emails you directly about an item they know you carry, or you spot the RFQ yourself. You know your bandwidth and you know your parts; you choose what we quote. Forward it exactly as it arrived, attachments and all. That forward is the entire go decision: nothing builds without it, and nothing else is asked of you.
Your inbox is the board. The forward is the go.
This is the week you get back. The solicitation is taken apart line by line and every volume is assembled from your documents: past performance, monthly reports, catalogs, bios. Not a template, not filler, and never a blank page. The parts change with the vehicle; the rigor never does. And a package with an open compliance item cannot leave the gate. A technicality never takes you out.
These are the hours you get back, on every single RFQ. The solicitation is taken apart line by line and the packet is assembled from your documents: mill certs, conformance certificates, drawings, tech data. Not a template, not filler, and never a blank page. One wrong fill-in can kill an otherwise winning quote, so a package with an open compliance item cannot leave the gate. A technicality never takes you out.
Constant across all three: 178 mapped tasks, 130+ checks before anything reaches you, and every factual claim traced to a document in your folder. And when the government amends the solicitation mid-pursuit, forward it: everything the change touches is rebuilt to the new terms, required acknowledgment included.
We own the response, and you decide where the finish line is. For most clients, most of the time, it is the very end: a finished package, ready to review and submit. Want pricing left blank for you or a specific person? We build the space and route it. Several people each adding a piece? We coordinate every one of them. Controlled data we cannot touch, so your stakeholder takes that handoff into a space already built. However far you want it carried, everything up to your finish line is off your plate and off your mind. We own it.
Wherever you set the finish line, everything before it is already ours: the reading, the mapping, the drafting, the pricing within your rules, the formatting, the checking.
The package arrives submission-ready with a plain summary: what passed, what we flagged, any remaining steps, and the deadline with its timezone. Instead of days of grinding work, you give a few minutes of judgment and submit.
The finished quote is emailed to you or your submitter, entry-ready, with a plain summary: what passed, what we flagged, the exact fields, and the deadline with its timezone. You give a minute of judgment and submit it in DIBBS.
Every finished response is paired with its solicitation and filed in your folder. Every correction becomes a standing rule the machine never forgets. When an agency offers debrief feedback, it is harvested and wired into the next attempt. An incumbent’s biggest advantage isn’t talent, it’s their library. Gesso Federal builds your library for you.
Every finished packet is filed by NSN. DLA cancels and re-solicits constantly, sometimes the same item within days; your packet is already on file, so the rebid starts nearly finished and you verify an item once a year, not fifteen times. An incumbent’s biggest advantage isn’t talent, it’s their library. Gesso Federal builds your library for you.
We don’t ask you to trust us until you’ve seen and approved your first finished response, built from a real solicitation. Two ways in, both risk-free, both at a Founding Client rate locked for the life of our partnership:
