Federal bid compliance, automated.

Winning federal work isn’t just about price — it’s about submitting a bid package that is compliant, complete, and defensible. Agencies and primes expect contractors to demonstrate compliance with labor standards, contractor eligibility, and contract clauses. Missing a wage determination, overlooking an exclusion check, or failing to flow down a FAR clause can delay award or disqualify your bid entirely. BidForge is built to reduce that risk by automating the checks that federal contractors do every day.

Davis-Bacon prevailing wage checks

Davis-Bacon compliance requires you to pay laborers and mechanics at or above the prevailing wage rates established by the Department of Labor for the project’s location and scope. In practice, estimators must identify the right wage determination, interpret classifications, and ensure labor line items align with minimum rates and fringes. BidForge helps you validate your labor assumptions against the current determinations so you can spot gaps early — before your proposal goes out the door.

SAM exclusion verification

Before you bid, you need to confirm your firm and key subcontractors are eligible to participate in federal awards. SAM exclusions are a high-risk area in subcontractor management: the eligibility of your team matters. BidForge supports a workflow for checking SAM status, tracking results, and documenting due diligence so you can show that you verified eligibility prior to submission.

FAR / DFARS clause extraction and flow-downs

Federal contracts contain many clauses that affect performance, reporting, and subcontract requirements. Many compliance issues happen when clauses are missed or not flowed down to subs. BidForge extracts FAR/DFARS language from solicitations, summarizes what matters, and helps you package the right compliance artifacts alongside your bid. Whether you’re responding as a prime or a trade subcontractor under a prime, having clauses organized and mapped to actions reduces rework and prevents late-stage surprises.

Bid package readiness

Compliance isn’t only legal language — it’s operational readiness. BidForge is designed for trade contractors who need to move fast: find opportunities, validate compliance, generate compliant narratives, and organize the final bid package. With a single workflow, you can track key checks (prevailing wages, exclusions, bonds, and clauses), document the result, and export a bid package that is consistent across opportunities.

Common compliance checks BidForge supports

• Prevailing wage validation (Davis-Bacon)
• Entity eligibility checks (SAM exclusions)
• FAR/DFARS clause parsing and summaries
• Bid bond requirements tracking
