Frequently Asked Questions

Everything government contractors need to know about AI proposal software

AI proposal software works well for state, local, and education (SLED) contracts including professional services, IT services, consulting, and general services. These RFPs typically follow structured formats that AI can learn from your past successful submissions. The software generates first drafts based on your historical proposals, which you then customize for each specific opportunity.
The AI analyzes your uploaded project documentation and identifies relevant experience for each new RFP. It reformats project descriptions, client references, and outcomes to match the format requested in the solicitation. You review and verify accuracy, but the AI handles the time-consuming work of finding and formatting relevant experience.
Yes. Bidara uses enterprise-grade security including encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, and secure cloud infrastructure. Your proposal content is never shared with other users or used to train public AI models. The platform is suitable for non-classified government contracting work.
Most teams generate their first AI-assisted proposal within hours of signing up. Upload your past proposals, let the AI learn your patterns, then upload a current RFP to generate a draft. There's no lengthy implementation process—you can start seeing value immediately.
ROI comes primarily from time savings and increased bidding capacity. Teams typically save 60-75% of proposal development time, allowing them to respond to 3-4x more opportunities. Winning just one additional contract per year typically provides 50-100x return on the software investment.
No. State, local, and education contracts don't require federal compliance frameworks like FAR, DFARS, or CMMC. This makes SLED an accessible market for contractors who want government revenue without federal compliance overhead. Bidara is designed for this simpler compliance environment.
