Total Optim Bid eliminates the searching, sorting, and subscription fees. Our team acts as your dedicated bid research department, monitoring federal and local sources nationwide and delivering only the opportunities matched to your business profile. You get curated intelligence, not information overload. We help you focus on winning, not searching.

What sets Total Optim Bid apart is how easy they make it to find and match with relevant RFPs. Their platform is intuitive, and their support team is always ready to guide us through the process, ensuring we never miss a valuable opportunity. Whether you're new to government contracting or a seasoned vendor, Total Optim Bid is the partner you want by your side.

Elise Gherbremichael, Leader in Change

Total Optim Bid gets it! They know how daunting it is to find government contracts that actually align with what small businesses have to offer. Then, once you find potential contracts, the bidding process itself is time-consuming and risky. Total Optim Bid hedges small businesses' risk by only sharing highly-targeted, relevant opportunities with small business owners, saving time and money. They are committed to helping small businesses land government contracts, and that is worth its weight in gold.

What You Should Know

01.

How do you find and select the bids you send out each week?

We monitor several procurement platforms, state portals, and curated feeds, filter them based on your industry, location, and size, so you only see what’s relevant to your business capacity and service offerings.

02.

What makes this different from just searching on procurement portals myself?

The platforms are out there, but they’re fragmented, time-consuming, and often hard to filter if you’re not familiar with procurement. We save you hours each week by curating only what's a potential fit, plus we add strategy, context, and tools you won’t get from the raw listings alone.

03.

What industries or services are you best suited for right now?

We serve service and product-based small businesses—especially in consulting, marketing, training, HR, IT, sustainability, and professional services. We're also growing into nonprofit, construction, facilities and product opportunities. The system is flexible enough to scale across industries as long as there's demand.

04.

What is the Bid Readiness Score?

It’s a simple diagnostic that measures how prepared your business is to pursue contracts. We look at your registrations, documents, past performance, and capacity—then give you a personalized score and tips to improve.

05.

Does Total Optim Bid include proposal writing?

Yes, We offer Total Optim Advantage proposal writing services for current Subscribers. We also provide structure, strategy and editable templates as well as coaching and reviews to support you in writing your own proposals.

Can I share this with others in my network?

Absolutely. If you know someone who could benefit from Total Optim Bid, send them our way. We're also open to future referral partnerships for coaches, consultants, and business support pros.

07.

Can I still benefit from this if I’m not ready to submit a bid yet?

Yes. Even if you’re not submitting immediately, Total Optim Bid helps you build your vendor profile, get on buyers’ radar, and prepare for future opportunities. Showing up is half the win.

08.

How long does it take to start seeing opportunities after I subscribe?

Once you complete your Business Profile, you’ll typically start receiving curated opportunities within 3–5 business days. This gives us time to align listings with your services and build your profile on the backend.

09.

What if I’m not sure how to evaluate whether a bid is right for me?

Each opportunity comes with brief notes or strategy tips to guide your decision-making. And with included coaching calls, we’ll walk through it together and identify if it’s a smart fit for your goals and bandwidth.
