Government Opportunity Intelligence
You focus on winning contracts.I focus on finding them.
I am Phil Dave. I watch every procurement platform that matters, read the bid documents, and qualify the fit, so your estimators stop drowning in portals and notifications and start working only the opportunities worth pursuing.
Twenty-minute discovery call, no cost. Public pricing from $599/month.
What lands in your inbox

Reviewed, qualified, linked. Sample illustration.
Fluent in the platforms your buyers actually use
The problem
Bidding does not fail at the proposal. It fails at the search.
By the time most contractors sit down to write, they have already lost hours to the part of the job nobody trained them for: finding the right work in the first place.
Too many portals
MERX, CanadaBuys, SAM.gov, a different SaaS portal for nearly every municipality. Each one has its own login, its own search, its own notification settings.
Too many notifications
Keyword alerts fire on everything and qualify nothing. Your inbox fills with work that was never in your lane, and the one bid that mattered slips by unread.
Too many poor fits
Estimators spend their best hours reading documents for opportunities you were never going to win, instead of the handful you actually should.
Not enough time
Nobody has time to open every PDF, find the mandatory site meeting on page 14, and check the addenda that quietly moved the close date.
Missed opportunities
The work that fits you best is often filed under a title you would never search. If you are not watching the way buyers write, you never see it.
Opportunity overload
More data has not made bidding easier. It has made it noisier. Volume is not the problem. Knowing what is worth your time is.
The difference
Platforms show you everything. I show you what matters.
Government Opportunity Intelligence is a different job than running a portal. The platforms hand you data. I hand you a decision.
The cost of doing it yourself
The search has a price. You are already paying it.
Every hour an estimator or proposal manager spends monitoring portals, opening documents and triaging alerts is an hour not spent winning. Here is what that hour is worth.

What is searching costing you?
Estimated monthly cost of DIY
$2,362
in estimator time alone, before a single bid is written
That is roughly $1,763/month of estimator time you could put back on winnable bids, and you stop reading the ones that were never a fit.
This is an estimate based on the numbers you enter. Your actual time and cost will vary.

How it works
Four steps. I run the first three.
You stay focused on pricing and proposals. I take care of everything that happens before a bid is worth your team's time.
Monitor
I watch every platform that serves your jurisdictions, continuously, so nothing depends on you remembering to log in.
Review
I open the documents and read them: scope, requirements, evaluation criteria, site meetings, addenda, the catch.
Qualify
I judge fit against your trades, capacity and footprint, and set aside the bids that were never right for you.
Deliver
You get a short, plain-language summary and a direct link to the source bid. Your team prices and submits.
Platform expertise
I know where opportunities live and how they hide.
Each platform categorizes, titles and notifies differently. Knowing those quirks is the difference between seeing a fit and missing it.

Built around how your trade actually gets bid.
Your work hides under different titles and inside larger packages depending on the trade. I learn how buyers describe yours.
Construction
General and trade contractors bidding public buildings, roads, renovations and capital projects.
Janitorial
Commercial cleaning contractors bidding recurring custodial work for public buildings and schools.
Facilities Maintenance
Integrated and trade-specific maintenance providers bidding building-operations contracts.
Industrial Supplies
Distributors and suppliers bidding commodity, equipment and consumable contracts.
MRO Supplies
Maintenance, repair and operations suppliers bidding recurring public-sector supply work.
By the numbers
A big, noisy market. That is exactly the point.
Government buyers spend enormous sums across thousands of opportunities and dozens of platforms. The scale is the opportunity, and the reason no team can watch it all alone.
See Government Contracting by the Numbers for the market data behind this.
Where this comes from
I came up inside the platforms themselves.
I did not come to this from the outside. For three and a half years I worked inside the eprocurement industry, handling more than 17,500 contractor accounts across a portfolio of major procurement platforms in Canada and the US. My job was keeping contractors getting real value from those platforms, which means I saw exactly where they lose bids: not at the proposal, at the search. Now I do that part for you, from your side of the table.
- 17,500+ contractor accounts handled across Canada and the US
- A portfolio of major procurement platforms, learned from the inside
- 18+ platforms monitored for clients today
Pricing
Transparent pricing, structured as coverage.
Not per opportunity. Not per portal. Not hourly. Entry coverage is public from $599 a month; national and cross-border coverage is scoped to your footprint.
Qualified Opportunity Guarantee
If I don't identify at least 3 opportunities that match your approved targeting criteria within the first 90 days, I'll extend your subscription at no cost until the guarantee is fulfilled.
Qualified opportunity: an open solicitation I have matched to the trades, capacity, and coverage area you give me, summarized in plain language with a source link. The guarantee covers delivery of qualified opportunities, not contract awards, which depend on your bid. It assumes an active subscription and an accurate profile from you.
