About VelocityBids
VelocityBids is AI bid software that finds public-sector opportunities across 20,000+ sources and fills out bid responses using your company’s data and past responses, for companies that win work through public bids.
What VelocityBids does
Opportunity discovery
VelocityBids monitors 20,000+ public sources, including city procurement, school districts, and public agencies, and surfaces only the RFPs that fit your business. The bid documents come together in one place for your team.
Bid response drafting
Using your company information and past responses, VelocityBids fills out the bid and drafts supporting content for the specific requirements you’re answering. Your team starts from a complete draft instead of a blank form.
Bid pricing
VelocityBids can calculate your bid price and complete the pricing schedule, so the last step is one final review before you submit.
What makes VelocityBids different
It fills out the bid, not just the alert
Many bid tools stop at telling you an opportunity exists. VelocityBids goes on to draft the response and pricing schedule, which is where most of the hours go.
Built on your own content
Responses are grounded in your company’s information and previous bids, so answers read like your team wrote them rather than generic boilerplate.
20,000+ public sources
Coverage spans city procurement, school districts, and public agencies, so relevant work doesn’t slip past because nobody checked the right portal.
Ready in the formats buyers ask for
Bid responses are prepared as PDF, PowerPoint, and Excel documents, including completed pricing tables.
Your team stays in control
Nothing is submitted without your approval. Your team reviews the prepared answers, confirms the details, and makes any changes before sending.
