Made for construction and trades

Every tool speaks construction and trades

Generic bid software doesn't know a Davis-Bacon rate from a bid bond. SAM Submit does.

Matches for new construction, renovation, repair and job order contracts across SAM.gov, forecasts and state and local portals.

Davis-Bacon wage checks

Flags Davis-Bacon wage determinations and trade classifications so your labor rates are right before you bid.

Bonding and insurance flags

Spots bid bond, performance and payment bond and insurance requirements early so there are no surprises at submission.

Spec and SOW mapping

Pulls site visit dates, submittals, schedule, safety and specification requirements into a checklist you can check off.

Past performance and teaming

Organize past projects, references and subcontractor partners so every proposal shows you can deliver.

Past award prices

See who won similar projects, at what value and with which agency, so your price is competitive.
