The smart paperwork assistant for NYC bidding.
Bidsmith is a two-sided pipeline for NYC public procurement. Contractors drop a PASSPort RFP and get a compliant draft response. Agencies turn a one-page intake plus drawings into a PPB-compliant RFQ and match qualified vendors. Six human-in-the-loop checkpoints, zero autonomous submissions.
Free tier: 1 watermarked sample per month. No credit card to start.

Two tracks. Pick yours.
Respond to RFPs
MBE/WBE firms, subs, GCs bidding on NYC public-works. Bidsmith drafts the narrative, builds the M/WBE plan, and clears the paperwork gauntlet.
Issue RFQs
DDC, SCA, NYCHA staff, agency architects, GCs producing subcontractor RFQs. Generate compliant solicitations and match qualified vendors from one workspace.
Built like infrastructure, not a SaaS demo.
Won't let you submit a bad package
Rules-based pre-flight covers Schedule B, Good Faith Efforts, Iran Divestment, DBDF, EMR letters. Live SAM.gov and NYC debarment screening. Every check must pass before download.
Every draft cites your profile
Bidsmith never invents experience, certifications, or awards. Each generated section traces back to a fact on your firm profile. Regenerate, edit, reject — the human always has the final word.
Procurement, not product
Solicitations, addenda, PPB Rules, VENDEX, PQL, prevailing wage. The vocabulary the people on your contracts already use at work. No 'leverage your seamless workflows' anywhere in sight.
