Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions contractors ask most before getting started.
Does ContractBidPro read the PDF attachments on SAM.gov listings?
ContractBidPro can retrieve and process supported documents attached to SAM.gov opportunities. Attachment availability and processing depend on the source files; review the source solicitation and amendments before relying on extracted content.
How long does it take to generate a proposal?
Generation time varies by document size, complexity, and the amount of business context provided. AI-generated content is a draft and should be checked against the solicitation by your team.
Can I edit the proposal before downloading?
Yes. Generated proposal content can be reviewed and edited in the proposal viewer. Check the downloaded PDF or Word file to confirm it contains the final text you intend to submit.
What happens if the solicitation is amended after I generate?
Review the latest notice and amendments, update the source information available for the opportunity, then regenerate if needed. Check the new draft against the current solicitation.
What if the SAM.gov API quota is exhausted?
SAM.gov may limit API requests. If a scan is delayed or throttled, adjust the scan frequency or try again later, and confirm the opportunity directly on SAM.gov.
Do I have to use my own company data?
You can provide business-profile details, Price Book information, and past-performance records as context. Review the resulting draft to ensure it accurately reflects your company and the solicitation.
