Question 1

How does the free trial work?

Accepted Answer

We confirm your company profile and configure four active qualification questions. AcornBids then delivers up to three company-specific qualification briefs over as many as 60 days. Each brief includes source evidence, the strongest caveat, timing, and a recommended next action. No credit card is required and the trial does not renew automatically.

Question 2

What is government contract qualification software?

Accepted Answer

Government contract qualification software helps contractors evaluate whether an opportunity fits their capabilities and pursuit criteria. AcornBids applies reusable, company-specific questions to federal opportunity text and attachments, then returns structured answers, summaries, filters, and citations for review.

Question 3

Does AcornBids replace SAM.gov?

Accepted Answer

No. SAM.gov remains the official source for federal contract opportunities. AcornBids is an independent qualification layer that helps teams work with public opportunity data, documents, and amendments more efficiently.

Question 4

Can AcornBids read solicitation attachments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AcornBids analyzes opportunity descriptions and supported attached documents to answer qualification questions. Answers can include citations so a user can review the supporting source before making a decision.

Question 5

How does AcornBids support bid or no-bid decisions?

Accepted Answer

Teams define the criteria that matter to them, such as capability fit, geography, clearance, certifications, contract vehicle, past performance, and mandatory requirements. AcornBids applies those questions across opportunities so reviewers can filter poor fits and investigate credible pursuits.
