About this product

Chasing government work means juggling solicitation numbers, Q&A deadlines, site visits, submission dates, and a dozen compliance items per bid — in spreadsheets that don't talk to each other. GovBid Tracker puts the whole pursuit in one native-formula workbook (no macros, works in Excel and Google Sheets).

WHAT'S INSIDE (7 sheets):

• START HERE — setup walkthrough, how to clear the sample data, and disclosures.
• BID PIPELINE — 120 rows: opportunity, agency/buyer, type (RFP/RFQ/ITB), solicitation #, posted / Q&A / site-visit / submission dates, estimated value, status (Watching → Won/Lost), owner, link. Days-until-deadline and urgency flags compute automatically (RED ZONE at 7 days or less, PAST DUE, DUE WITHIN 30d, ON TRACK), plus score, recommendation, and the compliance gate per bid.
• SCORECARD — 60 slots: score Fit, Win probability, Capacity, Competition, and Margin 1–10 per opportunity. The weighted total rebalances from weights you set yourself; 70+ = GO — PURSUE, 50–69 = MAYBE — REVIEW RISKS, below 50 = NO-BID — DEPRIORITIZE. A decision aid, not a prediction.
• COMPLIANCE — 6 bid slots × 14 requirements (cover letter, technical + price proposals, SAM.gov registration, insurance, bonds, references, past performance, formatting, page limits, copies, delivery, forms, addenda). Mark each Required (Y/N) and Done / Pending / N-A. The pipeline gate turns READY TO SUBMIT only when every required item is done.
• CALENDAR — the next 30 upcoming Q&A, site-visit, and submission dates pulled automatically, nearest first.
• DASHBOARD — active opportunities, submitted count, win rate across decided bids, active pipeline value, red-zone and overdue counts, value by stage, and a 10-row debrief log (what worked / lesson learned).
• SETTINGS — the anchor date (defaults to today), scorecard weights, recommendation thresholds, and dropdown lists.

ALSO INCLUDED: Quick-Start Guide (PDF) and README with license and disclosures.

DISCLOSURES:

GovBid Tracker organizes your pursuit work; it does not improve your odds of winning a bid, and nothing in it is legal, procurement, tax, or financial advice. Always verify every deadline, requirement, form, and term against the agency's official posting before submitting. All sample agencies, bids, values, and owners in the workbook are fictional and labeled SAMPLE — replace them with your real pipeline.
