How it works

Four steps. No mystery.

Most procurement consultants make the process sound complicated so you cannot price-check them. We made ours boring on purpose. Here is exactly what happens when you engage WedgeBid.

  1. Take the audit

    Ten minutes. Twelve questions about your business — industry, ownership, revenue range, certifications you already hold, contracts you have won or pursued, what you are trying to accomplish. Free. No sales call required. Within 24 hours you get a PDF showing every certification, grant program, and contract category your business is eligible for.

  2. Pick a path

    Your audit report identifies opportunities. You decide which to pursue. Some clients start with a single certification. Others come to us with a specific solicitation already on their desk. Some want the pipeline subscription so they can see opportunities monthly without committing to a full engagement. Whatever you pick, the scope is fixed and the fee is set before any work begins.

  3. We do the work

    You sign an engagement letter. We start the work the next business day. For most services, you receive a document checklist showing exactly what we need from you. We do the drafting, the research, the formatting, the deadline tracking. You review, ask questions, and sign the filings that need a human signature. We never sign anything under penalty of perjury on your behalf — that signature is always yours.

  4. You win the work

    The application gets filed. The bid gets submitted. The grant gets applied for. From there, agency review and competitive dynamics take over — we do not control those. What we control is that your submission is complete, correctly formatted, and on time. If you win, we help you fulfill. If you do not win this round, we update your file and target the next opportunity that fits.

What makes us different

The work is the same. The structure is different.

Traditional procurement consultants charge $5,000 to $25,000 for the same work we deliver for $795 to $10,000. The work product is not different — the deliverable to the agency is identical regardless of who prepares it. What changed is the production cost.

WedgeBid combines experienced human professionals with AI-assisted drafting tools. The AI does the parts that are mechanical — gathering public records, formatting forms to spec, drafting initial narrative passes, checking for completeness against agency requirements. A human reviews everything, makes the judgment calls, handles the relationship, and signs off. The result is faster preparation at a fraction of the traditional cost.

We pass the savings to you because we want to serve more small businesses, not fewer.

What we will tell you honestly

  • When a bid is not worth pursuing.
  • When a certification is unlikely to be approved given your current circumstances.
  • When your situation needs an attorney, not us.
  • When a competitor we already represent is bidding the same opportunity.

What we ask of you

  • Honest answers in the audit. Eligibility rests on the facts you give us.
  • Document turnaround. We can do our work fast; agency review cannot start until you sign and we file.
  • Realistic expectations. Government procurement is a long game. Your first win takes work. The second is easier.

The first step is always the audit.
