Bid Decision Framework
Use this framework to make cleaner bid/no-bid decisions and protect your team from costly low-probability pursuits.
Most early government contractors do not have a lead problem. They have a qualification problem. This framework helps you decide faster whether a bid aligns with your capabilities and economics.
The goal is not to say no to everything. The goal is to say yes more confidently when an opportunity truly fits your delivery model, timeline, and compliance posture.
It works especially well when paired with Selvro's bid calculator, which turns the same decision logic into a faster interactive workflow.
What This Covers
- ✓A repeatable screening process for fit, timing, and compliance complexity
- ✓Simple scoring criteria your team can reuse across opportunities
- ✓Guidance on when to walk away early instead of forcing a weak submission
