DLA · DIBBS bid intelligence

The winning price is public.
You’re still guessing.

Every DLA award is on the record — who won, what they charged, who’s qualified to make the part. RFQ Hunter matches the open solicitations to your shop and puts the winning price in front of you before you bid.

For the small shops that bid DLA parts on DIBBS: machine shops, fastener and electronics suppliers, medical and fittings distributors — the mom-and-pop outfits paying for a big platform’s entry tier and still bidding half-blind.

The work does not come to you. You go get it.

RFQ Hunter is the gear that brings the work into range, put in your sights.

The blindfold

You bid $200 a part. The government had been paying $400.

A shop bids a titanium bracket at $200, wins, builds, and ships — feeling good about the work. Six months later it learns the government’s historical ceiling on that exact part was $400, what it had paid the last supplier for years. The shop won the bid and still left $50,000 of margin on the table — for no reason but that it bid blind.

And just finding the work is a grind. DIBBS posts thousands of new requests a day, almost none of them yours, hidden behind obscure supply-class codes and drawings buried in other portals. You do it at night, after the floor work. The shops beating you aren’t smarter than you — they just have the file.

Find it. Know it. Win it. Deliver it.

RFQ Hunter runs the part of a bid that used to eat your week.

01Find

Find the work that fits.

Every business day, RFQ Hunter pulls the open DLA solicitations and ranks them by how well they fit your shop — reading your CAGE, your FSC, your award history, and the parts you’ve already supplied. Not a saved search. It reads what your shop is actually built to make, so you open one screen and see the handful worth your time.

02Know

Know the part cold.

For any National Stock Number, see the whole public procurement story on one page: the price band a winning bid has landed in, who has won it before, who is approved to make it, how the government stocks it, and what it goes into.

This is the edge — and it’s the next section.

03Win

Win the bid.

Get a clear bid-or-no-bid read, then price it on the Quote Worksheet with the part’s winning-price history sitting right next to your numbers. Track every pursuit in one pipeline — from considering to submitted to won — so you see your real hit rate and what actually wins.

04Deliver

Deliver the work.

A won bid becomes a tracked contract, then a job, then a delivery — so the work you fought for doesn’t vanish into a spreadsheet and no due date slips. A bid-versus-actual read tells you whether the job actually made money.

NSN intelligenceSCALE TIER

The deep part data, without the enterprise price tag.

The part-level intelligence below is usually the most expensive thing a platform sells — depth reserved for a top enterprise tier. On RFQ Hunter it lives in the Scale plan — priced for a small shop, not an enterprise IT budget. A solicitation tells you a part is wanted. RFQ Hunter tells you what the public record knows about it.

One platform, the whole pursuit.
From the first matched RFQ to bid-versus-actual on the delivered job — nothing leaves the system.
On your terms

AI helpers — optional, and you hold the switch.

AI tailors your capability statement and letters to a specific opportunity, and drafts subcontractor outreach. You choose how to power it.

BRING YOUR OWN AI
Connect your own key, run unmetered.
Connect your own Claude key and run the helpers unmetered on your own account — no platform credits ever deducted. ChatGPT support is landing before launch; for now, Claude is live. Your key is encrypted, never logged, removable anytime.
BUILT-IN CREDITS
Or just use the credits.
Don’t want to manage an API key? Platform AI credits are the convenient path — included from the Growth tier up, buy more anytime.
The part that matters most: the reads that decide your bids — the Strong, Fair, or Long-shot verdict and the price bands — are computed from real award data, not generated by a chatbot. AI helps you write. The data does the deciding. AI is off until you turn it on, and the whole platform works without it.
Why you can trust the numbers

A glass pipeline, not a black box.

Every read traces back to the public record: DLA and DIBBS award histories, the federal logistics catalog, the approved-source tables, and your own SAM registration. The win-likelihood signal and the price bands are computed from that data — so you can see the reasoning behind every verdict and judge it for yourself.

For decades that visibility belonged to the bureaucracy, and you had a spreadsheet. RFQ Hunter puts it in your hands.

Invite-only, on purpose

Early on is when you get exactly what your shop needs.

You get a direct line to the person building RFQ Hunter — not a ticket queue. Tell us what your shop actually needs: an import for your inventory, a report you live by, a step we haven’t built. Inside, there’s a place to request features, tell us what to build next, and flag anything broken.

The features that ship are the ones you ask for — not the ones we guess at.

Pricing

Pay for the size of your team — not a flat rate.

Every plan includes seats; extra seats are a flat add-on ($20 / $60 / $100 a seat). One admin chooses which pages each teammate can see.

A few honest answers

Questions, answered straight.

Do I need an AI key?
No. The bid reads and price reads are computed from real data and need no AI at all. The AI helpers are optional, for writing tasks — bring your own provider key or use the credits on a paid plan.
Is the trial really free?
Yes — it's invite-only, but once you're in, it's a genuine 14-day trial. No card, on your real data.
Why seats instead of unlimited users?
Because every user has a real cost to serve. A flat, unlimited fee would either overcharge a one-person shop or lose money on a hundred-person one. Each plan includes the seats a typical shop needs, and extra seats are a cheap, flat add-on — $20, $60, or $100 a seat. You pay for the size of your team, not a rate that makes the small shop cover the big one.
