Frequently asked
Before you register.
Still unsure whether the bootcamp fits your stage? These are the questions most first-time suppliers ask.
Do I need previous government-contracting experience?
No. The bootcamp is designed for businesses at the starting line. You should already have a defined service or product and some business experience to draw from.
Will you review a live RFP or write my proposal?
No. Live opportunity assessment, pricing and proposal support are part of BidIQ’s advanced eight-week cohort and done-for-you services.
What happens in the group review labs?
Participants work through capability statements, buyer lists and outreach messages in guided breakouts. Selected examples may be reviewed live so the full group can learn.
What is the private Guided Review?
It is one focused 30-minute session covering your capability statement, target buyers and procurement introduction message. It does not include proposal review.
Does participation guarantee a government contract?
No. Government purchasing decisions depend on buyer needs, eligibility, competition and performance. The bootcamp helps you build credible positioning and a consistent outreach process.
Where will the community be hosted?
Paid participants will be invited to the existing Federal Bid Circle on LinkedIn for updates, accountability and community discussion.
When does the next cohort start?
January 13, 2027. Join the waitlist for first access and early-bird pricing until December 15.
What if the bootcamp isn't a fit?
There are no refunds. If you complete the bootcamp and feel you didn't get value, you can repeat a future cohort once at no cost.
Your business cannot be considered if buyers do not know it exists.
Use the next 30 days to package your capability, identify the right contacts and begin showing up with a clear message.
