How to use BidBuster

From solicitation to submission, step by step.

A practical walkthrough of a full bid in BidBuster, so your team is productive on day one.

Before you start

BidBuster turns a government solicitation into a compliant, mostly filled submission package. You do the thinking and the final review. BidBuster does the reading, mapping, and form filling. This guide walks through a full bid, start to finish.

You will get the most out of BidBuster if you have your company details ready: legal entity information, certifications, registration IDs (UEI, CAGE), NAICS or UNSPSC codes, and one or two past performance write ups.
