The Bid and Win find work radar, live federal bids matched to your lane with the CMMC gate flagged on each

The Find work radar. Live DoW bids in your lane, flagged by what each one needs to bid.

Safeguarding requirements at Level 1, the front door

The work is already posted. Every year the federal government puts more than $700 billion+of contracts on the table, and a large share is Department of War work that small businesses like yours can win. The catch is the clock. The CMMC security rules are rolling into contracts right now, so the companies that find the bids, win them, and clear the gate first are the ones who get paid and keep the contracts they already hold. Bid & Win puts all three in one free hub, so you stop leaving your share on the table.

2

See the DoW bids in your lane

Open the live radar and watch real bids pulled straight from SAM.gov, each one flagged by what it needs at proposal time. An open pipeline meter shows how many bids are live and the typical dollars in play.

Draft the proposal and paperwork with AI

Build a capability statement, draft a proposal tailored to a specific bid, and check whether you qualify for set aside work, all in minutes. The paperwork consultants charge thousands for, done for free.

Clear CMMC, the one gate to getting paid

Charlie explains your level in plain English, hands you the policy templates, and walks you through the security requirements. Level 1 is 15 safeguarding requirements, not a mystery. Clear the gate and get paid.

Two honest paths

We show you the free way. Then you choose.

Every resource here comes with a free do it yourself path. Read the guides, use the tools, and clear each step on your own, at no cost. Or when you would rather not touch the paperwork, hand it to the platform and the Custodia team of CMMC professionals. You see the free way first, then you choose.

Do it yourself, free

Find it, win it, and clear the gate on your own

Everything you need lives in the hub, free: the live bid radar, an AI capability statement and proposal drafter, the SAM.gov walkthrough, plain English learning of your level, and a CMMC advisor that cites its sources. No credit card, no catch.

Or let us make it easy

Use the platform to get it done

When you would rather not spend your nights on it, the Custodia platform does the work: generated policies that stand as evidence, the SSP, your SPRS affirmation, a human compliance officer, and a bid ready packet. Same standard, far less of your time.
