Find and evaluate RFPs
Thousands of government and education RFPs are released every day. Manually searching through them takes hours your reps should spend selling, and many of the opportunities they find are not winnable. Starbridge automates the entire workflow of finding, evaluating, and routing the right RFPs to your team.
Natural language RFP search
Most teams search for RFPs one portal at a time, running keyword searches across fragmented state and local government and education bid sites. It takes a lot of time, and the sheer volume of documents makes manual review an unreliable way to identify the best-fit opportunities.
With Starbridge, you can:
- Search thousands of state and local government, K-12, and higher ed bid portals with a single plain-language query
- Receive a curated list of matching RFPs by topic, service category, or agency type
- Launch a Bridge from any search to turn a one-time query into a recurring, automated workflow
The AI RFP Finder centralizes bid portals across the entire government and education market into one feed, enabling your team to move from reactive to proactive without increasing manual work.
One-click bridge setup
Once you have run a search, you can convert it into a live GTM workflow with a single click. This transforms a list of RFPs into an automated system.
With Starbridge, you can:
- Click Create Bridge on any search to launch a configurable workflow for that RFP feed
- Set your scoring criteria, notification preferences, and rep assignments in one place
- Run the same workflow continuously. Every new RFP matching your search criteria flows through your Bridge automatically.
For teams managing multiple product lines or territories, a Bridge turns a one-time search into a consistent, repeatable process that operates without manual intervention.
Spot vendor-written RFPs before you commit
Many public sector RFPs are not open competitions. Some are written to spec for an incumbent, with vendor-specific product names, proprietary system references, or technical requirements that only one provider can meet. Teams that do not identify this spend weeks on proposals with poor odds.
With Starbridge, you can:
- Run bulk AI analysis across your entire RFP feed to flag vendor-specific language before opening a single document
- Identify patterns such as proprietary product names used as requirements, technical specifications that match a competitor's exact feature set, or unusual certification demands that narrow the field to one or two providers
- Receive an automatic go/no-go indicator for each RFP so your team spends time only on genuinely competitive bids
Your reps stop losing weeks to proposals that were never going to convert.
AI scoring on your criteria
Finding the right RFPs still leaves you with a stack of documents to evaluate. Manually reading each one to assess fit takes hours your team does not have, and the document alone does not indicate whether the account is actually ready to switch.
With Starbridge, you can:
- Write a scoring prompt in plain English, describing what constitutes a strong or poor fit, with no configuration required
- Score every RFP in your feed on a 1–10 scale, with a written AI rationale for each result
- Cross-reference each scored RFP with account intelligence: the current vendor, spend history, and recent board meeting discussions from the account
- Sort the scored list to surface your highest-fit opportunities instantly
HousingCloud reduced time spent per RFP by 8–10 hours and saw a 30% increase in RFP discovery rate after deploying this workflow.
Automated delivery to the right rep
Scored RFPs sitting in a dashboard do not drive pipeline. Warm bids must reach the right rep before the window closes.
With Starbridge, you can:
- Configure email digests by territory so each rep receives their top-scored RFPs daily or weekly
- Use the Zapier integration to push every high-scoring RFP directly to a Slack channel as soon as it is scored
- Route warm bids to the right person automatically, without a manager triaging a shared inbox
For state and local government and education sales teams covering large territories, automated delivery is the difference between a consistent B2G pipeline and missed bids.
