How It Works

One Month, One Pursuit — An Illustrative Walkthrough

Sample story — Keystone Government Services, the same sample vendor as the Live Demo. The firm, the match, and the amendment below are illustrative of how a pursuit moves through RFPRound; they are not a customer testimonial, and no outcome is promised or typical.

Keystone's Month.

1. The match. Keystone's Match Profile — its NAICS codes, its set-aside certification, its states — is on file. On the morning digest, a new solicitation passes every gate the profile sets, with the reasons spelled out in plain English and a Match Score from Keystone's own rubric. No hunting through SAM.gov: the fit arrives explained.

2. The decision. Someone named decides. The pursuit moves from Watching to Reviewing, and the Bid decision is recorded with its rationale and its date — not left in someone's inbox. The pursuit brief assembles itself from the record: the notice summary, the requirements from the notice itself, the qualification notes.

3. The amendment. Mid-month, the buyer amends the solicitation and the deadline moves. SAM.gov only ever shows the latest version — but RFPRound snapshots every tracked notice daily and diffs the snapshots, so the move lands in Keystone's alerts the day it appears, and every countdown on the pursuit updates itself. This is the watch working exactly as the Proof page counts it.

4. The workflow. The pursuit runs Keystone's approval workflow: a draft review step, an approval step with a named owner, and a submit-gated step that only a user with the Submit Applications capability can complete — signing the certification statement as they do. A step that stalls shows up in My Tasks and in the Team Workload view, and can be reassigned before it becomes a missed deadline.

5. The submission. The bid goes in before the amended deadline, through the official listing's own channel. The submission confirmation and tracking number are recorded on the pursuit — the same record that already holds the decisions, the documents checklist, and the consent log.

6. The outcome. Won, the record continues: the award terms are confirmed against the official award notice, post-award report reminders are set, and closeout computes how long the records must be kept. Lost, a short debrief captures the buyer's feedback and a successor watch is set for the next round — most pursuits end here, and the next one starts smarter.

Your month could look like this. The four steps below are the whole mechanism — profile, daily matching, amendment watching, and a pipeline that keeps every decision on record.
