FAQ
In case you missed anything and had some more questions.
What is a request for proposal (RFP)?
An RFP stands for Request for Proposal. An RFP is a formal solicitation issued by a government entity to procure services that solve a problem, meet a community need, or address an administrative requirement. Unlike a simple price quote, it requires vendors to propose solutions, which are then evaluated against an established evaluation criteria to determine the best overall value. Note, “RFP” is broadly used to refer to government solicitations—RFPs, RFQs, RFIs, and similar documents—all related to professional services.
What is a professional service?
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 54 represents Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services. For simplicity, we've shortened the code name to just professional services. This sector includes businesses that specialize in activities requiring a high degree of expertise and training, such as legal services, accounting, engineering, consulting, research, advertising, and similar services. These white collar services rely heavily on professional knowledge and often involve providing customized solutions to clients rather than standardized products. A quick note, the NAICS code system has become a standardized way to categorize government procurements by sector and/or industry so opportunities can be grouped and searched consistently.
What is Leads?
With the Leads plan you get a curated feed of professional service RFPs from Idaho, Oregon, Washington (commonly referred to as the Pacific Northwest) and California in one place. You can filter quickly by state, entity type, NAICS, and tags, then review clear, jargon-free RFP details to decide faster. When you’re ready, you get one-click access to the original documents and the ability to save RFPs so you can return to them whenever you need to. Also, we provide RFP reommendations so you can kick-start your discovery process in minutes. Where are these RFPs sourced from? We source RFPs from hundreds of government websites in ID, OR, WA, and CA, covering cities, counties, and state departments/agencies. Using authoritative sources like the U.S. Census, we keep entities organized so you never miss an opportunity. How do search and filters work? Use smart filters to narrow opportunities by location (state), who issued it (entity type), and what it’s for (NAICS + tags)—so you spend less time digging and more time reviewing the right-fit RFPs. Do you link to the original RFP documents? Yes. Each listing includes one-click access to the source documents so you can verify requirements and download everything you need. How will I stay up to date on new RFPs? You’ll receive a weekly email of recently aggregated RFPs—so you don’t miss opportunities even when you’re busy. Many users even review the Weekly Digest over their morning coffee.
What is Leads Plus?
Leads Plus (coming soon) is for teams who want to do more than discover RFPs—they want to respond and compete 80% faster. It includes the full Leads dashboard and adds AI that helps you move from bid/no-bid decisions to proposal drafts with less manual work. How does Leads Plus help once I find an RFP? It turns dense RFP documents into clear, plain-English summaries so you can quickly understand requirements, deadlines, and what the government is actually asking for. Can I generate an outline without sharing company information? Yes. You can generate a proposal outline based on the RFP itself, which helps you structure your response and plan what you need to gather internally. What do you need to generate a draft? Generating drafts works best when you share more context about your company—and ideally prior winning proposals—so the output reflects your services, differentiators, and proof points. What’s the main benefit of Leads Plus? You get time back by reducing the busywork of reading, interpreting, and getting started. That frees your team to focus on higher-value work: collaborating, sharpening your strategy, building on your strengths, and proactively addressing gaps or weaknesses before you submit. Is Leads Plus replacing human judgment? No. Think of it like an AI teammate that does the grunt work—summarizing, extracting requirements, and producing a strong starting point—while your team stays in control of the final strategy, voice, and submission.
What is RFPGo.ai?
RFPGo.ai is the first end-to-end RFP platform built for small, high-performing teams. It helps you find the right opportunities, quickly understand requirements, and move from discovery to submission with less friction. We offer plans that meet you where you are—starting with Leads for streamlined RFP discovery, and expanding to Leads Plus (coming soon), which adds AI to turn dense solicitations into clear summaries to aid bid/no-bid decisions, and the ability to kickstart responses with outlines and drafts.

What makes RFPGo.ai different?
RFPGo.ai is built to help businesses make faster, better decisions about government RFPs—not just find more links. State and local RFPs are scattered across government websites, procurement portals, PDFs, and agency pages that all present information differently. Many tools simply point you to those URLs and leave the rest to you. RFPGo.ai goes beyond that. We bring fragmented RFPs into one place and organize them in a consistent, easy-to-review format. Each opportunity includes actionable information like plain-language one pagers, due dates, relevant tags, source document access, and personalized recommendations. You can also save RFPs into your workflow, organize opportunities you want to revisit, and review relevant leads on the go with a mobile-friendly experience. The result is less time jumping between outdated government portals and more time deciding which opportunities are actually worth pursuing.
