These terms apply when you use sealthebid.com or hire Seal the Bid to prepare a government bid. Each engagement is also confirmed in writing (by email or a short agreement) with the job, the tier and the fee.
What we do
We find government contract opportunities, read the solicitation and amendments, and prepare bid documents for you: forms, price schedules and cost worksheets, written sections and the final package.
What you do
- Decide whether to bid, and set your price.
- Give us accurate information about your company, people, past work and costs.
- Keep your registrations (such as SAM.gov), licenses, insurance and any bonds in place.
- Review the package, sign it and submit it yourself, on time. We never submit offers in your name.
No guarantee of award
The government decides who wins. We promise a complete, careful, on-time package, not a contract.
Fees
- Fees are flat, agreed before work starts, and listed on our pricing page or quoted in writing.
- Fees are never a percentage of a contract and never depend on winning.
- Fees are due before final delivery. For a new client's first bid, the fee is due only if you submit it. Monthly plans are billed in advance and can be cancelled any time; unused bids don't roll over.
- If we fail to deliver a package before the deadline through our own fault, we refund that bid's fee in full.
Deadlines
We need the solicitation and your information early enough to do the work, normally at least 7 days before the deadline for a Quick Quote and 10 days for a Full Bid. Later requests are accepted only if we confirm we can meet them.
Confidentiality
We keep your company information, pricing and documents confidential and use them only to work for you. See our privacy policy.
Not legal or accounting advice
We prepare bid documents. We don't give legal, tax or accounting advice; ask a professional where you need it. Seal the Bid is not affiliated with any government agency.
Our liability
To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any bid is limited to the fee you paid for it, and we aren't liable for lost profits or for contracts not awarded.
Job listings on this site
Listings come from public government sources and are refreshed daily, but can be incomplete or out of date. The official notice always wins.
Changes
We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version. Work already agreed stays under the terms that applied when it was agreed.
