Two ways in
Where do you fit?
Pick the path that matches where you are today. Both start with a free 3-day trial — no credit card.
I own an established business
Add government as a customer vertical. We can surface contracts that match what you already sell, score them for fit, and help you pursue the right ones — without reinventing your company.
I'm new to government contracting
No experience required. We walk you through registration, help you find a contract that fits a first-timer, and connect you with subcontractors who handle the actual work — so you can win as the prime without physically completing the project yourself.
Proof, not promises
See a live contract, its source, and our analysis — before you pay
Don't take our word for it. Here is a real, currently-open government solicitation with a direct link to the actual RFP documents, plus the pursuit-score analysis the platform can produce for it.

Indiana Department of Administration (IDOA)
Our featured example solicitations have closed. You can browse every currently-open Indiana solicitation directly on the official IDOA portal.
Sourced from IN.gov — Current Business Opportunities. The RFP Documents button opens the official solicitation packet directly. Verify independently before bidding.
Pursuit score: 78/100
Clear scope, achievable specs, and an open timeline. A strong candidate for a vendor matching the solicitation's profile.
Recommendation
Go — the requirements match a standard vendor profile. Consider a subcontractor for delivery or specialty scope to strengthen the bid.
Illustrative analysis of the contract shown. Your scores depend on your profile and the live solicitation.
"We used the free trial to run a search on our NAICS code. Caelum surfaced a state solicitation we would have missed, broke down the requirements, and flagged a subcontractor for delivery logistics. We submitted a quote inside the trial window."

You are not changing the business. You are changing the buyer.
Government contracting is not limited to defense companies or massive construction firms. Public agencies purchase the everyday products, services and expertise required to operate.

The subcontractor advantage
Find subs. Send offers. Stay the prime.
No other RFQ aggregator helps you actually build a team. Caelum Contracts discovers real subcontractors for each opportunity, lets you send branded offer letters in one click, and collects their quotes privately — all while keeping the agency and your subs separated so you protect the relationship and the margin.
New to government contracting? The same network works in reverse — if you have a skill or trade and an EIN, we connect you with prime contractors who need subcontractors on live contracts and guide your registration so you are qualified to step in.
Discover real subcontractors
Search the web for actual companies matched to the contract scope, NAICS code, and geography — not a static directory.
Send branded offer letters
One click generates a Caelum Contracts-branded, anonymized offer letter. The subcontractor never sees the agency or solicitation.
Collect quotes privately
Subs submit quotes through a tokenized private form. Quotes land directly on the opportunity — no email chains, no spreadsheets.
Stay the prime
You own the relationship. The agency and the subcontractor never contact each other directly, protecting your margin and your deal.

Quote from your own catalog
Store your inventory once. Incoming RFQs get matched to your products and quoted in seconds — no manual line-item pricing.
