Roughly 30–40% of federal RFPs are effectively "wired" for an incumbent. Capture managers know it. BD teams pretend they don't. Proposal teams pay the price.
The average cost of a mid-sized federal proposal. Every wired RFP you chase is a real dollar loss.
SMEs, pricing, red teams, color reviews — all burned on a bid the incumbent already won.
The typical win rate on truly wired contracts. Your capture playbook says "no-bid." Your calendar says otherwise.

The stuff federal contractors ask before installing.
A wired contract is a federal solicitation where the buying agency has effectively pre-selected the winner — usually the incumbent — before the RFP is posted. Requirements, timeline, and evaluation criteria are shaped around one contractor. Industry estimates put 30–40% of federal RFPs in this bucket.
IsItWired analyzes 15+ years of public federal award history through a proprietary scoring model and produces the Wired Score. It runs the moment you open an opportunity page on SAM.gov. Treat the score as a fast filter, not a verdict.
Yes. The Wired Score is free forever — no signup, no email, no credit card. A Pro tier with deeper capture intelligence is on the way.
No. No account, no email, no analytics, no cookies. Everything runs locally in your browser. See the privacy policy.
Yes. IsItWired only reads the SAM.gov page you're already viewing and analyzes public federal award data. It doesn't scrape SAM.gov, automate submissions, or bypass any authentication.
It's a signal, not a verdict. The score reflects patterns across prior awards. It won't catch every wired RFP and it will occasionally over-score a competitive one. Use it as a fast filter at the top of your capture funnel.
Federal capture managers, business development, proposal managers, GovCon consultants, and small-business owners bidding on SAM.gov opportunities.
