A missing acknowledgment surfaces halfway through evaluation, after three people have already read the bid.

With the agentFound before the committee reads

Every required submittal checked against every bid on day one, with the gaps listed for a determination.

How it works

Mechanical compliance pass: required submittals present, addenda acknowledged, signatures, bonding, insurance, licensing and certification currency.

Finds submittal gaps early, so the agency can decide on them before the committee reads the bids.

01

It lists what was required

Every submittal, form, acknowledgment and certificate the solicitation and its addenda ask for becomes a check.

02

It checks each bid against the list

Present, missing or expired, bid by bid, including the certificates that have to be current on the due date.

03

It reads dates, not just presence

An insurance certificate that lapsed before the due date is not a certificate, so currency is checked as well as existence.

04

The determination stays yours

Responsiveness is a legal determination with consequences for a bidder. The agent flags; a person decides.

Two of the four did not. Carter and Meridian have no acknowledgment of Addendum 2, which changed the bond requirement in section 5.2. Alder also submitted an insurance certificate that expired before the due date.

What it will not do

It flags only. Whether a missing submittal is a material irregularity, and whether it can be waived, is a determination the agency makes and records.
