Top 3 GovCon Tools Every Small Business Should Be Using

If you’re serious about government contracting, you can’t just wing it with sticky notes and spreadsheets. GovCon is a system — and if you don’t have the right tools, you’ll waste time, miss deadlines, and probably give up before you ever win a contract.

The good news? You don’t need 20 different apps. Just a few plug-and-play tools will save you hours and make you look like a pro. Here are my top 3.

Tool #1: BidBanter Template

Ever get stuck wondering what to say when reaching out to subcontractors? That’s where BidBanter comes in.

  • Provides ready-to-use outreach templates

  • Keeps conversations professional and compliant

  • Saves time when collecting quotes

👉 Fact: Most small businesses lose bids because they don’t have the right pricing data. BidBanter fixes that.

Tool #2: DealMaker Call Journal

Government contracting is about relationships. If you’re not keeping track of who you spoke to, when, and what was said, you’ll get lost.

The DealMaker Call Journal helps you:

  • Track every call with contracting officers or subs

  • Keep your notes organized

  • Follow up without forgetting key details

💡 Pro tip: Organized businesses stand out. Contracting officers notice.

Tool #3: BidWinner CRM

If you’re juggling multiple bids, subcontractors, and deadlines, you need a system. The BidWinner CRM is built for GovCon — not generic sales.

  • Manage bids from start to finish

  • Store documents, quotes, and contacts in one place

  • Automate reminders so you never miss a deadline

Your Next Step

The right tools don’t just make GovCon easier — they make it possible. Without them, you’re guessing. With them, you’re running a business that looks and operates like a prime contractor.
