BIDS

What is BIDS?
Many R&D organizations use information gathering tools such as O T As , BAAs, RFIs, SBIRs, sought
sources, white papers, etc. to collect and evaluate information in regards to their mission. The process has
traditionally been paper intensive and plagued with information dissemination and collection
problems….until now.

BIDS is a web accessible, secure, fully automated and paperless knowledge management application that
not only streamlines the dissemination and proposal gathering process but allows for real time on-line
evaluations while reducing the demand on personnel resources and maintaining the highest levels of
information security. BIDS is easily tailored to the “client’s process” to ensure process consistency.

BIDS allows our clients to:
• Post, gather and evaluate responses to OTAs, BAAs, RFIs
• Secure evaluation of submissions
• Integrate group evaluations for decision making

By using the BIDS application, leaders can efficiently and effectively manage the process without leaving
the office. Web accessibility not only provides a secure link to the information for the vendors and users but allows Management to quickly assess, control and obtain status reports, in real time. All from a single,
secure, browser-based console that moves when- and where-needed, leaves no footprint on the client’s IT structure and removes the need for expensive IT and networking support.
