Pricing & BOQ Intelligence

CLIN extraction, BOQ takeoff, labor rate benchmarking, and drawing analysis - your complete pricing engine

Pricing and BOQ Intelligence is Bidovate's unified pricing feature combining CLIN extraction, BOQ takeoff, labor rate benchmarking, drawing analysis, and historical pricing comparison. For IT and professional services contracts, the system extracts the complete CLIN/sub-CLIN structure from Section B. For construction and infrastructure solicitations, it extracts Bills of Quantities with physical quantities from solicitation documents, specification sections, and engineering drawings.

Key Capabilities

What it does

CLIN/Sub-CLIN Structure Extraction

Identifies all CLINs, sub-CLINs, and optional line items from Section B with descriptions, contract types (FFP, T&M, cost-plus), base and option period structures, and handles complex multi-CLIN solicitations.

BOQ and Physical Quantity Extraction

Reads Bills of Quantities with physical quantities and unit measurements (cubic yards, tons, linear feet), material specifications, and multi-trade BOQs covering electrical, mechanical, civil, and structural sections.

Labor Rate Benchmarking

GSA CALC API integration with 10,000+ rate records showing the full distribution (25th, 50th, 75th, 90th percentile) per labor category with location-adjusted and clearance-adjusted suggestions.

Drawing and Specification Analysis

Analyzes construction drawing PDFs (up to 300 sheets), classifies by discipline, extracts measurable quantities, matches against BOQ, and flags drawing-specification conflicts with auto-generated pre-bid questions.

How it Works

Simple steps to get started

1

Upload the solicitation package

Include Section B, attachments, pricing templates, and construction drawings.

2

AI extracts the complete pricing structure

CLIN/sub-CLIN structure or BOQ with all associated data is extracted automatically.

3

Review AI-suggested labor rates and historical pricing

GSA CALC rates and USAspending award data together show the full market picture.

4

Export to government-format Excel

The populated pricing worksheet is ready for your cost team.

Why it Matters

The problem this solves

Pricing is where government contracts are won or lost. The labor rate benchmarking engine queries the GSA CALC API to suggest market-competitive rates for every labor category across 10,000+ records, while USAspending historical pricing shows what agencies have actually paid. Reduces pricing worksheet setup from 4-8 hours to under 10 minutes.
