Federal Contract Win Rate Calculator

Answer 5 quick questions to estimate your federal contract win rate — and see how top performers stack up.

Step 1 of 5

How many contractors typically bid on your target contracts?

Fewer competitors = higher win rate. This is one of the biggest levers in federal contracting.

Step 2 of 5

Are you competing as a set-aside eligible business?

Set-aside certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) dramatically shrink your competition pool.

Step 3 of 5

How much past federal contract experience do you have?

Past performance is a top evaluation factor in most federal Source Selection processes. It compounds over time.

Step 4 of 5

How do you price your bids relative to the competition?

Federal contracting favors competitive pricing, but racing to the bottom is rarely the answer — value-based pricing wins on quality requirements.

Step 5 of 5

How thorough is your proposal development process?

Federal proposals are evaluated on volume and clarity — a generic or incomplete proposal is the #1 reason qualified contractors lose.
