Template Examples
If you have a previously submitted proposal that has the stylistic elements mentioned above, this can be used as a foundation for our team during processing.
We can also use the template that you normally use when starting to write a proposal.
Template Processing
GovDash processes your template by replacing specific text within your template with tags that our system checks for when generating your proposal, and replaces those tags with content that’s relevant and referenced within the solicitation.
For example, we place tags for solicitation titles, solicitation numbers, buyer information, and more.
