Common questions

RenovationRoute vs GovWin IQ: FAQ

How much does GovWin IQ cost?

Deltek does not publish GovWin IQ prices. Civic IQ, citing Vendr transaction data, reports $13,000 to $119,000 a year with an average near $29,000, and $6,000 to $13,000 for a single entry-level user. RenovationRoute is $20 a month, and the bid list is free.

Is RenovationRoute a GovWin IQ alternative for construction?

For construction firms that bid what posts on SAM.gov, yes. It reads federal construction solicitations and flags disqualifiers. It does not track work before it posts or include agency contacts, and its state and local coverage is narrower than GovWin IQ's 100,000+ jurisdictions.
