WHY GOVDASH PRICER
Most pricing tools start with a blank spreadsheet. GovDash starts with the RFP. That's a different starting point, and a more accurate one.
GovDash infers required materials the solicitation implies but doesn't list. You catch what a manual read misses.
Every cost line traces to a work pack ge and a rate. That traceability is what source selection auditors and COs ask for.
No locked fields. No hidden constraints. Every LCAT, every hour, every element assignment is yours to change.
WBS, hours, BOE, and cost elements are one connected workflow. No re-entry, no reconciliation between steps.
Profit is excluded from the BOE by design. Cost elements map to government category standards. Compliance is built in.
