Launch AnchorBid

Firm-Fixed-Price bids, built the way high-tech manufacturers actually price them.

Actuals-based costing, learning curves, complexity scoring, and a full proposal package — free, in your browser, no account needed. Faster and harder to get wrong than Excel.

Launch AnchorBid No signup. No install. Your data stays in your browser — nothing leaves it unless you turn on optional AI features.

Actuals-based pricing

Log what past jobs really cost, and new line items auto-suggest a baseline from your own history — drop in a CSV export from Deltek Costpoint or any spreadsheet, messy headers and all.

Learning curve & complexity scoring

Standard learning-curve discounts for production quantities, plus a deterministic six-question complexity assessment for what's different this time — no guessing at multipliers.

AI-assisted SOW/RFQ import

Paste a Statement of Work or RFQ and get a draft list of line items and compliance requirements to review. Optional, and it never invents a price — a human always signs off on cost.

Full proposal package

Executive summary, compliance matrix, schedule, and a Basis-of-Estimate narrative per line item — one print-ready document, not five spreadsheets.

Who it's for

Any high-tech manufacturer or hardware supplier that has to justify a Firm-Fixed-Price or cost-type quote instead of just naming a number — aerospace & industrial suppliers, electronics contract manufacturers (EMS), medical device contract manufacturers, EV & battery supply chain, and non-sensitive defense subcontracting.
