BidPulsar Analysis
A practical, capture-style breakdown of fit, requirements, risks, and next steps.
This notice titled “Forms & Guide” from “Montana official source 1” appears to be a resource page from the State Procurement Services Division (formerly State Procurement Bureau), not a solicitation. It provides the State of Montana Procurement Manual context and a large library of procurement forms/templates (e.g., RFP/IFB templates, standard terms, confidentiality, and conference guidelines) with downloadable attachments such as the IFB template and federal terms and conditions. The page also notes that the “2025 Procurement Guide will be released soon” and provides contact channels (spb@mt.gov and (406) 444-2575). There is no solicitation number, due date, NAICS, set-aside, or scope of work for vendor performance included in the brief, so this is not something to “bid” as-is.
Publish standardized procurement guidance and reusable forms/templates to help Montana agencies execute procurements under the Montana Procurement Act, covering the full procurement lifecycle (need identification through contract closeout) and providing related templates such as RFP/IFB documents, terms and conditions, and solicitation administration tools (e.g., Q&A template, pre-bid/proposal conference guidelines).
- No vendor deliverable scope is described; this is a public guidance/forms library page.
- If using this notice operationally: download and apply relevant templates (e.g., “Invitation for Bid (IFB) Template,” “Federal Terms and Conditions - Standard,” “Declaration for Request of Confidentiality,” “Pre-Bid/Proposal Conference Guidelines,” “Q & A Document (Sample)”) to future Montana solicitations.
- Monitor for release of the “2025 Procurement Guide” (mentioned as coming soon).
- For clarification/feedback on the guide: contact State Procurement Services Division at spb@mt.gov or (406) 444-2575 (as listed).
- Not applicable—no response instructions, solicitation number, or submission requirements are provided.
- Internal action items only: bookmark the page; download the templates relevant to your target Montana opportunities (e.g., IFB template, federal terms and conditions, confidentiality declaration, Q&A template, pre-bid/proposal conference guidelines).
Source coverage notes
Some notices publish limited source detail. Confirm these points before final bid/no-bid decisions.

FAQ
How do I use the Market Snapshot?
It summarizes awarded-contract behavior for the opportunity’s NAICS and sector, including a recent pricing band (P10–P90), momentum, and composition. Use it as context, not a guarantee.
Is the data live?
The signal updates as new awarded notices enter the system. Always validate the official award and solicitation details on SAM.gov.
What do P10 and P90 mean?
P10 is the 10th percentile award size and P90 is the 90th percentile. Together they describe the typical spread of award values.
