Civic IQ
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, RFPs and agency spending across 100,000+ state, local and education (SLED) agencies, and flags buying signals months before an RFP goes out.
Most vendors hear about a project when the RFP is published, and by then the specs are often written around someone else. Civic IQ catches the earlier moment: a city council approving budget, a school board discussing a replacement, a county asking staff to research options. That gives your team 6 to 18 months to get in front of the right people.
Teams use it for pre-RFP signals from city, county, state, K-12 and higher ed meetings, open RFP search, competitor tracking, agency decision-maker contacts and daily email alerts. The Civic IQ MCP also lets you query it from Claude or ChatGPT.
Built for sales and BD teams selling to the public sector, and often used as an alternative to GovSpend or Starbridge.
