Best Ways to Find RFPs for Your Business
Nov 7, 2025

Most teams know how to respond to RFPs. Few know how to find the right ones — consistently, efficiently, and before your competition does.
That’s why we built RFP Hunter, Settle’s free RFP discovery engine that surfaces high-quality opportunities for your business.
Let’s talk about how to actually find RFPs and how to make that process effortless.
RFP discovery is broken
If you’ve ever tried to build your own pipeline of open RFPs, you’ve probably run into this:
Endless government portals with outdated listings
Paid aggregator sites full of irrelevant bids
Broken feeds and Google alerts that pull junk
Zero visibility into private or invite-only opportunities
The result? Teams spend hours searching before they ever start responding.
Centralize discovery with RFP Hunter
RFP Hunter brings hundreds of public RFP we find (across government, enterprise, and industry sources) into one searchable feed.
You can:
Search by keyword, industry, or region
See summaries and key requirements instantly
Get alerts when new RFPs match your criteria (currently in beta, reach out to learn more)
Instead of toggling between ten browser tabs, you get a single, focused feed of opportunities that fit your business.
Where RFP Hunter pulls from
We aggregate and standardize RFPs across multiple open-source and public channels:
Federal & state procurement sites (e.g., SAM.gov, state procurement portals)
Municipal bid boards and local government pages
Industry-specific databases (IT, construction, professional services)
Corporate vendor opportunity pages
Each one is parsed, indexed, and summarized — so you can actually read what matters.
How to use RFP Hunter in your process
1. Define your targets
Identify your ICP: industry, deal size, geography, and service type.
Example: “IT managed services RFPs in California over $100k.”
2. Search & filter
Use RFP Hunter’s search or set alerts with your keywords (reach out to learn more).
You’ll get real-time updates as soon as new opportunities are posted.
3. Review & qualify fast
Click into each result to see the deadline, issuer, scope, and requirements.
If it’s a match, add it to your pipeline. If not, skip it.
4. Connect to Settle
When you’ve found a fit, push the RFP straight into the Settle platform to start extraction, answer generation, and collaboration instantly. You'll have a winning response out in no time!
Why it matters
Every RFP cycle starts with discovery. But if discovery takes hours, you’ll always be late to the table.
RFP Hunter compresses that to minutes — and gives smaller teams the same intelligence advantage as enterprises with dedicated bid teams.
Less hunting. More winning.
