Responsiveness gate

The failures that get a proposal thrown out before anyone reads it. Entirely deterministic — no model touches these checks, because they are mechanical and unrecoverable.

Checks

Legal entity name resolveddisqualifying
Legal name is unset. Public records show these names in use: CTA Worldwide / Corporate Transportation Associates. Confirm which appears on the FMCSA record and W-9, then set legalName. Every form must carry that one.
All addenda acknowledgeddisqualifying
No addenda found in the documents provided. Re-check the portal - addenda are often issued after the base solicitation and are not always re-sent by email.
Submission deadlinedisqualifying
No parseable due date found. Confirm from the portal before investing drafting time.
Submission method knowndisqualifying
Method could not be determined from the documents. Portal submissions usually require vendor registration that can take days to approve - resolve this first.
Required forms attacheddisqualifying
No required forms detected. Verify by hand - form lists are often in an appendix the extractor may not have reached.
Page limit
No page limit stated.
Insurance limits meet minimumsdisqualifying
No insurance minimums extracted. Check the terms and conditions exhibit.
Fleet can meet stated capacity
No fleet-specific requirements extracted.
SAM.gov registration active
Does not appear to be a federal solicitation.
Mandatory requirements identified
No mandatory requirements extracted. That is unusual for a real solicitation and usually means extraction failed - re-run before trusting this.
Pre-bid meeting
Could not determine whether a pre-bid meeting is mandatory. Confirm.

Blockers that need CTA facts

  • Legal entity name. Public records show both CTA Worldwide and Corporate Transportation Associates. Bids get rejected on responsiveness for entity-name mismatches before evaluation. Set it to whichever appears on the FMCSA record and the W-9.
  • Insurance limits, USDOT, SAM UEI. All null in company-profile.ts. The gate reports NEEDS-INPUT rather than guessing — a wrong USDOT number on a filed proposal is worse than a blank one.
