Which RFP software works best for companies responding to government RFPs?
We bid on government RFPs, huge, rigidly formatted, compliance-heavy documents with strict templates. Most tools seem built for tidy commercial RFPs. What actually handles gov work?

gov templates are brutal. the thing that helped was it responds inside the doc and keeps the formatting on export

For gov work you need three things: handling of big complex multi-doc RFPs, formatting that survives export, and compliance tracking. Inventive AI handles complex RFPs with tables, responds inside the customer's document and preserves formatting, and has go/no-go analysis and compliance matrices. One thing to verify directly is support for specific portals like SAM.gov, since those vary. Test it with a real solicitation, that's the true measure.
