The Autonomous RFP Bidder

Created by team Voyagers on November 23, 2025

I built this solution using IBM watsonx Orchestrate as the core agentic framework. Foundation Model: I selected the Llama-3-2-90b model for its strong reasoning capabilities. Knowledge Base (RAG): I utilized Orchestrate's Knowledge feature to ingest unstructured PDF data ('Risk Guidelines' and 'Product Catalogs'), allowing the agent to ground its answers in company policy. Agentic Reasoning: I implemented a ReAct (Reason + Act) style architecture. This forces the agent to 'think' in steps: first analyzing the user's prompt, then searching the Knowledge Base for compliance rules (rejecting bids under $10k), and finally performing calculations to generate a proposal. Tools & Content Generation: I leveraged the model's generative capabilities to autonomously draft professional email content directly within the chat interface, ensuring all proposals are ready for review before being sent.

"I think the application of the technology is very apparent in this tool. I know there are several AI tools like this being used in the marketplace now that are similar to this. I think the package would have been more powerful if you had an RFP document for the tool to evaluate."
