About TideIQ

Building the infrastructure that powers the next generation of government contracting

Our Mission

At TideIQ, we're transforming how organizations navigate the complex world of government contracting. We believe that accessing federal opportunities shouldn't require an army of compliance experts or months of manual verification.

Our AI-powered platform eliminates the friction between businesses and government contracts, automating the tedious eligibility checks that have historically kept innovative companies from participating in the $700 billion federal marketplace.

We're not just building APIs — we're democratizing access to public sector opportunities and empowering businesses to serve their country while growing their revenue.

Why We're Building This

Every year, thousands of innovative companies miss out on government contracts simply because they can't navigate the complex eligibility requirements. The current system favors incumbents with dedicated compliance teams, leaving smaller, more agile firms behind.

We've seen brilliant startups spend months trying to understand NAICS codes, size standards, and SAM registrations — only to discover they were eligible all along. We've watched enterprises lose millions because they couldn't verify subcontractor eligibility fast enough.

This isn't just inefficient — it's a barrier to innovation.

TideIQ exists to tear down these barriers. We're building the infrastructure that makes government contracting as accessible as any other B2B marketplace. Our APIs handle the complexity so businesses can focus on what they do best: delivering value to government agencies and taxpayers.

We're not just automating a process — we're democratizing an entire industry.
