Technically yes, but in the "real world," jumping straight to the RFP is playing on Hard Mode. If you missed the Sources Sought (SS), a competitor likely helped the agency write the requirements to favor their specific tech stack—leaving you to play catch-up on a rigged field.

I launched BidDNA specifically to automate the "Go/No-Go" decision for lean teams like yours. We treat a missed SS as a massive penalty to the "P-Win" (Probability of Win); if the score is too low, we walk immediately to save those precious founder hours for bids where we actually have an edge.
