Item Specification Composer
Compose tender-ready contract packages from libraries, not outdated projects.
Item numbering, standard references, provision layout, addenda markups, and export styles are handled for you. Build from your own libraries and the built-in Public Standards Directory, then export in the formats bidders and clients expect.

What it does
From standards search to a linked special provision to the exported tender package.
- The schedule fills itself in
Search your item library, the Public Standards Directory, or past projects, and drop results into the schedule with units and rates set.
- Best work carries forward
Saved items return with units, rates, and provision language intact.
- Standards linked, not retyped
Link an item to OPSS, a state DOT section, or a municipal standard with a pinned version, and its special provision reference line is generated.
- Addenda without the scramble
Mark a changed item under an addendum label and the re-issued export highlights it in red with an addenda summary.
Built for tenders
Purpose-built for how tender documents actually go out.
Template library
Items, rates, and provision language accumulate in a library your organization owns and reuses on every tender.
Public Standards Directory built in
Search 60,000+ standards and drawings from 690+ publishers and link a version-pinned reference straight from the schedule.
Addenda marked and highlighted
Mark a changed item under an addendum label and re-issued exports highlight it in red with an addenda summary.
Tender exports
Export to PDF, Excel, or CSV, including formats built for bidsandtenders.ca, Biddingo, and MERX postings.
