Works in Chat, Cowork and Code
Contract opportunity discovery
Search live public sector tender databases to find contracts matching your company's capabilities before submission deadlines. Never miss a relevant opportunity by monitoring federal, state, and local procurement portals in one place.
Found 12 matching opportunities. Largest: $8.2M DISA contract for zero-trust network architecture consulting, deadline May 15. 4 under $500K suitable for small business set-asides. 3 have no published ceiling — recommend requesting Sources Sought responses for intel. Full list with links ready.
Incumbent and competitor research
Research who won the previous contract, what they were paid, and which companies are active in your target procurement space. Use government spending data to understand your competitive landscape before writing a single page.
Booz Allen Hamilton / VA contracts (past 3 years): 14 awards totaling $312M. Largest: IT modernization ($94M), healthcare analytics ($67M), cybersecurity ($48M). Primary NAICS codes: 541519, 541512. Incumbent on 6 contracts due for re-compete in the next 18 months — high-priority targets.
Compliance and certification research
Research the exact compliance and regulatory requirements for any procurement vehicle before investing in a bid response. Avoid wasting proposal effort on opportunities for which you are not yet compliant.
Air Force cloud prime requirements: FedRAMP High authorization required for DoD cloud (or CSP sponsorship active). DFARS 252.204-7012 applies (CUI protection). CMMC Level 2 required for contracts with controlled unclassified information. Timeline: FedRAMP High takes 12–18 months. Recommend assessing current posture against NIST 800-171 first.
Bid/no-bid decision research
Before committing resources to a complex bid response, research the agency's budget history, incumbent relationships, and procurement patterns to assess the realistic probability of winning.
HHS data analytics procurement analysis: 73% of similar contracts in past 3 years were won by incumbents (high retention agency). Current incumbent: MITRE Corp (contract extension history shows 3 consecutive renewals). No small business set-aside on this opportunity. Recommend go/no-go based on whether you have a differentiated team or HHS-specific past performance.
Proposal content development
Transform technical capability statements, past performance examples, and market research into compelling proposal narrative that scores well against evaluation criteria. Produce first drafts of key sections faster without sacrificing quality.
Draft management approach section: 480 words. Covers: governance structure with clear RACI, Agile delivery with PI planning cadence, risk management framework aligned to SEI CMMI Level 3, staffing retention commitments, and key personnel bios integration points.

Contract Opportunities searches live procurement databases from federal, state, and local agencies simultaneously. Filter by NAICS code, agency, contract value, and set-aside type to find relevant opportunities. You get the opportunity title, issuing agency, deadline, and direct link in one search.
How can I research who currently holds a contract before a re-compete?
Government Spending searches public contract award databases including USASpending.gov and FPDS. Enter the agency and service category to see current incumbents, award values, and contract history. This tells you who you're likely competing against and what the agency has historically paid.
How do I assess compliance requirements for federal contracting?
Deep Research compiles regulatory requirements from federal acquisition regulations, agency-specific supplements, and recent policy changes. For certifications like FedRAMP or CMMC, it surfaces the exact requirements, typical timelines, and what auditors focus on — giving you a realistic compliance gap assessment.
Can AI help write proposal sections?
Content Repurposer transforms your capability descriptions and past performance summaries into proposal narrative structured around standard federal evaluation criteria (Section L/M).
