The whole capture pipeline for 8(a) and SDB firms: AI fit scoring across SAM.gov + 21 agency forecasts, award & sub-award intelligence, teaming-partner match with one-click outreach, and proposal drafting from your past performance — plus the only built-in 50% rule (FAR 52.219-14) check, at a fraction of the $30k incumbents.
Three intelligence layers, one fluid flow. PursuitAI watches every $50M+ contract expiring at your target agencies, maps the prime's subcontractor mesh as teaming candidates, then drafts your proposal section by section against the real solicitation.
Move opportunities through your pipeline as the story develops. Log capture meetings, set RFP deadlines, record debrief outcomes — your team sees the same board in real time, with nothing falling through the cracks.
Discovery, fit scoring, teaming, pricing, proposal drafting, set-aside compliance, and post-award — the whole capture lifecycle in one system, so your team stops stitching together five tools and a spreadsheet.
From opportunity discovery to proposal submission, PursuitAI accelerates every step of the GovCon capture lifecycle.
Auto-import from SAM.gov plus agency forecasts from DHS APFS and 20 more federal agencies (HHS, DOE, DOT, NASA, EPA, HUD, State, USACE, and more) — each categorized by source — and pull GSA eBuy RFQs. Filter by agency, set-aside, notice type, deadline window, and place of performance. Automated weekly ingest keeps forecasts fresh.
A dedicated Grants surface fed nightly from Grants.gov — federal assistance opportunities alongside your contract pipeline, never buried inside it. A for-profit-eligibility heuristic reads Grants.gov's applicant-type rules and flags the funding a small business can actually go after, with a badge and a one-click filter.
Claude AI scores every opportunity across 5 dimensions — NAICS match, set-aside eligibility, vehicle holder status, technical alignment, and competitive position. Each score is specific to your company, and grounded in real signals: your incumbency at the exact sub-agency (USCIS vs. DHS-writ-large), that component's small-business goal gap, and your own team's win/loss history.
One go/no-go verdict pinned to the top of every opportunity. The Decide panel composes the signals you already have — fit and its strongest and weakest dimensions, who actually wins at this sub-agency and where you rank, competitive intensity, agency affinity, the response clock, and set-aside eligibility — into a single call: Strong pursuit, Pursue with caution, or Reconsider. It reads your existing data, so it never spends a credit; before you've run the AI Bid/No-Bid it shows a deterministic lean and points you to it. Decide in seconds instead of digging through tabs.
Have an SBA-approved Mentor-Protégé Agreement? Record your JV once and PursuitAI unlocks the set-asides it can win — a JV can bid any set-aside the protégé qualifies for, even with a large mentor (13 CFR 125.9). A "My JV can pursue" filter + a "JV-eligible" badge surface them; JV-aware scoring lifts the set-aside cap and credits the mentor's agency experience + NAICS reach; a read-only Partner page pulls the mentor's public award footprint + past performance by UEI; and proposals can cite the mentor's contracts. Built-in workshare (protégé ≥40%) + 8(a) JV-agreement compliance. No competitor models your JV's inherited eligibility.
Track Sources Sought / Special Notices in your NAICS space with industry-day event extraction. Start capture 6-12 months before the RFP drops — sister surface to Recompete Radar for the pre-RFP window. Auto-extracted dates, locations, and registration links.
Scan USASpending for federal contracts expiring in 6-36 months in your NAICS space. Filter by agency and sub-agency. Start capture 12+ months before the RFP drops — zero AI credits.
Set fire-and-forget filters on opportunities + forecasts. We email you the moment new SAM.gov / APFS items match — no need to keep checking. Tier-aware alert frequency; one click jumps from email to the scored card. Available on Pro and up.
Morning briefing on the home tab summarizes new high-fit opportunities, deadline-pressing pursuits, and overnight teaming-target activity. Monday-AM weekly digest emails the same thing for users who live in inbox-first workflows.
Every response deadline, industry day, and contract option-year date on one calendar — plus a one-click .ics feed that syncs straight into Outlook, Google, or Apple Calendar so the dates that matter live next to the rest of your week. The feed link is revocable at any time.
Nightly USAspending sync of post-award federal contracts in your NAICS space — scored across 7 relevance signals (tracked partners, competitor predictions, Recompete Radar matches, vehicle-holder overlap, agency past-perf, direct NAICS, agency forecasts). Weekly Claude-drafted digest emailed every Monday morning. Truthful framing with FAR 4.604 reporting-lag disclosure.
Find the primes who actually subcontract to small businesses in your NAICS — ranked by dollars, filterable by set-aside, with a one-click Claude-drafted teaming email grounded in their sub-award history and your past performance. The GovWin capability your tier used to pay $20K/year for.
Every other tool helps you find partners — this one lets partners find you. Opt into the Subcontractor Directory and primes assembling a team can discover your firm by NAICS, set-aside certification (8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, HUBZone), and state, with your capabilities and past performance one click away. The one direction the rest of the market doesn't run.
Search 9,000+ contract vehicle holders across 14 GWACs (STARS III, CIO-SP3, Polaris, Alliant 2, SEWP VI, GSA MAS). Predict competitors by NAICS + agency history from FPDS data. An opt-in AI strategic read turns the landscape into plain English — market concentration, incumbent vulnerability, the top threats for this bid, and where to position. Every partner you pull up is screened live against the SAM.gov exclusions registry, so a debarred firm gets flagged before you team with it.
Don't just find who holds the vehicle — find who's actually won. Every teaming partner is joined to real federal award records, so you see their award-type mix (new contracts vs. task orders on vehicles you could hold too), the agencies and NAICS they've won in, and how competitive their wins were. Filter partners to exactly those who've won at your target agency in your NAICS, then click any signal to jump straight to the backing awards. One live signal across Sub-Award Intel, the teaming search, and the partner drawer.
Price against what the government actually paid the incumbent, not a market average. Per-contract recommendations anchored to USAspending obligations, tweakable undercut %, scope-reduction slider, and LCAT rates pulled from GSA CALC + eLibrary — the incumbent's or your own published GSA-Schedule rates, dropped straight into RFQ responses and proposal cost narratives so you never re-key a rate. Now also anchored to BLS OEWS labor wages (mean / median / 25th / 75th percentile, annual + hourly across 30 GovCon occupations), with an opt-in AI read that recommends a bid posture — aggressive, at-market, or premium — with the rationale and risks behind it.
A nightly watch on the Federal Register for acquisition rules across all of 48 CFR — FAR, DFARS, and agency supplements. See the proposed and final rule changes that reshape how you bid, filtered to the agencies you sell to, before they hit the street. Keyless daily ingest; a Pro-tier intelligence signal the generic tools don't carry.
Protest decisions from two venues now — GAO and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims — with agency, solicitation, and outcome extracted by Claude, plus docket and decision links. One venue toggle switches between them. Filter by protester, B-number, agency, solicitation, or status to gauge protest risk on a vehicle you pursue or check whether an award you're watching is contested. Refreshed daily.
See which agencies you're best positioned to win in — a deterministic 0-100 score per agency built from your traction, in-NAICS demand, set-aside fit, and each agency's small-business goal gap (how far they're trailing their SBA goaling pace). Tells you where to point your capture effort, with the evidence behind every score. A prioritization signal, never a win probability. Pro and up.
Follow the federal money in your NAICS — who's buying, which agencies are spending, and how the trend is moving — straight from USASpending. Size a market and validate real demand before you commit capture dollars.
Disagree with a fit score? Correct it once, and PursuitAI folds your reasoning into how it scores the next opportunity — your dispute feedback feeds future scoring instead of vanishing. The AI is tunable to your firm's judgment, not a fixed black box.
One audited run drives a pursuit end-to-end — fit, eligibility, a bid/no-bid gate, requirements, compliance matrix, outline, draft, a color-team-review gate, pricing/BOE, and handoff — each step using the tool you'd run by hand. A deterministic sequence is the guardrail; Claude only advises the next move. Hard human gates are never auto-crossed, there's a per-run budget, and it never auto-submits.
Upload an RFP, RFQ, or RFI packet — PDF cover + XLSX pricing template + DOCX amendments — and Claude returns a structured compliance matrix, evaluation criteria, key personnel, contract terms, and Q&A pairs in one pass. Multi-file support; one AI credit per run.
Generate proposal outlines, capture plans, compliance matrices, and bid/no-bid recommendations — all grounded in your named past performance contracts. Export to Word. Full multi-section proposal-draft generation is available on Pro Plus and up.
Build a priced cost volume, not just a target. Define or upload a labor rate card, auto-match the required LCATs extracted from the RFQ, then compute a full Basis of Estimate — rate × hours × escalation × wrap × ODC, with discounts — checked against GSA CALC labor ceilings and the solicitation's ceiling/period of performance for realism. Export a stakeholder-safe BOE to Word, and feed the numbers into the proposal's price narrative.
For active 8(a) firms: generate the package you send a contracting officer to support a directed 8(a) sole-source award — the regulatory-basis, responsible-source, and agency-benefit narratives plus a draft letter to the CO, grounded in your past performance and live 8(a) program standing. A built-in FAR 19.805-1 threshold check ($4.5M services / $7.0M manufacturing) stamps every package so it never claims authority you don't have, and re-frames as a competitive-8(a) case above the ceiling. Past-performance citations are guarded against hallucination. The directed-award play no competitor automates.
Generate a branded multi-page capability statement in 8 seconds. Company logo, technical capabilities by theme, representative engagements with outcomes — all grounded in your real past performance.
Add, edit, and export your contract history as branded DOCX documents. Share individual records or your full portfolio with teaming partners via one tap on mobile. Promote a won contract into the library and a "Draft with AI" step writes a grounded past-performance summary from the contract and its latest CPARS — restating only the facts on file, so you never start from a blank box.
Turn a résumé into a proposal-ready key-personnel write-up. For each candidate, Claude drafts a tailored bio and builds a requirement→evidence qualifications matrix — every solicitation requirement marked meets, partial, or gap with the résumé line that proves it — plus an honest list of gaps to shore up. Grounded strictly in the résumé, never invented. Save résumés to a reusable library, export a combined Key-Personnel volume to Word, and import a candidate straight into the proposal.
Receive an RFP attachment in Mail, Slack, or Files? Tap Share → PursuitAI. The mobile share extension drops the doc into your tracked opportunity and auto-fires the right Claude analyzer (compliance matrix for RFPs, Q&A extractor for Q&A packets, RFI / RFQ extractors for those). Zero context-switching.
Track opportunities from discovery to award with a probability-weighted pipeline value — set each pursuit's contract value and win odds, and (as a sub) your work-share % so the forecast reflects YOUR slice, not the whole award. Capture win/loss debriefs that feed back into future bid/no-bid recommendations. Voice notes with AI transcription for hands-free capture.
The CFO/owner view of your book of business: set an annual new-business goal and see pipeline coverage against it, a weighted forecast by quarter, your top contributors, at-risk pursuits (each with the reason it's flagged), and win/loss rates by agency, set-aside, and value band — drawn from your own debriefs, with sample sizes shown so you never over-read a thin cohort. One click exports a board-ready PDF. Pro Plus and up.
Run the teaming side of every pursuit in one place: add the subs you're leading (or the prime you're under) from your saved partners, GSA vehicle holders, DSBS, or a SAM.gov UEI lookup; record each one's workshare, scope, and pricing arrangement; and track the relationship through identify → commit → win/loss. A live self-perform-vs-subs rollup feeds straight into the 50% subcontracting check, and outcomes follow your pipeline stage automatically. Pro and up.
An encrypted document vault for NDAs, teaming agreements, past-performance write-ups, and proposal drafts — attached to an opportunity or kept account-wide. Each file is encrypted with your organization's own key before it's stored, so platform staff see metadata, never contents. In-app preview without download, role-gated download (view-but-not-download enforced at the storage layer), and a full access audit log. Storage scales by tier (0.5 / 5 / 25 / 100 GB).
Bring your PursuitAI pipeline into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and any MCP client. Mint a read-only access token and just ask — "what new DoD opportunities scored above 80 this week?", "what's in my pipeline?", "which agencies do I win with most?" Built on the Model Context Protocol, tokens are read-only and scoped to your organization: they can browse your opportunities, pipeline, global search, and agency-affinity intelligence, but never change anything or spend AI credits. Revoke any token in one click. Pro and up.
Long-form team threads on every tracked opportunity, plus structured Color-Team proposal reviews — Blue (strategy & compliance), Pink (structure & narrative), Red (evaluator perspective), Green (pricing & cost), Gold (executive approval), White (final polish) — with reviewer assignment and recorded sign-offs. @-mention teammates, drop in citation chips from past performance records, or invoke @pursuitai inline to ask Claude a context-aware question. Activity timeline + push notifications keep the whole capture team in sync. @pursuitai inline AI is an Enterprise capability.
Owner / Admin / Member / Viewer roles with cross-feature permission gates. Enterprise tier ships with per-seat billing and proration — add a teammate mid-cycle and only pay for the days remaining. Super-admin audit log records every mutation with actor + IP + result.
A companion app for organizations on a paid plan (Pro and above). Generate proposal outlines and capture plans on the go. View and share past performance and capability statements from the native share sheet. Biometric unlock. 5 color themes including CVD-safe.
One search bar finds anything — opportunities, your post-award contracts, secure documents, proposal drafts, debrief notes — and 70+ in-app how-to guides covering every feature, every AI model decision, and the math behind every score, each cross-linked to its walkthrough video. Updated continuously: every PR that ships a feature ships a KB article alongside. Self-service onboarding without a sales call.
Ask PursuitAI anything — a built-in Claude assistant that knows the platform and your pipeline, points you to the right tab, and answers "how do I…" without docs-diving or a support ticket.
Built for firms that get security-reviewed: TOTP two-factor login, biometric unlock on mobile, per-organization encryption keys on stored documents, role-based access control, and an auditable action log across the platform.
Know exactly where your firm stands in the 9-year 8(a) term: a developmental-vs-transitional stage badge, a term progress clock, eligibility time remaining, your next SBA annual-review date, and stage-aware alerts (line up backup set-asides under 2 years out, urgent under 6 months, graduation guidance once the term ends). Deterministic rules over your SBA DSBS dates — no AI, no credit cost — with a deep link to your official SBA certification record. The 8(a)/SDB lifecycle no competitor tracks.
The Limitations on Subcontracting calculator (FAR 52.219-14). Model your prime/sub split — counting similarly-situated entities correctly — for a compliant / at-risk / over-limit verdict against the 50% (services & supplies), 85% (general construction), or 75% (specialty construction) threshold, before you sign — evaluated across the base period and each option year separately, since a plan can pass on the total yet fail a single year. A dollar-headroom solver tells you how much more you can sub before tripping the cap and which partner to make similarly-situated (or drop) to recover the most. Seeds straight from your committed teaming workshare, and a "Build a Team to Qualify" engine shows what blocks you from bidding alone and which partners close each gap. For Mentor-Protégé JVs, verify the protégé's workshare (≥40% per 13 CFR 125.8(c)) in the same analysis. The 8(a)/SDB set-aside compliance edge no competitor matches.
A Mentor-Protégé joint venture runs on dates that end deals when missed. PursuitAI tracks three clocks off your JV record — the MPA expiring, the SBA annual-review window, and an unapproved active-JV agreement — surfaced as red/amber banners on the JV card and sent as a nightly push + email, deduped so each step fires once. Opt out per user. It's a reminder, not legal advice.
After you win, manage the whole contract lifecycle: modifications, CDRL deliverables with status tracking, and CPARS performance ratings — with an AI drafter that turns your six factor ratings into a grounded, editable performance narrative (no invented metrics). Export a letterhead contract + CPARS summary to Word for your past-performance file, and promote a completed contract straight into your Past Performance library so your next proposal is grounded in real, recent work.
When a pursuit moves from capture to delivery, generate a one-page handoff that captures the whole picture — the proposal, color-team reviews, pricing, and teaming arrangement — and auto-saves it as a PDF in Secure Documents, named by the opportunity. The full context travels with the win into execution, encrypted and shared with the team.
