One agent.
Your agent works the full government contracting lifecycle for one business: yours. It prepares; you decide.
Checks 80+ programs, prepares the applications
Brief your agent once on ownership, location, and industry. It screens every federal, state, and local certification program, ranks your strongest matches, names each gap, then assembles the document list and prepares the application answers for you to review. No procurement jargon required.
Triages what is worth your time
Your agent watches the federal feed every day, scores each solicitation against your business, runs a Go/No-Go on the best fits, and builds a capture pack: attachments read, landmines flagged (wage determinations, subcontracting limits, bonding), award history pulled, questions for the contracting officer drafted.
Never let anything lapse
Certifications expire. SAM.gov registrations expire. Most small businesses find out when they lose a bid. Your agent watches every certification, registration, and insurance deadline, prepares the renewal before it is due, and verifies your SAM.gov record. SAM.gov registration is free, and the agent never charges for it.
Drafts the proposal, you set the price
From a Go decision, your agent writes a winning outline mapped to the evaluation criteria, waits for your approval, then writes the proposal section by section and checks it against every "shall" and "must" in the solicitation. Pricing stays yours: the agent shows what similar work was awarded for, and never sets your number.
It does the work.
Most businesses see their first certification matches in under 3 minutes. The agent takes it from there, and asks before anything consequential.
Brief your agent
Ownership, location, industry, size. Plain questions, no procurement jargon. Your agent turns the answers into eligibility signals across every program we track, and verifies your SAM.gov record against the source.
Approve what it prepares
The agent picks the certifications worth pursuing, assembles the documents, prepares the application answers, and flags the disqualifiers. You review each card, edit if you like, and submit. It never signs or attests for you.
Let it work every day
Your certifications are live. The agent keeps them current, watches every renewal, triages the federal, state, county, and city opportunities your credentials unlock, and drafts the outreach and proposals. You approve; it keeps going.
