Overview

RFP Compass is an end-to-end pipeline for winning regulated procurement work. It pulls from SAM.gov, HigherGov, GovCon, NYSCR, and RFPMart, dedupes and scores by company fit, then walks an analyst through qualification, drafting, compliance shredding, and submittable export. Every claim is grounded in the company's own library with hard citations.

Inside the system

Capabilities, in plain language.

01

Discovery and fit scoring

Sweeps five federal and state opportunity feeds, dedupes, and scores each RFP 0 to 10 against the company's capability profile. Filters by NAICS, set-aside, due date, dollar value, and fit.

02

Qualification with citations

Six-factor Go/No-Go assessment plus deep risk analysis: red flags, capability gaps, competitive concerns, material obligations. Every finding ties back to a specific clause in the RFP.

03

Guided response workspace

A nine-step path that never leaves you wondering what is next. Multi-user with project roles, section comments, presence indicators, optimistic concurrency, and an activity log.

04

Draft generation

A 16-section blueprint that adapts to the RFP's own structure when it specifies one. Drafts each section from workspace docs, the document library, and structured data, with per-section regenerate.

05

Questionnaire mode (DDQ)

Upload XLSX or CSV, auto-detect the question column, bulk-answer with RAG over the library, edit or regenerate per cell, export a filled XLSX.

06

Admin and cost control

API cost tracking per model, feature, and user, system health, user management, and scoped danger-zone actions.
