Key Capabilities

What it does

SWOT Analysis Engine

Analyzes your contract history against the solicitation scope, identifying strengths (relevant contracts with strong CPARS ratings), weaknesses (experience gaps), opportunities (teaming partners), and threats (strong incumbents).

Past Performance Recommendations

Ranks your past performance references by relevance, recency, and rating against the solicitation's evaluation criteria, with draft narratives for each recommended contract.

CPARS Rating Tracking

Dashboard view of all CPARS ratings by contract and agency with trend analysis, alerts for due or completed evaluations, and benchmarking against industry averages.

Partnering Strategy Engine

Data-driven teaming recommendations using USAspending data to identify firms with complementary capabilities and established teaming histories, filtered by set-aside status and vehicle holdings.

Why it Matters

The problem this solves

Past performance is the most heavily weighted evaluation factor in most federal procurements. Yet assembling past performance volumes is tedious and error-prone. The partnering strategy engine uses USAspending teaming data to recommend partners based on capability alignment, not just existing relationships.
