What you get here
Included on every plan. Missing, half-built or paid extra elsewhere.
Every platform in this market promises the same three things: one platform, AI drafts, win more. So read this the way an evaluator reads a proposal - row by row.
Included means on every ProposalWorkspace plan, from the first day of your trial.
Elsewhere you would build it by hand, buy it as a module, or go without.
Coming soon marks what is researched and planned but not yet shipped, and the last group is where others are still ahead - you should hear both from us, not from a security review.

Finding the work
Federal and state notices in one feed
Every SAM.gov notice, synced daily, plus state and local bids from across the US - state agencies, counties, cities and school districts - scored against your NAICS, PSC, set-asides and past performance, so a two-person shop sees the same field a large BD team sees.
All of SAM.gov, plus state and local bids nationwide
Federal on all; state on some, often as a separate product
Portal by portal, by hand
Forecasts and closed portals
Agency forecasts, eBuy and predicted recompetes, so capture can start before the notice posts.

Market intelligence - coming soon
Spending intelligence pinned to the pursuit
Who the agency has bought from, at what value, on which vehicle, drawn from federal award data - and one click pins the finding into the capture worksheet as a cited row, so the intelligence and the proposal live in the same place.
Coming soon
Intelligence and proposal kept in separate modules, or a separate product
USAspending in one tab, a spreadsheet in another
Recompete radar ranked by how open the door is
Contracts ending in your NAICS, ranked by how exposed the incumbent is - options running out, thin competition, a high protest rate - so capture starts where the opening is real, not just where the date is soonest.
Coming soon
A date-sorted list of expiring contracts, on some
Contractor head-to-head, and the offices that buy from new names
Compare two competitors on the same agencies and vehicles, and see which contracting offices award to first-time vendors - two questions a capture manager asks first, and absent from the four intelligence platforms we reviewed.

Before the RFP drops
Start working a pursuit before the RFP exists
Most awards are shaped in the sources-sought and RFI window. Each pre-award stage gets its own response worksheet, and the pursuit graduates into the final RFP with nothing re-entered.
Four pre-award stages, built in
Pipeline stages to move cards through; no response worksheets
A bid/no-bid decision you can defend
Chasing the wrong RFP costs a small team a month. Any showstopper blocks the bid, a weighted scorecard recommends GO at 70 and above, you record the call with your reasons, and your past decisions pre-fill the next worksheet with the source named.
Scored recommendation, every factor page-cited
A questionnaire and an approval gate; the score is typed in by hand
A scoring spreadsheet
Capture planning with ghosting and threat ratings
Evaluators score against Section M, so every win theme is tied to the factor it must win. Competitors are rated high, medium or low with the ghosting line written down.
Seven structured capture tables
Free-text questions; no competitor or ghosting model

Building the proposal
ProposalWorkspace is the new home of Fed-Support: the same proposal team, more than 15 years of federal proposal experience, now built into one AI workspace you use every day.
An outline built the way GovCon experts build it
The structure our proposal experts have delivered for more than 15 years: every numbered instruction becomes a heading, the conditional and optional ones too, with the RFP's own wording under each and a self-check before you see it.
From this RFP's own instructions
Auto-assigned section types you then fill in yourself
A compliance matrix that reads L, M and C together
To the standard our experts have delivered for more than 15 years: each requirement mapped to the instruction, the evaluation language and the SOW line at once, with deliverables, required plans and forms to sign - for federal, state and local solicitations.
Owner and compliance call on every row, live roll-up
Mirrors the outline; federal shape only
By hand, row by row
A submission checklist pulled from the solicitation
The way our experts have checked submissions for more than 15 years: due date and time zone, portal or email, file naming, size caps, page limits, amendments to acknowledge and who signs, each with a status.
A status on every item, exports to Word
Not offered
A generic checklist
AI drafts that only cite what you own
When the AI drafts a volume it writes from your Company Library - past performance, certifications, resumes, win themes - and marks each claim with the record it came from. A citation that does not match a real record is removed before the draft saves. Where the library has no evidence for something the RFP asks, the draft shows a gap block naming what is missing, with a link to add it. Evaluators verify claims; a visible gap costs you nothing, an invented one costs the bid.
Checked before every save
Citations shown; whether they are checked is not documented
Amendments that never cost you a day of rework
Upload the amendment and the workspace reads it against your outline, compliance matrix and checklist, then lists every change - new due date, changed page limit, replaced attachment - with the amendment number. Each lands as a tracked change you accept or reject, a ledger shows which amendments the proposal is conformed through, and a new due date updates the calendar, emails the team and creates the acknowledgment task.
Nothing you wrote is lost
The outline is regenerated and your writing plans are overwritten
Compare by eye
Questions to the contracting officer, drafted and tracked
Question day comes fast. Ambiguities are drafted into questions with every quote checked, and the official answers are matched back to what you asked.
Q&A Center on every proposal
Q&A exists only as a document you upload
An evaluator's read of your draft before the evaluator's
Pick a drafted section and the requirement it answers in the compliance matrix. The AI reads it the way a source selection evaluator reads it and returns Pass, Warning or Fail with the reasoning and a suggested compliance status. Fix the gaps before Red Team, not after the award notice.
On any drafted section
Rewrites of selected text only
Working inside Microsoft Word
A ProposalWorkspace panel inside Word, Excel and PowerPoint: twelve pre-flight checks over the open document, page limits section by section, your Company Library, and AI edits that land as Word tracked changes.
Included - Word, Excel and PowerPoint
A rewrite-style add-in on some
It is Word
Staffing the bid
The documents that keep a bid from being thrown out
A missing Letter of Commitment or a resume in the wrong format is disqualifying. The job description, the mandated resume format and the LOC are generated as Word files from what the RFP specifies.
Generated for every position
Not offered
A resume review with a hard pass or fail
A candidate who quietly fails a "shall" fails the bid. Required items gate pass or fail, strong desirables cannot hide a miss, and the suggested redline never invents experience.
Callback list for the candidate
A match score
A recruiter portal by secure link
When the bench is short, an outside recruiter gets a link - no account - to download the JD and format and upload candidates.
No login for the recruiter

After you submit
A debrief that turns into lessons
FAR 15.506 gives you a debrief; most teams never write it down. Record it, upload the letter, and the AI drafts lessons with root cause and recommendation for your review.
Knowledge Library across every proposal
Ends at an outcome flag and an archive
Why you won or lost, in a form you can analyze
13 win reasons and 16 loss reasons, with protest and BAFO as statuses, so the pattern across a year of bids is visible.
29 structured reasons

Working as a team
Chat, calls and meeting notes beside the proposal
Color-team calls and SME interviews happen where the draft is, and the Scribe turns decisions into tasks.

Before you subscribe
Straight answers
Is the trial really every feature?
Every feature except Generate Draft, on one proposal. Seven days, no credit card, no sales call. The trial covers one proposal, and each AI step on it - overview, analysis, bid/no-bid pre-fill, saving bid factors to the knowledge file, capture research, outline, checklist and compliance matrix - runs once, within the trial's AI credits. Generate Draft is available on a paid plan. When it ends your workspace and documents are kept for at least 30 days, so subscribing picks up where you left off.
What actually differs between Solo, Team and Enterprise?
Seats: 2, 8 and 25, and the monthly AI credit allowance: 700, 2,500 and 6,000. Features are the same on all three. Every plan adds seats at $69 per seat per month, $55 on annual billing, and each extra seat adds 350 AI credits a month.
Are there any other fees?
No setup fee, no per-proposal fee and no charge for the connector. One optional extra: AI credits. If your team uses up the month's included allowance, the built-in AI pauses until the next month unless you buy more from Settings - 500 credits for $25, 1,500 for $70 or 5,000 for $220. Purchased credits never expire and are only used once the month's included credits run out.
Every plan includes a monthly AI allowance - 700 credits on Solo, 2,500 on Team and 6,000 on Enterprise. The trial is different: 300 free AI credits for your trial period only. Your monthly AI credits depend on the plan you choose, and each extra seat adds 350 a month. Analysis, outlines, compliance checks, chat and drafting draw on it. Settings > AI Credits shows what is left and who used it.
Can I change plans later?
Add seats or move to a larger plan any time from Settings, prorated for the current period. Removing seats, moving to a smaller plan or switching to monthly billing takes effect at your next renewal.
Which AI powers the workspace?
The built-in AI is part of the product - no model choices, no API keys. Every extraction is page-cited, every draft cites records you own, every edit lands as a tracked change you approve. Separately, connect your own Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft 365 Copilot or Perplexity through the included MCP connector.
Does the MCP connector cost extra, or need a plan?
No. It is on every plan and the only gate is your login. Your assistant may have its own requirements: ChatGPT and Perplexity enable custom connectors on their paid plans, Claude on its paid plans, and Gemini or Microsoft 365 Copilot are connected once by your workspace admin.
Can I bring in a consultant for one proposal?
Yes. Temporary access adds a person to a single proposal, view-only or edit, with an expiry date. It uses one of your seats while it is active and frees it when the date passes, and they never see your other pursuits.
Monthly or annual, and what about refunds?
Both. Annual is 20% lower and billed once a year. Cancel any time from your account. Fees are not refunded once charged, which is why the trial is full-featured: decide before you pay.
Do you submit the proposal for me?
No. You get the files - Word, Excel, PDF - and a submission checklist pulled from the solicitation with the portal, naming, size and page rules. You submit as the solicitation instructs.
What do you not have?
No FedRAMP authorization and no SOC 2 report, so CUI-heavy work or a prime that requires either is not a fit yet. No enterprise single sign-on through SAML (Okta, Microsoft Entra) yet - your team signs in with Google or with email and a password. No cost-volume module. The table above says the same, in the last group.
30days to respond
vs
7days of trial
Under FAR 5.203(c), a new federal contract above the simplified acquisition threshold gets at least 30 days to respond, unless it is a commercial buy. Your whole trial fits inside that window, on a live pursuit.
300 free AI credits for your trial period only. Your monthly AI credits depend on the plan you choose.
Start the trial the day the RFP drops
Day 1Upload the RFP. The overview, bid/no-bid worksheet, outline, compliance matrix and submission checklist are generated and page-cited by the time you have read the cover letter.
Day 3Assign owners on the matrix, staff the key personnel positions, and draft from your own library.
Day 7Decide. Every trial feature has been used on real work, and the response window is still open.
No credit card. Every feature except Generate Draft. Bring your own AI.
