Know What Expires, and Who Can Do the Work
Agents watch your own contracts for final options and periods of performance running out, so the follow-on starts in time. For each one they do the market research: who can do the work, what similar buys cost and whether the Rule of Two supports a set-aside.
No Gap in Coverage
Contracts nearing the end of their last option are flagged with the lead time the follow-on needs.
Market Research, Documented
SAM.gov, FPDS, the GSA eLibrary and SBA data, summarized in a FAR Part 10 report.
Set-Aside Decisions Supported
Capable small businesses are counted for the Rule of Two, for your small business specialist to review.
Every Proposal Checked Against Your Solicitation
Agents read your solicitation and list every requirement, each mapped to its section and its FAR or DFARS clause. Each proposal is checked against that list, so evaluators start from the gaps, not from page one.
Solicitation 75F-26-R-0142
Sections C, L and M
C.4.2 Hosting. R-01The contractor shall host all production workloads in a FedRAMP Moderate authorized environment.
C.4.5 Continuity. R-02The contractor shall maintain a recovery time objective of four hours or less.

A Compliance Matrix in Minutes
Requirements from Sections C, L and M, each linked to the sentence it came from.
Every Clause Mapped
FAR, DFARS, FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST SP 800-171 and Section 508, checked on every requirement.
Gaps Shown First
Missing and partial responses rise to the top, with the page where each should be.
Vendors Ranked on the Evidence
Agents pull past performance from CPARS, awards from FPDS, registration and exclusions from SAM.gov and financial signals, then score every vendor on the weights your evaluation plan sets. Every score shows its evidence.
Weights From Your Plan
Past performance, technical fit, price and risk, weighted the way your evaluation plan says.
Small Business Goals in View
8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB and HUBZone status is checked, so set-aside and subcontracting goals stay visible.
Your Evaluators Decide
Rankings inform the technical, price and past performance evaluators and the source selection authority. Award decisions are made and signed by people.
Every Invoice Checked Against the Contract
After award, agents read each invoice, timesheet and deliverable against the contract: labor categories, ceiling rates, hours and CLINs. Contracting officer’s representatives see what does not match, with the clause it breaks.
Rates and Hours Checked
Billed rates, hours and labor categories are compared with the contract on every line.
Cost and Schedule Watched
Spending, staffing and delivery dates are tracked against the plan, with overruns predicted early.
Findings With the Clause
Each finding names the contract section it breaks, ready for the COR to act on.

Built for Teams That Are Short on People
Procurement offices are understaffed for their workload. Agents take the repetitive work, so contracting staff spend their time on strategy, vendors and oversight.
Workforce Planning
Workload is forecast by office and quarter, and reallocation is suggested before service levels slip.
Risk Raised Early
Signs of CPARS issues, cost overruns and late delivery are raised while there is still time to act.
Ready for Year-End
The fourth-quarter surge runs through the same agents and the same review rules, without new hires.
Built for Federal Acquisition
Agents run in your environment, keep your people in charge of every decision, and keep your data out of model training.
Your Team Makes the Decisions
Agents research, extract, check and score. Program offices, contracting staff, small business specialists, legal, finance and evaluators each review what they own, and every approval is recorded under a name.
Your Data Never Trains a Model
Documents, tickets, conversations and contract data are used to do the work and nothing else.
Runs Inside Your Boundary
GovCloud, on-premises or air-gapped, with no external dependencies.
Evidence for Your ATO
Every agent action and human decision is recorded and maps to your control families.
The AI Provider You Approve
The model connection sits behind one interface, so you can use the provider your agency approves.
Configured, Not Coded
Rules, routes, sources and thresholds are settings your administrators can read and change.
