GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING PROPOSAL SOFTWARE
Government Contracting Proposal Software for Lean GovCon Teams
CaptureIQ by SmartSolo connects SAM.gov opportunity discovery, deterministic qualification, market signals, and review-ready proposal packets in one governed workflow. People approve consequential steps. CaptureIQ never automatically submits proposals.
One workspace from notice to packet review
Small and mid-sized government contractors often split federal capture across SAM.gov searches, spreadsheets, shared drives, and ad-hoc Word drafts. That fragmentation creates missed deadlines, inconsistent bid/no-bid rationale, and proposal packets that are hard to review.
CaptureIQ is AI-assisted federal capture software: rules and eligibility checks run before model scoring, fit rationale is reviewable, and packet drafts stay under named human control until your team decides to submit outside the platform.
Problems with disconnected search, spreadsheets, and documents
When opportunity lists live in one place and proposal files live in another, capture managers cannot see why an opportunity was pursued, what rules it passed, or who signed off on the go decision.
- Duplicate notices and stale SAM.gov filters waste BD time
- Keyword hits without eligibility context inflate pursuit volume
- Compliance matrices drift away from the draft narrative
- Leadership cannot reconstruct bid/no-bid evidence after the fact
The CaptureIQ workflow
The product follows a practical capture path designed for teams that need speed without losing auditability.
- IngestPull and normalize federal opportunities from SAM.gov (and Grants.gov where enabled), deduped on notice identity.
- Rules gateApply include/exclude keyword and eligibility rules before any model spend.
- Fit scoreScore narrative fit against your capability statement with explainable factors for human review.
- Market intelligenceSurface incumbent, competitor, agency, and teaming signals from public federal award data when available.
- Packet buildAssemble review-ready RFP or grant response materials for editors and reviewers.
- Human reviewNamed reviewers edit, approve, or reject. CaptureIQ does not auto-submit to SAM.gov or Grants.gov.
- Decision ledgerPreserve go/no-go decisions, prompts, and review actions in an exportable audit trail.
Who the product is designed for
CaptureIQ targets lean GovCon teams - 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, and similar small and mid-sized vendors - that need a governed capture path without enterprise CRM overhead.
What remains under human control
Fit scores and drafts are decision support. Your team owns bid/no-bid calls, proposal judgment, pricing strategy, and final submission through the agency channel you choose. CaptureIQ does not replace professional proposal judgment.
Data sources and integrations that are actually implemented
CaptureIQ uses public federal opportunity and award data sources - including SAM.gov, Grants.gov where configured, and USAspending-derived signals for market context. It integrates with your organization workspace, capability materials, and billing entitlements. CaptureIQ is not affiliated with or endorsed by those federal systems.
Manual workflow versus CaptureIQ
Manual capture relies on tribal knowledge and file folders. CaptureIQ keeps opportunity state, rule outcomes, fit rationale, packet drafts, and decisions in one tenant-scoped system so reviewers work from the same record. We do not claim guaranteed time savings or win rates - the value is a clearer, auditable pursuit path.
Frequently asked questions
Does CaptureIQ submit proposals automatically?
No. Packets are review-ready drafts. Submission remains a human action outside automatic platform submission.
Is CaptureIQ only for large primes?
No. It is built for small and mid-sized government contractors who need a governed capture workflow without enterprise shelfware.
How is AI used?
AI assists with fit scoring and draft organization after deterministic rules run. Humans review and approve consequential decisions.
