Federal Capture Software Built for the Full Pursuit Workflow
CaptureIQ is federal capture and RFP software for small and mid-sized government contractors. The product is built so a lean team can move from a SAM.gov notice to a documented bid/no-bid decision and, when pursuing, into review-ready proposal materials without stitching together separate search, CRM, and drafting tools.
- Find federal opportunitiesIngest and screen SAM.gov notices so opportunity search becomes a working queue, not a bookmark list.
- Qualify against company capabilitiesRun opportunity qualification against approved capability materials before the team invests in a full RFP read.
- Make bid/no-bid decisionsUse rules, fit rationale, and human review to decide go, no-go, or partner-required with a recorded outcome.
- Develop pursuit intelligencePull public-source market context into capture management so the pursuit record stays with the notice.
- Create proposal-ready materialsMove qualified RFPs into structured drafts, compliance notes, and a review-ready packet workspace.
- Preserve human review and authorizationNamed reviewers authorize progression. CaptureIQ does not submit proposals automatically.

Inside the capture workflow
AI RFP software built into the federal capture workflow
CaptureIQ helps government contractors evaluate opportunities before proposal effort begins, organize solicitation requirements, develop proposal materials from company capabilities and evidence, and move qualified pursuits through human review.
That work stays on one path: Find → Qualify → Decide → Build → Review. Teams that need a closer look at drafting inside this workflow can read about AI RFP software for government contractors. The same CaptureIQ path also covers SAM.gov opportunity search, GovCon capture management software, and RFP compliance matrix software.
The cost of the wrong pursuits
The cost of pursuing the wrong opportunities
Federal capture teams do not need more opportunities. They need better pursuit decisions.
Opportunity volume is not the same as pipeline quality. Poor-fit pursuits consume expensive capture and proposal capacity. Qualification should occur before substantial drafting so human teams can focus on opportunities with defensible alignment.
Who it is for
Built for lean federal capture teams
CaptureIQ is built for teams that need a complete federal capture workflow without stitching together separate search, CRM, proposal, review, and forecasting systems.
- Small and mid-sized federal contractors
- Founder-led GovCon businesses
- Business-development teams with limited proposal capacity
- Capture managers managing multiple pursuits
- Proposal teams that need structured review
- Contractors that do not want enterprise CRM overhead
What CaptureIQ produces
From opportunity notice to review-ready pursuit workspace
A CaptureIQ proposal packet is a structured, editable pursuit workspace containing solicitation requirements, fit analysis, compliance material, capture strategy, proposal structure, supporting research, draft response content, review findings, and authorization history.
Not every opportunity automatically generates every output. Teams choose which pursuits to advance, and accountable users review materials before submission.
- Opportunity summary
- Eligibility and rule results
- Capability-fit analysis
- Bid/no-bid review
- Capture strategy
- Requirements matrix
- Compliance notes
- Proposal or grant outline
- Draft response materials
- Final Check findings
- Review and authorization history
- Submission record
- Award and cash forecast
FROM SUBMISSION TO EXPECTED CASH
See what you submitted, when awards may land, and when revenue could reach your accounts.
When an RFP or grant is marked submitted, CaptureIQ can convert the pursuit into a probability-weighted view of expected award timing, contract start, future revenue, invoicing, and cash.
CaptureIQ creates the forecast directly from the same pursuit workflow used to prepare and submit the RFP or grant - without requiring users to rebuild the pipeline in a separate CRM or spreadsheet.
Forward-looking estimates. Forecasts are planning estimates, not booked revenue, recognized revenue, invoices, or accounting records.

Where CaptureIQ focuses
Governed capture speed - not shelfware intelligence.
- AI opportunity fit scoring: CaptureIQ compares opportunities against the company's actual capability statement instead of only showing static market intelligence.
- Automated RFP / grant packet creation: CaptureIQ moves from search to review-ready packet generation.
- Human review required: CaptureIQ is designed for governed AI-assisted capture, not autonomous submission.
- SAM.gov scan + keyword filters: CaptureIQ gives small GovCons and consultants a fast daily triage workflow.
- Compliance matrix generation: CaptureIQ helps convert RFP requirements into structured review material.
- Price transparency: CaptureIQ shows simple per-organization pricing while many incumbents require a sales call.
- Speed to first packet: CaptureIQ is designed for rapid packet assembly after qualification. See our speed evidence page for how we measure and describe workflow timing.
- Governance / audit trail: CaptureIQ keeps AI output reviewable and accountable via the Decision Ledger. Proposals are never auto-submitted.
