Every requirement,from the solicitationsolicitation to the final page.
GovPursuit takes a solicitation from SAM.gov or your contract vehicle all the way to the proposal package you submit. It lays out what the solicitation asks for, with every requirement quoted from the page it came from and checked against that page. Then it helps you plan each answer from what your team knows, drafts each section from that plan, and checks that each requirement is still answered where you planned it.
Example on a sample task order request: requirement R124 is quoted from page 12 of the PWS, answered in the content plan, written into one drafted paragraph with R123 and R125, and still answered where it was planned when the draft is checked.

A solicitation doesn’t ask for a document. It asks for a proposal package.
The solicitation package holds a PWS, submission instructions, evaluation criteria, pricing workbooks and amendments, and the deadline is days or weeks away.

Someone shreds the solicitation into a spreadsheet.GovPursuit does the shredding, with every requirement quoted from its page.
Someone chases the experts for input.GovPursuit’s interview asks the questions, one requirement at a time, and keeps a record of each answer.
Someone writes against the clock.GovPursuit drafts each section from the plan your team approved.
And somewhere between the outline and the final edit, a requirement slips out.GovPursuit checks the draft against the requirements, the basis for award and the formatting rules.
One thread, from the first read to the final page.
In GovPursuit, each requirement keeps its place through the whole response. You can see where it came from in the solicitation, which proposal section answers it, what your team planned to say, how the draft says it, and that it’s still there after the last edit.

Before anyone writes a word.
GovPursuit reads the whole solicitation package, attachments included, in long-running AI workflows that follow the steps a proposal manager would take. It does the groundwork, and you make the calls: every requirement it finds keeps the exact words and page it came from, and your team approves each step before the next one opens.
Know exactly what to submit.
GovPursuit reads the submission instructions, Section L when there is one, and lays out every volume, required section, page limit and constraint, each pinned to the page and quote that asks for it. It finds the basis for award for the whole package too, from Section M when there is one. You confirm the checklist before GovPursuit extracts the proposal’s requirements.
Sample solicitationProposal Builder
Example on a sample task order request: the Proposal Builder lays out four volumes and the six required sections of Volume II, each with the page that requires it, plus its price-data limit, its 25-page limit and the four basis for award factors. Then it waits for you to confirm the checklist.

It reads forward, the way you would.
When a volume’s instructions ask for a complete understanding of the PWS, GovPursuit finds the PWS and reads it too. Every requirement behind that one line is tracked, grouped the way the PWS lays them out.
Example: a Volume II instruction on page 25 asks for an understanding of the work in the PWS. GovPursuit reads forward into Attachment J-1, the 26-page PWS, and tracks 383 requirements, grouped by PWS section.

One sentence can hold four requirements. GovPursuit tracks all four.
When one statement asks for several things, GovPursuit splits it into separate requirements with their own codes. Each one points back to the same sentence on the same page.
Example: one PWS sentence on page 17 asks for scheduled publishing, role-based editing, version history and Spanish-language pages. GovPursuit tracks it as four requirements, R212.1 to R212.4, each pointing back to that sentence.

4 requirements · 1 source sentence · each one placed and tracked on its own
Every requirement quotes its source, and the quote has to be there.
Each requirement keeps its file, page and exact words. GovPursuit checks that those words appear on that page before the requirement counts, so every requirement on your list traces to words that appear in the solicitation package.
Example: requirement R124 keeps its file, page 12, section C.4.2 and its exact quote, and the quote is checked against page 12 of the PWS.
C.4.2The Contractor shall host the site in a FedRAMP Moderate environment and maintain its security controls.

Every requirement lands in your outline, or in front of you.
GovPursuit places each requirement it can in the proposal section that answers it. What it can’t place waits in Needs a home, what you exclude keeps your reason, and the regulations and formatting rules the solicitation cites are tracked on their own. If it missed a line, highlight it in the attachment and it joins the list with its source. You approve each section before the storyboard starts.
Example: 432 of 440 requirements are placed in Volume II’s six sections, 1 needs a home and 7 are excluded, and you have reviewed all six sections.

Each topic gets a content plan. Explain your approach the way you would to a peer, paste your notes, or turn on the interview and answer one requirement at a time. The AI reviewer checks each requirement against your plan, and the whole topic against the basis for award, on the rating scale agencies use, from Unacceptable to Outstanding.

Your team makes every call.
We’re building GovPursuit in public.
I’m Brett. I started my career in Air Force administration, following government procedures. Then I spent more than 20 years as a software consultant and engineering director, learning one industry after another, from pharma to defense, and building document and content management systems. For GovPursuit, I studied how proposal teams respond to a solicitation, step by step, and designed it to empower proposal managers, not replace them.
Join the mailing list and we’ll tell you when our social channels launch, along with early-access news and new features.
Questions proposal teams ask first.
Who writes the proposal?
Your team does, with GovPursuit as the drafting partner. It turns your approved content plan into a first draft, topic by topic, to get you started. You wordsmith and iterate in a full document editor, then review again to make sure no requirement slipped during your edits.
What kinds of solicitations does it work with?
GovPursuit covers the full lifecycle of multi-volume proposals, for solicitations from SAM.gov and task order requests from your contract vehicle. More response types, such as quotes, will follow.
What does GovPursuit read?
The PDF, Word, Excel, text and other files in the solicitation package, including its amendments and Q&A responses. From PDFs, it keeps tables, chapters, headings, sections and formatting, so the AI reads each document with its structure and meaning intact.
How do we get early access?
