Compliant pre-solicitation engagement, on rails.
A controlled workspace for market research, sources-sought, draft-scope feedback, and pre-solicitation outreach — without compromising procurement fairness. Built around the FAR 15.201, FAR Part 10, and OCI controls procurement reviewers actually ask about.

Healthcare clinic modernization
Built for procurement defensibility
Three things every public owner needs before running early market engagement on a shared platform.
Compliant by design
FAR 15.201 and FAR Part 10 guardrails are built into every workflow. Invite reason codes, equal-access Q&A rules, and disclosure events keep procurement defensible from day one.
Procurement-officer controlled
Lifecycle gating, jurisdiction profiles, and approval chains let procurement, program management, legal, and supplier diversity each work in their lane.
Audit-ready evidence
Every release, response, answer, OCI review, and scorecard is captured in a chronological disclosure log. Open-records export bundles the whole record on demand.
See who responded, decide who qualifies, and message back
When an opportunity is posted, every firm response lands in one triage view. Qualify, request more information, or recommend award — and keep the conversation on the record.
- Score launch readiness across need, market research, scope, schedule, evaluation, and compliance
- Triage every responding firm — qualify, request more info, disqualify, or recommend award
- Message firms back and forth inside the record, with attachments and a full audit trail
- Release documents to the participant pool with controlled visibility and disclosure events
