UK-based · Building for US federal contractors
WinAContract is built by David Harding, founder of eSourcing Data Ltd, a UK company that has spent the last few years building software for public-sector procurement on both the buyer and supplier sides. After working with hundreds of UK suppliers trying to make sense of Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, and the dozens of devolved-government portals, we kept hearing the same thing from peers in the United States: SAM.gov is free, but the experience is brutal, and the pre-existing tools that solve it cost five-figure-a-year subscriptions targeted at primes — not at the small businesses that win 23% of federal awards.
WinAContract is the response. The product layers fast, faceted search across federal and state opportunities on top of an AI bid writing engine that produces a compliant first draft of a response in hours, not weeks. We charge $1,500 a year at launch — about a tenth of what GovWin charges — and during the founding period it’s $999 once for 50% off forever.
Why we built it this way
Federal contracting is a $700+ billion market each year. Almost a quarter of that is legally reserved for small businesses through the SBA set-aside programs (8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB). But the small businesses who qualify for those set-asides are routinely outgunned on response quality by primes with full proposal teams. That asymmetry is what AI fixes. A solo veteran with SDVOSB certification can now produce a 60-page technical response that reads like a $200/hour proposal consultant wrote it — because, with the right system, they did.
Our mission
Get every qualifying US small business one good shot at a federal contract — without paying $25,000 a year for the privilege of finding the work. Federal procurement should be a tool of economic mobility, not a moat for incumbents who can afford BD teams. We measure success by how many net-new federal vendors win their first award using WinAContract.
Who we’re built for
Small US businesses (typically 1 to 50 employees) who already have a SAM.gov registration or are about to get one, who respond to between 5 and 100 federal or state RFPs a year, and who are tired of either Excel-tracked SAM searches or $15,000-a-year platforms that overserve them. If you’re a prime contractor bidding $500M IDIQ vehicles, we’re not your tool — go talk to Deltek. If you’re a 12-person SDVOSB engineering firm trying to win three Army Corps task orders this year, we’re built exactly for you.
