Challenges large primes face
The friction points we hear most from large primes doing federal work.
- Capture portfolio is enormous (50-500+ active pursuits) — visibility loss is a real risk
- Proposal team productivity is the bottleneck — every hour of writer time costs $400+
- IDIQ task orders close in 7-21 days — fast response needed at scale
- Small business subcontracting compliance reporting is admin-heavy and audit-prone

Frequently asked
Why would a large prime use a search tool when we have BD teams?
Coverage. BD teams know your strategic agencies; an AI search catches every adjacent opportunity (lateral agencies, related NAICS, follow-on RFPs) that your BD team would never have time to monitor manually. Increases pipeline by 20-40% in our UK customer base.
How does WinAContract help with IDIQ task orders?
Task order alerts are tagged by IDIQ vehicle (CIO-SP3, OASIS+, Alliant 2, etc.) so your delivery teams see only orders against vehicles they're on. AI drafts the technical sections from your past task-order wins on the same vehicle.
Can we integrate with our existing CRM (Salesforce / Deltek)?
Roadmap. The Q3 2026 launch will offer Salesforce, Deltek Vantagepoint, and Unison Marketplace integrations as part of the Enterprise tier. Founding members get free integration setup at launch.
Do you cover classified opportunities?
No — WinAContract aggregates publicly published SAM.gov, GSA eBuy, and agency forecast data. Classified opportunities (SCIF-required, controlled access) are not in scope.
