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 — widening your qualified pipeline without adding headcount.
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)?
Salesforce, Deltek Vantagepoint, and Unison Marketplace integrations are available on the higher tiers. Managed Enterprise plans include integration setup.
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.
