Proposal Intel is a single platform for forecasting opportunities, running capture, composing proposals, and tracking the competition — built for the teams that pursue federal contracts and grants for a living.
We index every federal opportunity feed — SAM.gov, Grants.gov, agency BAAs, SBIR/STTR, GSA eBuy, and dozens more — and surface pursuit-shaped signals before the RFP posts. Our customers see what their pipeline will look like 6, 12, and 18 months out.
A Shipley-native capture workspace with gates, color-team workflows, teaming graphs, and a living capture brief per pursuit. Customer calls, intel, shaping activities — all on the same opportunity, all the time.
Past-performance, resumes, technical approaches, and pricing from every prior bid — indexed and retrievable. Draft proposal sections that actually reference what your team has done, in language that matches the solicitation.
Competitor lineage, incumbent staffing patterns, contract vehicle history, and protest record. Cross-reference everything against award outcomes to model bid-shape and protest risk into bid / no-bid decisions.
Most BD tools treat the proposal as the artifact: write it, review it, ship it. We think that's the wrong end of the telescope. By the time you're staring at a Section L outline, the bid is mostly already won or lost — by who knew, who was shaping, who teamed first.
So Proposal Intel is built around the data trail before the RFP, not the document after it. Every customer call, every shaping conversation, every intel signal lives next to the opportunity it touches. By the time the RFP drops, your draft is already half-written from the record of what your team actually did.
8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB contractors growing past their first vehicle. Pursue more, qualify harder, and don't waste capture cycles on bids you'll lose.
Growth-stage contractors with a real BD function and a serious pipeline. Get capture, proposals, and competitive intel onto the same source of truth.
Universities, FFRDCs, and research non-profits running grant-heavy pipelines. Same workflow as contracts, scoped to grant procurement.
Large primes coordinating multi-division pursuit with named programs. Multi-workspace structure, SSO, custom data connectors, and customer-managed deployment.
Proposal Intel is operated by Squarebush Services LLC. We started by running pursuit ourselves — capture leads, proposal managers, and BD operators inside government contractors who got tired of stitching together five different tools to do one job.
We built the platform we wished existed: forecast, capture, compose and compete in one workspace, designed by people who've actually shipped winning bids and lost ones, and who care about the difference.
We're a small, focused team. We don't do consulting and we don't sell services. We sell software, and we're building it for a long horizon.
