Announcing Forecasts: Win Contracts Competitors Miss

The Problem: Reactive Tools in a Relationship-Driven Market

Traditional government contracting tools operate on a simple premise: search for contracts using keywords and NAICS codes, then react when opportunities appear publicly.

The reality: By the time a contract hits SAM.gov, the winner has often been decided. Competitors who identified the opportunity 12-18 months earlier have already built relationships with the program office, shaped requirements at industry days, and positioned on the incumbent's pain points.

You're responding to a solicitation. They're presenting solutions to known problems.

The workflow:

• Wait for RFP to drop on SAM.gov

• Search GovWin with keywords hoping to find relevant opportunities

• Scramble to understand the incumbent, pricing, subs, and competitive landscape

• Build a team in weeks and bid blind

• Hope your proposal stands out among dozens of competitors doing the same thing

This isn't capture strategy. It's reacting to opportunities competitors have been shaping for months while you were waiting for a public solicitation.

The fundamental flaw: These tools are built for reactive searching, not proactive intelligence. They show you what's already public. They don't tell you what's coming from your target customers or who you're competing against.

Introducing Forecasts: Agentic Government Contracting Intelligence

Usul Forecasts identifies every government contract expiring in the next two years from the companies you compete against, the customers you have relationships with, and the products you actually build.

This isn't keyword search. This is AI hunting for you.

How Forecasts Works

Input your business logic: Tell Usul your capabilities, target competitors to displace, customers you have relationships with, and strategic priorities.

AI monitors continuously: Forecasts tracks contract lifecycles across your target PEOs and competitor portfolios, identifying recompetes 6-24 months before bid release.

Opportunities delivered daily: Every recompete gets a 1-100 match score based on your capabilities, target incumbents, and strategic priorities. Focus on opportunities where you're most competitive.

Complete intelligence package: For every recompete, see incumbent pricing, modification history, delivery orders, subcontractors, timeline, and upcoming industry days where target PEOs are speaking.

Take action: Call the people that matter, meet them in person, demo your product months before your competitors even know the opportunity exists.

Rethinking Government Contracting: How Teams Will Adapt

Forecasts isn't just a better tool. It fundamentally changes how government contracting teams operate.

For Capture Managers: For decades, capture managers have spent their days searching portals, tracking down contract data, and manually building opportunity lists. That work disappears. AI handles data collection automatically, freeing capture managers to focus on what actually wins contracts: strategic positioning, relationship building, and competitive analysis. The expertise that took years to develop gets applied to high-value work instead of spreadsheet maintenance.

For Business Developers: BD teams no longer show up to meetings playing catch-up. When they walk into a program office, they already know the incumbent's pricing, modification history, and subcontractor relationships. They're the most informed people in the room. They're engaging 12 months before competitors know the opportunity exists. That early positioning compounds. Higher PWin. Better teaming. Stronger proposals.

For Proposal Teams: Proposal managers stop chasing every RFP that matches a keyword. Instead, they focus resources on opportunities where the company is actually competitive, has customer relationships, and positioned early. Signal through the noise. Pursue high-value proposals that convert to real wins. Stop burning budget on blind bids with single-digit PWin just because "cybersecurity" appeared in the solicitation.

The shift is profound. Capture teams move from reactive researchers to strategic operators. BD teams move from relationship-dependent to relationship-enabled. Proposal teams move from volume to precision.

Teams adapting to this reality are winning more contracts with fewer resources. Teams still keyword searching on GovWin are competing for opportunities that were decided months ago.
