$760 billion in US federal procurement opens to allied vendors every year. The vendors don’t see it.
The contracts that get won are won 8-12 weeks before the RFP drops — in the pre-RFP window where positioning happens, where teaming gets formed, where past performance gets indexed. Allied tech firms (Australian, British, Canadian, Israeli, Japanese, Korean, Singaporean) are systematically outside that window. They learn about opportunities when they’re published on SAM.gov, by which point the prime team is set, the past performance is referenced, and the solicitation is already shaped around incumbents.
Bridger is the entry rail. We index the appropriations actions, NDAA marks, agency briefings, and pre-solicitation signals that determine who’s positioned when the solicitation actually appears. We surface them ranked against your firm’s NAICS, capabilities, and target agencies. And we connect you to the US partners (primes, 8(a) firms, compliance specialists, proposal writers, contract manufacturers, US-incorporation counsel) you need to actually compete.
Bridger is built and operated by Hassan Gad through Levenhall LLC. Adam Leslie is CEO and Founder.

Bridger is independently held: no government equity, no prime-contractor equity, no venture funding to date. Revenue comes from contractor subscriptions and marketplace facilitation fees only. We will name any future investors publicly here and notify customers in advance.
Three convictions that drive the platform.
Past performance is the only signal that matters.
Set-aside qualification, NAICS code, vehicle holdings — those are eligibility filters, not differentiators. The contracting officer underwrites past performance. We built the matching engine around that opinion.
Federal contracting is a graph, not a table.
Agencies buy from primes; primes sub to allied vendors; vendors hold past performance with previous primes and agencies. The relationships are the data. SAM.gov models federal contracting as flat tables of opportunities; we don’t.
Allied entry should be a rail, not a maze.
The CAGE registration, ITAR posture, FOCI mitigation, CMMC alignment, and sponsor-relationship work that determines whether a foreign vendor can compete is sequenced and tracked by the platform — not by the vendor learning the FAR from scratch.
The roadmap.
Now (2026 H1): contractor onboarding, appropriations + opportunity intelligence, US-prime teaming marketplace, lobbyist marketplace beta, daily public Brief.
Next (2026 H2): SOC 2 Type II attestation, FedRAMP path determination, proposal-agent v2, allied-introduction facilitation across Five Eyes + AUKUS-Pillar-II countries.
Later: sponsored fellowship for allied-tech founders, public Bridger Index annual report, expansion to civilian-side procurement (HHS, DHS, DOE) at the same depth as DoD.
