The contracts that get won are won 8-12 weeks before the RFP drops. Bridger Capture Intelligence indexes the appropriations actions, NDAA marks, agency briefings, and pre-solicitation signals that determine who's positioned when the solicitation actually appears.
Three live ingest pipelines write to a single AppropriationsItem store: Congress.gov auto-discovery (80-150 bills per cycle), USAspending obligations (top 100 awards > $5M in past 14 days), and House/Senate Approps committee meeting feeds (next 45 days). Refreshed at 06:00 + 14:00 ET daily.
The relevance engine scores every row against your CompanyProfile: NAICS overlap (up to +35), tech-area overlap (+25), target agency match (+15), AUKUS / allied-tech keyword bonus (+10 if you’re international), status weight (+10 enacted), recency (+5). Hard floor: profiles with no overlap score 0 (no false positives).
Per-row drilldown surfaces a legislative pipeline visualisation (or obligation/markup detail per source kind), coverage tags, activity ties to opportunities & signals & lobbyist briefings, and structured action pills that link into /opportunities, /teaming, /lobbyists, /competitors, or /profile with the right filters already applied.
Allied tech firms entering US federal procurement. The structural disadvantage of being outside the Beltway is largely an information asymmetry problem; Capture Intelligence dissolves it.
Mid-tier US contractors tracking which programs are actually moving across DoD/DARPA/DIU and the civilian side. The status pipeline visualisation makes stage-aware capture planning explicit.
Cross-functional capture teams that need a single source of truth for “what should we be working on this week?” — the appropriations relevance ranking is the editorial answer.
