RFQ orchestration and supplier quote tracking for govcon
Automated system that sends RFQs to vetted supplier networks, confirms receipt via phone/email, tracks quote status in real time, and flags delays—purpose-built for defense primes and small govcon contractors bidding on federal work.
The problem
Defense contractors and govcon bidders manually send RFQs to dozens of suppliers, chase confirmations via phone and email, re-send forgotten requests, and manually reconcile quotes in spreadsheets. A single delayed or missing quote kills the entire bid window. No system exists that treats RFQ orchestration as a mission-critical workflow with built-in supplier verification, receipt confirmation, and compliance audit trails.
Who has it: Small and mid-market US defense contractors and govcon primes under 500 employees bidding on federal contracts via GSA Schedule, IDIQ, or open competition.
Why now: Federal procurement is accelerating (NDAA, reshoring, small-business set-asides). Govcon primes are under time pressure to bid faster and more often. Phone-based follow-up is manual, error-prone, and unauditable. LLM-powered RFQ drafting + workflow automation now makes this economically viable at scale.
