CaptureAgent

CaptureAgent is an AI capture and proposal manager for companies that sell to the United States federal government. It covers the two jobs that eat a small contractor's week, finding opportunities worth bidding on and turning the decision to bid into a submitted proposal. The site is blunt about the target it's aiming at, finding and qualifying federal opportunities in minutes rather than days, and preparing and submitting proposals in days rather than weeks. It's built by Orbital Services Corporation LLC.

Federal business development is mostly reading. SAM.gov and Grants.gov publish far more notices than any small team can work through, most of them irrelevant to any given company, and the ones that do fit are buried under set-aside rules, NAICS codes and incumbent history that take real effort to untangle. Miss the right notice and you never bid at all. Chase the wrong one and you burn a month writing a proposal you were never going to win. CaptureAgent points itself squarely at that filtering problem.

It pulls opportunities from SAM.gov, Grants.gov and the open web, then scores each one against your company profile rather than leaving you to eyeball the list. That profile carries your NAICS codes and your set-aside eligibility, so the scoring reflects what you can actually compete for instead of what merely sounds relevant. On top of the scoring it runs competitive analysis on incumbent primes and subcontractors, which is usually the context that decides whether a bid is worth the effort in the first place.

The order of work is easy to follow. You build the company profile once, carrying your NAICS codes and your set-aside eligibility, and everything after that reads from it. The opportunity feed arrives already scored against that profile, the competitive analysis tells you who is sitting on the incumbent contract and which subcontractors are already inside it, and a capability statement can be generated for whichever pursuit survives the cut. Only then does the proposal work start, which keeps the expensive writing effort pointed at bids that cleared a real qualification step rather than ones that merely looked interesting on a Tuesday morning.

Once you commit to pursuing something, the same system carries the work forward. It generates capability statements, drafts federal proposal volumes, runs evaluation passes over what it drafted, and exports the result. There's bidirectional git sync with Overleaf for teams that write in LaTeX, which is a specific enough integration that it clearly came from real users rather than a feature checklist. Beyond proposals it also produces investor materials, covering pitch decks, business plans and financial models, plus accelerator application forms, so it reaches most of the long-form documents a small contractor has to produce in a year.

Two architectural choices are worth calling out. The first is bring your own key. CaptureAgent runs on your own Anthropic, OpenAI or Gemini API credentials rather than reselling inference, so your model spend stays separate from the subscription and you keep control over which provider handles your material. The second is per-organization encryption of customer work product, which matters more than usual here, since proposal drafts contain pricing, staffing plans and technical approaches you would not want pooled with anyone else's.

The audience is US government contractors, with a clear tilt toward small businesses chasing SBIR, STTR and set-aside opportunities. Those are the companies that feel this pain hardest, because a large prime has a capture team and a proposal shop while a five person firm has a founder doing both between customer work. The investor-materials and accelerator-application features point at the same profile, early-stage technical companies where the federal pipeline and the fundraising pipeline are being run by the same one or two people.

Access is paid, with no free tier advertised. Starter, described as opportunity intelligence, runs $49.99 per user per month and covers the finding and qualifying side. Small Teams at $99.99 per user per month adds full capture and proposal management on top. Enterprise drops per-seat billing entirely, offering unlimited users at a price you have to ask for, and there's a contact page for that conversation. Because inference runs on your own provider keys, the subscription buys the platform and your model usage is billed separately by whichever provider you point it at, which is worth factoring in before comparing the sticker price against tools that bundle inference. Nothing on the site advertises a free trial either, so evaluating it means a conversation with sales or a month on Starter, which is a normal posture for per-seat software at this level but worth knowing going in.
