Three ways a small bid dies.

Each one has a screen in FedRAG that shows it to you, with its page.

  1. The requirement on an odd page.

    FedRAG lists the requirements it finds, each with its page. Each page chip shows the line it came from.

    Prices shall comply with all SCA wage rates and other pertinent state, local and federal guidelines. shallPrices shall comply with all SCA wage rates and other pertinent state, local and federal guidelines.FA480026Q0082, page 21 of 23, Volume I, price volume

  2. The amendment or deadline you missed.

    One ledger holds every date with its time zone and its source, and works back from the due time. Add each amendment in one step.

The 72-second demo

The capture team you never had.

Large businesses bid with a whole capture team. FedRAG gives you the capture team, from the bids that fit to a draft with a source under each claim. You set the price, and the decision stays yours. The film follows one demo bid, with the app’s screens recreated as animation. Captions are on, so you can watch with the sound off.

About this video. Its screens are a recreation of the FedRAG app, simplified and animated for this film. It is not a recording of the app in use, and nothing in it runs live. The company is a test company with no SAM.gov registration; its profile and documents are test data. The open-notice count and the notices shown are public SAM.gov data as of November 9, 2026, matched against that test profile. The contracts ending in your market are public award records from USAspending.gov, shown without the holders’ names. The package is a demo copy of a past federal RFQ, FA480026Q0082, issued by an Air Force contracting office, which closed on September 11, 2026; its dates are moved forward and contact names are left out. Each value on screen was checked against what the FedRAG app, running on a demo server, shows for that test company and demo package. The package was loaded with no model calls: requirement coverage, the gap and the draft text come from simple test stand-ins, not a live model run. The partner firm is a demo entry. The work-done figures count what the app shows for this one package; they are not a measure of time saved. The opening props are illustrations, not real documents. The Air Force has not reviewed or endorsed FedRAG. The hosted app is not open yet. FedRAG is not a law firm, and this is not legal advice. FedRAG is a product of Solstice Group LLC.

Long solicitations bury a “shall” on an odd page. FedRAG reads the solicitation package and lists the requirements it finds, each with the page it came from, so you can check the exact words yourself. Scroll to watch it read pages 21 and 23 of the demo package.

1 · Decide · Mon 8:40 p.m.

Can we bid on this one?

Eligibility first: set-aside (who’s allowed to bid), SBA size standard (the most a firm can average in receipts, or employ, and still count as small for that NAICS code), NAICS (your industry code), facility and staff clearances, bonding, place of performance, certifications, SAM.gov registration and exclusions. Then each work requirement against your own documents.

FedRAG recommends Bid, Bid with a teaming partner, No-bid or Not eligible to bid as prime, and every reason cites its page or its SAM.gov record. A No-bid on day one is a good answer.

Bid with a teaming partner

No eligibility blocker found, 4 items to confirm about your company. A partner would close the gap.

2 · Team · Tue 9:05 p.m.

Who can fill the gap?

The requirements your documents don’t cover become the gaps a partner should fill. Add a partner you know, or look at firms from public SAM.gov registrations, each with its as-of date.

The workshare calculator checks the limitation on subcontracting before you commit.

Needs confirmingFedRAG did not find FAR 52.219-14 in this package’s clause list. Until you confirm the clause, the check is for planning only.

3 · Price · Wed 7:50 p.m.

What do we charge?

Start from your own rates or wrap rate. The worksheet takes hours from the staffing plan and CLINs from Section B, and fills the buy’s own Excel template.

FedRAG never proposes a target price. A named person on your team sets it.

Price worksheetEvery hourly wage: Your FY2027 ratesPrice locked
  • Audio Visual Technician$34.50 your rate $68.94 billed1,880 h a year
  • VTC Systems Engineer$58.00 your rate $115.88 billed940 h a year
  • Program Manager$72.00 your rate $143.86 billed470 h a year

Hours × your rate × (1 + escalation) each year × wrap 1.85 × (1 + fee). Escalation 3.00% a year and fee 8.00% are the demo company’s own entries.

4 · Write · Thu 9:30 p.m.

Write it. No source, no claim.

Every factual sentence FedRAG drafts carries a footnote with the file, page and quoted words it came from, or the staffing plan line behind it. A claim with no source is withheld, and a placeholder takes its place for you to fill.

The outline follows the solicitation’s own instructions and order. Drafts go out to Word and come back in; FedRAG re-checks each changed sentence and asks you to confirm any paragraph it can’t match.

Treat late as late. FedRAG works back from the due time.

Every date goes in one ledger with its time zone and its source. Your internal deadline defaults to the late-exception line for an electronic offer (5:00 p.m. the working day before), or to the working day before at the due time for any other offer, with a dry run one working day ahead of it.

Add each amendment (a change the agency posts after the solicitation) in one step, whether it was posted on SAM.gov, emailed or put on a portal. Each gets an acknowledgment draft citing its number. The submit checklist says what was checked and what was not.

FedRAG drafts. It never submits, signs, acknowledges an amendment or sends email for you.

FedRAG recommends. Your team decides.

9 of 10

Of 10 test questions the files could not answer, FedRAG said so on 9.

It declined to answer 6 of the 90 it could have answered.

100 questions about real public solicitations, 90 answerable and 10 not, asked in FedRAG’s Ask feature. Scored by code: a reply counted as saying so when it included FedRAG’s line “I don’t know based on these documents.” Answers from a September 2026 build, scored October 4, 2026, on FedRAG’s internal question set. Not a guarantee for your documents.

No logos here. FedRAG is new, so this page shows the product instead.

The rest of the fine print, up front
  • It doesn’t give legal, accounting or pricing advice, and it doesn’t change your price, past performance or incumbency.
  • It’s measured, not perfect. It missed 1 of 10 test questions the documents couldn’t answer, and declined to answer 6 of 90 it could have.
  • Our counts come from internal tests with test companies. They are not a guarantee for your documents.
  • It has no third-party certification yet: not yet SOC 2, and not cleared for CUI.
  • If a file can’t be read, such as a fillable form, a password-protected PDF or a file over 400 pages, the result names it and says the decision doesn’t cover it.
  • It has no forecast feed and no eBuy feed. Packages from eBuy, a portal or email go in by upload.
  • On October 17, 2026, three internal attack passes by automated reviewers, run against a local copy of FedRAG as it stood that day, found 23 issues: 18 fixed, 5 informational items deferred. Single sign-on, roles, the audit log, the database company walls, the upload scanner and the Team, Price, Write, Review, Submit, Pipeline and billing features came later and have not had an attack pass. No outside audit or human penetration test yet.

Plain answers

Questions owners ask first.

New to the words? The glossary explains set-aside, NAICS, UEI, amendment and the rest in plain English.

Is this only for big contractors?

FedRAG is built for firms of 1 to 20. Eligibility checks run from your public SAM.gov registration. A capability statement or commercial work counts as evidence, and where a fact is missing the draft says so instead of inventing it.

Does it make things up?

It can, so FedRAG checks. A drafted claim shows “Source matched” only when code finds its supporting words in the cited source; otherwise a placeholder takes its place. In our internal test of 100 questions, when the files did not answer a question, FedRAG said so on 9 of 10, and it declined to answer 6 of the 90 it could have answered. Click any page chip and check it yourself.

I’m new to federal work. Will I understand it?

The glossary defines set-aside, NAICS code, UEI, amendment and more in plain English, and every answer in the bid check names the page it came from.

Can it tell me what price to bid?

No. FedRAG never proposes a target price. The worksheet starts from your own rates, and a named person on your team sets the price.

Does FedRAG submit for us?

No. It drafts the acknowledgment and the checklist. You submit, sign and send.

Is $349 a month worth it for a firm our size?

Judge it on your own bids. Run the free bid check, then the 14-day trial on up to 3 real packages before you pay. It is one price for the whole company, with unlimited users.

Can we use it for CUI?

No. FedRAG is not cleared for CUI. Use public solicitations and your non-sensitive documents. Marked uploads are held before their text is stored, indexed or sent to a model, but a file with no marking is not caught, so leave out anything you are unsure about.

We already pay for GovWin or HigherGov. Why add this?

Keep it. A discovery tool finds the notice; FedRAG starts when you open it. It reads the package, checks whether you can bid and carries the bid to submission. You can import your pipeline from a CSV file, such as an export from GovWin IQ, HigherGov or GovTribe, and check how each column maps before anything is saved. FedRAG has no forecast feed, so it adds to discovery rather than replacing it.

What happens to our data if we cancel?

Your plan stays active to the end of the paid period. Your workspace is then deleted by a deletion run, once you’ve been offered an export. Retention for each kind of record is listed on the Data use page, which opens with the app.

Do you train on our data?

No. FedRAG does not train models on your data, and no company’s nonpublic data shapes another company’s results. The model provider and region are named on the Data use page, which opens with the app.

The demo

Bring a solicitation you’re weighing.

Or one you’ve already decided. See whether FedRAG reaches the same call, and click any page to check it. A 30-minute live demo for owners and the person who writes your bids, at firms of 1 to 20 people.

  • What happens on the callWe run the decision and the eligibility checks on a public SAM.gov solicitation. You click any citation and check the page. Large packages we read ahead, then you ask a new question live.
  • What to bringAn optional SAM.gov notice number. Nothing else: the demo uses a test company profile, not your files.
  • Who runs itBefore launch, the founder runs every demo.

The bid check runs in the FedRAG app, which opens at launch. Request a demo and we’ll run it with you on the call.

We’ll use it only for your demo: to set it up, and to follow up after.
