We built NextStage to solve a problem every government contractor knows: the tools you need to win contracts weren't built for the way you actually work.
Spreadsheets for pipeline tracking. Generic CRMs that don't understand GovCon. Proposal tools that don't talk to your capture data. Disconnected systems that force your team to work harder, not smarter.
Today, we're announcing our biggest proposal enhancement yet: the New and Improved Proposal Suite with AI-powered workflows, plus a completely rebuilt reporting system designed specifically for GovCon.
This release brings two major upgrades that teams have been asking for:
The New and Improved Proposal Suite: AI That Works the Way You Do
Your proposal process is unique. Your tools should reflect that.
The new Proposal Suite integrates AI directly into shredding, outlining, and drafting, so you can move from RFP release to Pink Team review significantly faster. But here's what matters: it's built to fit your process, not force you into ours.
AI-Powered RFP Shredding: Parse 300-page RFPs, extract requirements, and use AI recommendations to capture compliance requirements in minutes instead of hours. The AI accelerates your starting point while you maintain control over the final output.
Automated Outline Generation: Generate initial proposal outlines based on RFP sections, create properly formatted shell documents, and map requirements to volumes. Proposal Managers refine the structure, but the foundation is built faster.
First-Draft Content Assistance: For sections with clear requirements and existing content libraries, AI generates initial drafts that SMEs then refine. Especially powerful for standard sections like corporate experience and past performance.
Integrated Compliance Checking
Cross-reference your draft against the RFP requirements matrix, flag potential non-compliance issues, and identify missing responses—an additional quality control layer built into your workflow.Content Reuse & Knowledge Management: Search your proposal library, identify relevant past performance examples, and get suggestions for reusable content, saving hours of searching.
Whether you're managing timelines, coordinating SMEs, or drafting technical volumes, the AI works the way you do.
Reports That Answer Your Actual Questions
Government contractor reporting needs are specific. You need to forecast contract revenue. Analyze pWin trends across your portfolio. Understand which opportunities are stuck in capture and why.
We've completely rebuilt reporting to give you those answers, out of the box. No spreadsheet exports. No custom dashboards. No data analyst required.
Want to know your Q4 pipeline forecast? It's there. Need to see which opportunities have been in capture for more than 60 days? Done. Looking for win-rate analysis by agency? Ready to go.
Why This Matters
Federal contracting is evolving. Competition is fiercer. Procurement timelines are compressing. Proposal teams are under more pressure than ever.
The teams that win are the ones who can move faster without compromising quality and who have the visibility to make smart decisions about where to compete.
The New and Improved Proposal Suite is built for exactly that: seamlessly integrated, AI-powered workflows from opportunity identification to proposal submission.
