    Why this is hard

    Most capture pipelines live in a spreadsheet, a shared drive and somebody's inbox, and a general-purpose CRM does not know what a solicitation is.

    The tool does not know the domain

    Solicitation numbers, set-asides, NAICS codes, proposal due dates, teaming partners and amendments are the objects this work runs on. A CRM can be configured to approximate them, and then the configuration is the product you maintain.

    The pursuit is tracked in three places

    Documents in a drive, decisions in email, dates in a spreadsheet. Reconciling them is nobody's job, so it happens the week the proposal is due.

    Context leaves with people

    When the person holding the pursuit in their head moves on, the reasoning goes with them, and the same questions get re-asked on the next recompete.

    What Manage does

    One pipeline

    • Stages, tasks, calendar, and @mentions in JourneyHub.

    Shared rooms

    • Document rooms and matrices live with the pursuit.

    Team memory

    • Decisions and context outlast turnover.

    What you get out of it

    A pipeline built on pursuits

    • Stages with exit criteria, tasks, a calendar and @mentions, so opportunities move on evidence rather than on optimism.

    Document rooms on the pursuit

    • The solicitation, the attachments, the compliance matrix and the drafts live with the opportunity rather than in a folder somebody has to find.

    One workspace for BD, capture and proposals

    • The proposal team inherits the capture team's reasoning instead of a handover call.

    A record that outlasts turnover

    • Decisions and context are a by-product of doing the work, not extra admin, so they are still there next time.

    A pipeline that knows what a pursuit is

    Stages you name, a win probability on each one, and a forecast that is a by-product of working the board.

    Weighted forecast, computed

    Every stage carries its own win probability, so a journey with a deal value contributes its weighted share automatically. It updates when someone moves a card.

    Journeys open already populated

    The notice, the attachments, the agency and the dates arrive with the pursuit. Nothing is retyped into the CRM.

    Board, calendar or table

    The same journeys, three ways, filtered by type, owner, assignee, status, due date or visibility.

    Break a pursuit into work somebody owns

    A due date tells you when it is too late. A task board tells you whether it will make it.

    Requirements become tasks

    Each extracted requirement can become a task on the journey, so the compliance matrix and the work plan are one list rather than two documents that drift apart.

    A My Tasks view across every pursuit

    Everything assigned to you, from every journey, in the view most people actually live in.

    Decisions in writing, on the pursuit

    The reasoning behind a bid is worth more than the bid, and it is the first thing lost when it lives in somebody's inbox.

      Section L caps Volume I at 25 pages and we are at 31. Cutting the past performance appendix rather than the technical approach.

      Agreed. @Jordan the amendment moved two requirements, can you re-run the matrix before we cut anything?

      Re-run against amendment 0002. 38 of 38 requirements mapped, two due dates moved. Updated matrix is on the Documents tab.

    Comments, mentions and reactions

    On the journey and on individual tasks, with an activity log of what changed and who changed it.

    It survives turnover

    When the person holding a pursuit in their head moves on, the reasoning stays behind rather than leaving with them.

    Reporting nobody has to be asked for

    Built from the journeys the team is already working, so the number leadership sees is the number the board is in.

    Values land across the years they are earned rather than whole in the award year, which is the difference between a forecast and a wish.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is a GovCon CRM and how is it different from Salesforce?
    A GovCon CRM tracks pursuits rather than deals. It understands solicitation numbers, set-asides, NAICS codes, proposal due dates, teaming partners and amendments: the objects government contracting actually runs on. A general-purpose CRM can be configured to approximate this, but the configuration becomes the product you maintain.
    How do you forecast a government contracting pipeline?
    Weight each pursuit by the stage it is in. In SamSearch every column carries a win probability, 10 per cent at assessment through to 100 at won, so a pursuit with a deal value contributes its weighted share automatically. The forecast updates when someone moves a card, which is the only way it stays true.
    How should a capture pipeline be structured?
    Most teams run identify, qualify, pursue, propose and award. What matters more than the stage names is that each stage has an exit criterion: a bid/no-bid decision, a teaming agreement signed, a pink team held, so that opportunities move on evidence rather than on optimism.
    How do BD, capture and proposal teams work in one system?
    By sharing the pursuit rather than passing it along. When the opportunity, its documents, its compliance matrix, its tasks and its decision history live in one place, the proposal team inherits the capture team's reasoning instead of a folder and a phone call.
    What happens to pursuit knowledge when someone leaves?
    In most organisations it leaves with them, which is why the same questions get re-asked on every recompete. Keeping decisions, contacts and documents attached to the pursuit rather than to a person is the only reliable answer. The record has to be a by-product of doing the work, not extra admin.
