Two Things Are Quietly Broken

You're a certified small business. You're on SAM.gov twice a week. You're staring at 4,000 active opportunities. Most are irrelevant. A handful might fit. By the time you've filtered by NAICS, checked set-asides, read the SOW, and figured out who the incumbent is — you've burned an evening.

1

The big tools are built for enterprise capture teams

Deltek GovWin, HigherGov, GovTribe — $1,500–$15,000/year, designed for someone with a full-time BD analyst, and tuned for primes. Not for a small certified firm hunting set-asides.

2

The new AI tools find and then stop

Bidscope, Sweetspot, GovDash, Pursuit drop 5 RFPs in your inbox and disappear. You still write the 60-page response yourself — or pay $5K–$25K to a proposal writer who has never bid a contract.

Nobody is building this for the small certified contractor who already knows how to win — they just need the signal cleaned up, a pipeline to track it, and a draft when the day job ate the week.

Why Orshay Intel

Built by a certified federal contractor with 18 years of federal IT experience — including time at major systems integrators and inside federal agencies.

What that means for you:

  • The matching logic understands certifications, not just keywords. If you're WOSB-certified, you don't see SDVOSB set-asides cluttering your feed.
  • The scoring engine weights agency spending patterns, incumbent activity, and your cert stack — built from real bids, not synthetic data.
  • Draft Proposal on any pipeline card generates the full doc in ~60 seconds — with a notarization-aware checklist.
  • Built by someone who's actively bidding federal contracts, not a SaaS company pretending to understand the space.

There are 27 tools in this space. Zero of them are founder-led by someone with 18 years inside federal IT who's actively certified to bid. That gap is what Orshay Intel walks into.

How It Works

Four steps — from cert profile to submission checklist.

1

Connect Your Cert Stack

Tell me your active certifications (SDB, MBE, DBE, 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone), your top NAICS codes, and your past performance domains. Takes 5 minutes.

2

Scan the Live Feed

Every opportunity scored against your certs and NAICS — with a badge that shows exactly why it ranked high. Filter by source, score, and deadline. Plus a Monday email with your top 5 for contractors who won't log in daily.

3

Track in Pipeline

Move opps through Identified → Reviewing → Bidding → Submitted on a Kanban board. Log notes, price, and stage — everything the spreadsheet tracked, now in a UI.

4

Draft Proposal in 60 Seconds

One click generates the full proposal in your voice, saved to your vault. You get a submission checklist tagged NOTARIZE, SIGN, FILL, or DIGITAL — batch the notary trip, work through the rest, submit.

Pro Tier Value Math

A single proposal-writing engagement from orshaygroup.com/proposal-services lists at $5,000–$20,000. Pro includes one per quarter via Draft Proposal on your pipeline. The tier pays for itself on the first proposal it ships.

Compared to What You're Probably Using

The honest take: if you're selling to school districts and city governments, Bidscope is fine. If you're chasing federal set-asides and want someone who's spent 18 years inside the federal system and is actively bidding alongside you, you want Orshay Intel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this just another opportunity scanner?

No. Scanners find. Orshay Intel finds, ranks against your certs, tracks opps through a pipeline, and drafts the proposal when you decide to bid — with a submission checklist that flags which forms need a notary. Sources Sought and pre-solicitation signals are live today; JV matchmaking and USASpending recompete intel are on the Pro roadmap.

I already pay for Bidscope / GovTribe / HigherGov. Why switch?

You don't have to switch — many beta users run Orshay Intel alongside one other tool for the first 90 days. After that the math usually wins: one drafted proposal from Pro tier ≈ 6 months of the other tool's subscription.

I'm not 8(a) yet. Will this still help?

Yes. Set-aside matching covers 8(a), SDB, MBE, DBE, WOSB, EDWOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, and NAICS-based small. If you have one cert, you get matched on that one. As you add certs, the feed and digest expand.

Who's behind this?

Orshay Group — a Shreveport-based government technology firm with 18 years of federal IT experience. The founder is a certified federal contractor actively bidding alongside you. Orshay Intel was built because the existing tools didn't understand certifications, pipeline tracking, or proposal drafting for small certified firms.

Can I just buy proposal writing without the SaaS?

Yes. See orshaygroup.com/proposal-services — $5K–$20K per proposal, no subscription required. Many customers start there and move to Pro once they're bidding regularly.

What if I cancel?

Month-to-month. Cancel any time. Beta customers who paid annual get a prorated refund.

Looking for done-for-you proposal writing instead?

Orshay Proposal Services — same founder, same cert stack, no subscription required. $5K–$20K flat per proposal + win bonus. Often the right starting point if you have one big RFP on the table.
