How does RFI Hawk help small businesses find government contracts?
Three steps from opportunity to proposal.
Whether you are a sole proprietor or a 50-person firm, RFI Hawk gives you the capture, proposal, and compliance tools the big primes use, in a form a small business can actually run. You do not need a proposal department.
See How It Works
This is what writing a government proposal looks like on RFI Hawk. The AI handles the drafting. You bring the judgment.
What is included in the platform?
RFI Hawk combines opportunity intelligence, proposal automation, and compliance tracking in one platform built for small businesses.
The math does not work for small business.
Proposal pursuit costs typically range from 3% to 5% of total contract value for small businesses. On a $5 million contract, that is $150,000 to $250,000 in pursuit costs, including labor, consultants, and production, before you have won a single dollar.
The current system rewards companies with dedicated capture teams and proposal departments. If you are a 20-person company where the CEO is also the BD lead, the proposal writer, and the program manager, you are fighting with one hand tied behind your back.
Half the time, you do all that work and still do not win. The question is not whether you can do the work. It is whether you can afford to bid on it.
Cut your proposal costs and the math changes. That savings is either extra money in your pocket, more opportunities you can pursue, a more competitive bid price, or all three. You win contracts. The taxpayer gets better value. Everybody comes out ahead.
What does the AI proposal writer do?
The Proposal Architect is not a generic text generator. It reads the solicitation, maps evaluation criteria, and generates section-by-section drafts written from the government evaluator's perspective. It threads your win themes through every section, checks every compliance requirement, and scores the result before you export.
Feed it your past submissions, capability statements, resumes, and past performance records. The more context you provide, the more the output sounds like your best proposal writer on their best day.
It does not replace your judgment or your relationships. It eliminates the 80% of proposal work that is formatting, compliance checking, cross-referencing, and boilerplate adaptation. You focus on strategy, technical approach, and pricing.
Large primes have dedicated capture managers, proposal writers, pricing analysts, and compliance reviewers. That team costs $500K+ per year to maintain. RFI Hawk puts those capabilities in your hands for less than the cost of a single consultant day per month.
CMMC compliance without the $25,000 consultant.
The CMMC Compliance Suite covers all three certification levels with guided assessment, automated document generation, and continuous monitoring. Built for small businesses navigating CMMC for the first time.
Level 2: 110 controls, 320 assessment objectives, SPRS scoring.
Level 3: 24 enhanced controls for advanced persistent threats.
Every compliance action is recorded to a timestamped activity trail with user attribution. When your assessor asks "when was this control implemented?", you have a dated, attributable answer pulled straight from the system.
Built for the companies that do the work.
If you can do the work but the proposal process or the compliance burden is what stops you, this was built for you.
What does it really cost to pursue a government contract?
These numbers represent the current reality for small businesses in federal contracting. RFI Hawk is designed to help change that math.

Frequently Asked Questions About Government Contracting Software
What is RFI Hawk?
RFI Hawk helps small businesses find federal contracts that fit them, see how strong a fit each one is, draft a real proposal in hours instead of weeks, and stay on top of compliance from CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) to FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation). Plans start at $59 per month. A free tier is available.
Who is RFI Hawk built for?
Small businesses bidding on federal contracts. That includes first-time bidders, veteran-owned businesses, woman-owned businesses, 8(a), HUBZone, and other set-aside firms, and small primes that wear every hat at once. The whole platform is designed for the case where one or two people are doing the work of a whole proposal department. Larger primes use it too, but the design choices favor the small business.
Can RFI Hawk write a government proposal for me?
The proposal writer drafts every section in your voice, threads your win themes across the document, checks every compliance requirement, and runs a strength check before you export. You give the strategic direction and the final review. RFI Hawk handles the formatting, the cross-referencing, and the boilerplate adaptation that eats your nights and weekends.
Does RFI Hawk help with CMMC compliance?
Yes. RFI Hawk includes a full CMMC Compliance Suite covering all three certification levels. For Level 2, it guides users through all 110 NIST 800-171 controls at the assessment-objective level (320 determination statements), generates a complete System Security Plan, calculates SPRS scores, enforces POA&M rules with 180-day closeout tracking, maps cloud shared responsibility for M365 GCC High, AWS GovCloud, and other environments, generates 14 policy templates, manages evidence artifacts, monitors regulatory changes daily, and simulates assessment readiness with mock C3PAO questions. Every action is recorded to a timestamped activity trail with user attribution.
How much does RFI Hawk cost?
RFI Hawk offers a free tier with basic opportunity discovery. Paid plans start at $59 per month for individual contractors, with team plans available for organizations. PTAC and institutional licensing is available for procurement assistance centers serving multiple clients.
What kinds of opportunities will I see?
Active federal solicitations, upcoming agency forecasts, innovation research and small-business research awards, federal grants, and historical award records used for price benchmarking. Everything is refreshed daily and ranked against your business profile. You see the matches first, with the strongest fit at the top.
Is RFI Hawk FedRAMP certified?
RFI Hawk is not currently FedRAMP certified. The platform is on a roadmap toward FedRAMP equivalency, with NIST 800-171 aligned security controls already in place. The platform's CMMC Compliance Suite is secured with AES-256-GCM encryption, NIST 800-53 aligned controls, and a timestamped activity trail with user attribution. Current security practices are documented on the Trust Center page. For organizations requiring FedRAMP authorization, contact the team to discuss timeline and requirements.
Does RFI Hawk keep an audit trail?
Yes. Significant actions across the platform, including proposal drafts, compliance assessments, evidence uploads, and document generation, are recorded with timestamps and user attribution. This creates a defensible activity record that auditors, C3PAOs, and legal counsel can use to reconstruct what happened, when, and by whom.
How much does RFI Hawk cost?
Most of the platform is free. You only pay when the AI does work for you, like drafting a proposal section. Plans start at $59 per month if you want to draft a lot of proposals.

A token is the unit RFI Hawk uses to charge for AI work. One token is roughly four characters of text input or output. Drafting a typical proposal section uses about 5,000 tokens. Your plan refills tokens at the start of every billing month. Unused tokens do not roll over.
If you run out of tokens, you can buy a token pack from Settings, or wait until your plan refills.
- 100,000 tokens: $19
- 500,000 tokens: $79
- 2,000,000 tokens: $249
Token packs do not expire.
Free tier includes a one-time 25,000 token trial. No credit card required. Annual plans save two months.
RFI Hawk was built by a veteran and small business owner who got tired of watching good companies lose to better proposal writers. The tools that existed were built for Lockheed, not for you. So he built one that was.
