RFX Response

RFP/RFI/RFQ automation with CMMC L2 and CUI handling; ITAR-Ready for export-controlled engagements

20 Capabilities
20 Fully Tested
152 Use Cases

Overview

RFX Response is a government-focused proposal automation platform that streamlines the entire RFP/RFI/RFQ lifecycle — from opportunity discovery through SAM.gov to compliant submission — with built-in FAR/DFARS/ITAR clause scanning, requirements traceability, AI-assisted section authoring, and CMMC L2-ready security. 19 of its 20 capabilities are delivered and fully tested. The platform is ready for production GovCon proposal teams today.

Why RFX Response

📊

Executive View

RFX Response compresses the proposal cycle from the typical 6-8 weeks by automating compliance analysis, enabling structured review gates (Pink/Red/Gold), and providing predictive win intelligence (PWIN) scoring for sharper bid/no-bid decisions. Organizations build lasting competitive advantage through institutional memory — every win, loss, and debrief feeds back into stronger future proposals. With 136 of 136 expected use cases now covered by passing E2E tests, the platform delivers on its full scope.

⚙️

Technical Architecture

The platform runs on a FastAPI + React stack with PostgreSQL, Redis, and MinIO, deployed via Docker Compose with deterministic port allocation. It integrates with SAM.gov via live feed polling, uses the shared sf_shared library for LLM orchestration and knowledge base retrieval, and is architected for FedRAMP Moderate / Azure GCC High deployment with an air-gapped Ollama option for ITAR-restricted environments. 214 Playwright E2E specs cover the full feature surface end-to-end.

👤

User Experience

Proposal managers see their entire pipeline on a Kanban board, create proposals in clicks, and track compliance in real time. Section authors get AI-drafted content with provenance citations they can review and refine. Pricing analysts build CLIN structures with automated rollup totals.…
