Teaming & joint ventures

Small firms win big contracts together. We built the platform for it.

Whether you are the prime, the sub or the joint venture, ContractForgeAI runs the teaming work every other proposal tool skips: briefs, data calls, partner past performance, capability coverage and member consent.

You're the prime

  • Send each partner a teaming brief they answer line by line, with no account needed
  • Collect partner past performance through a secure link
  • See which capability gaps each partner fills before you commit

You're the sub

  • Drop in the prime's data call and it fills itself from your records
  • Every answer shows where it came from; you confirm or fix it
  • Export it in the prime's own format, with a gap report. Free on every plan

You're a joint venture

  • Bid as the JV, with each member's facts, certifications and past performance attributed
  • Every member sees the effort and consents before submission
  • The JV signs: offeror line, signatory block, per-member reps & certs

A teaming brief partners actually answer

Send each partner one secure link. They see the opportunity, the work you want from them and every commitment you're asking for, then answer each one: agree, ask a question, or decline with a note. No account and no back-and-forth email thread. Their answers land on the effort, line by line.

Partner past performance comes the same way: a secure link the partner fills in, with no account needed.

See the gaps before you sign a teaming agreement

Agent Q reads the PWS into capability areas and scores your company 0–4 on each from your own past performance and certifications. Add partners and the matrix shows who covers what, where you are thin and which partner closes the gap.

Ask a partner only for the areas you need, not their whole corporate profile.

Answer a prime's data call in minutes

Upload the prime's data call spreadsheet or document. ContractForgeAI finds every item it asks for and fills each one from your registration, past performance and confirmed company facts, citing the source. You confirm, fix or fill the rest, and anything you confirm is remembered for the next prime.

Export in the prime's own Word or Excel format, with a gap report of anything still missing.

Bid as the joint venture, not around it

Mentor-protégé and 8(a) joint ventures win work none of their members could win alone, but most tools treat the JV as one more company. ContractForgeAI knows which member brings which past performance, clearance and certification. It writes the proposal as the JV and never borrows one member's socio-economic status for the whole team.

One JV, many members

Invite member companies, set the managing member and workshare, and switch between bidding as yourself or as the JV with one control.

Consent before it goes out

Each member reviews a consent brief of the commitments made in its name. Submission waits until every member has signed off.

A package the CO can verify

The submission checklist adds the JV agreement, SBA approval letter, each member's reps & certs, and a populated or unpopulated statement when the solicitation asks for one.

The JV's schedule, priced as the JV's

Hold a GSA Schedule as the joint venture and price task orders against it, with ceiling checks, discounts and SINs on every labor category.
