Market entry intelligence for US federal contracting.

Open Bridger Daily Brief

The US government will spend roughly $750 billion this year. By the time any of it shows up on SAM.gov, it has already been decided.

Appropriations bills, committee markups, agency forecasts, GAO bid protests, OFAC entity-list updates — the signal that decides who wins moves six to twelve months ahead of the RFP. Incumbents pay fifty thousand dollars a year for that signal. Everyone else competes blind.

For allied technology firms it is worse. They arrive cold into a regulatory landscape they don't speak, and the partners who could shorten the path are invisible without a local network.

Bridger is the platform we built so they don't have to.

I

Intelligence

About twenty-three hundred procurement signals flow into the index every week — SAM.gov, FPDS, GAO, OFAC, Congress.gov, agency forecasts, allied defense ministries, the Federal Register.

A clustering layer synthesizes them into roughly a thousand confidence-rated assessments. A Country Instability Index scores the markets that matter. Every opportunity is matched against a contractor's profile across five separate signals, and the system will not generate a rationale unless at least two of them actually fired.

II

Marketplace

Three search surfaces on one fit-scoring engine. Providers — C3PAOs, proposal writers, incorporation specialists, JV partners, manufacturers. Lobbyists by specialty. Tech Scout for the fourteen hundred allied technology firms vetted across sixty-plus countries.

Warm introductions at the point of intent. Not a directory you have to remember to open.

III

Capture

A pipeline that knows what stage you're in. An AI-generated capture brief built from the opportunity, the profile, and the match intelligence. A capability statement and past performance auto-filled from one canonical record, so nothing drifts.

The distance between I'm watching this and I'm submitting on this, closed.

§ The allied moat

The compliance regimes other tools won't touch.

Bridger indexes the regulatory regimes that govern who can sell what, side by side: 🇺🇸 ITAR with AUKUS Final Rule (§ 126.7) eligibility, 🇺🇸 FOCI and 🇺🇸 CFIUS, 🇺🇸 ECCN and BIS licensing, 🇦🇺 DSGL and 🇦🇺 DISP on the Australian side, 🇬🇧 List X on the UK side.

No general procurement tool tracks these together. That's the layer that makes allied entry tractable.
