The AI-native operating system built to help businesses find, win and deliver government contracts.
PSci.AI - the logo of Procurement Sciences, the Washington, D.C. software company whose Awarded AI platform now underpins more than $100 billion in AI-assisted government contract awards.
Every year, roughly a trillion dollars of government work is up for grabs - and much of it still moves on Word documents, spreadsheets and the tribal knowledge of overworked proposal teams. A request for proposal lands, a clock starts, and small companies scramble to assemble compliant responses in a window measured in days. Procurement Sciences, a Washington, D.C. company founded in 2022, set out to change the shape of that scramble.
Its product, Awarded AI, is pitched as an AI-native platform for the entire government contracting lifecycle: finding opportunities, deciding which to chase, drafting the proposal, checking it for compliance, and delivering the work. The premise is simple and blunt. As founder and CEO Christian Ferreira puts it, "work that once took weeks now takes minutes."
That claim would be easy to dismiss as software marketing, except for the numbers now attached to it. After acquiring the market-intelligence platform HigherGov in May 2026, Procurement Sciences says its combined tools serve more than 3,000 government contractors - including close to half of the industry Top 100 - and have contributed to over $100 billion in AI-assisted awarded contracts.
Figures reported by the company at its November 2025 Series B and its May 2026 acquisition of HigherGov. Contract-award figures are AI-assisted totals across the combined platform.
Government contracting is a sequence that repeats endlessly: find an opportunity, decide whether to bid, write the proposal, review it for compliance, then deliver. Historically each step lived in a different tool - or in someone's head. Procurement Sciences mapped that whole loop and placed an AI agent at every stage.
The customer base spans the full range of the sector. On one end are small businesses trying to punch above their weight against firms with dedicated proposal shops. On the other are four of the top 10 defense and aerospace primes. In between sit IT, logistics and consulting firms, architecture-engineering-construction companies, higher-education institutions and nonprofits. The user base grew from roughly 300 organizations at the Series B to more than 3,000 after the HigherGov deal.
The core pain is time and compliance. Federal proposals are dense, deadline-driven and unforgiving of formatting errors or missed requirements. Miss a single "shall" statement in a compliance matrix and a technically excellent bid can be thrown out. Procurement Sciences' AI Draft generates drafts, outlines and compliance matrices the company markets as roughly 90% faster than manual work, while AI Review checks submissions against custom evaluation criteria and flags gaps before a human evaluator ever sees them.
"Data is the new oil, but in government contracting, the real advantage is turning opportunity, award, agency, competitor, teaming, and pricing intelligence into action."- Christian Ferreira, Founder & CEO

Headcount tracked the same curve, growing from 16 employees around the Series A to 70-plus by late 2025, with further expansion after folding in HigherGov's team.
Government contracting software is not empty territory. Deltek's GovWin IQ and Costpoint, Unanet, Rogue, AutogenAI, Capture2, TechnoMile, GovSpend and Govly all court the same buyers. Many are strong at one slice of the workflow - market intelligence here, ERP and compliance accounting there, proposal automation somewhere else.
Procurement Sciences' wager is that contractors would rather run the whole loop in one place than stitch seven tools together. Being built AI-first from 2022, rather than bolting generative features onto legacy software, is the argument it leans on. The HigherGov acquisition sharpened that position: it added the market-intelligence data layer the platform's AI agents could feed on, closing the gap between knowing about an opportunity and acting on it.
The company also frames AI as a collaborator, not a replacement. A human stays in the loop on every draft and review - a positioning that matters in a sector where accountability and auditability are not optional.
