Section 1
The premise
A federal RFP drops with a 30-page SOW, 200-page solicitation, and a 14-day response window. AI can build the compliance matrix, draft the technical narrative, and pre-fill the cost templates — leaving your capture team to focus on the win themes.
What AI does well here
- Build a compliance matrix from a SOW (every shall-statement to a response location).
- Draft technical narrative sections from your past-performance library.
- Pre-fill cost templates from your rate cards.
- Generate proofreading checklists for the formatting requirements.
What AI cannot do
- Replace the human writing of the win themes that beat competitors.
- Know which evaluator is on this panel and what they reward.
- Catch a missed certification or set-aside requirement.
