Procurement Sciences Acquires HigherGov: One Platform to Find and Win Government Contracts

‍Why We Acquired HigherGov

HigherGov is the leading government market intelligence and opportunity discovery platform in the government contracting market. Contractors use it every day to find federal and state and local opportunities, track forecasts and recompetes, research government buyers, identify teaming partners, and analyze contract vehicles.

What makes HigherGov different is not just the data. It is how the platform turns that data into action. Most opportunity search tools show you what is already publicly posted. HigherGov helps you see what is coming, often months before the formal solicitation drops.

That is the difference between reacting and winning.

We have been watching HigherGov for a long time. The platform has a meaningful presence in the government contracting market, a loyal customer base, and a product that grew without venture funding or a sales team, built by a focused founder whose work speaks for itself.

"Data is the new oil, and access to it has been the single biggest restriction on pushing our agents to the next level. With HigherGov, we now have unrestricted access to the largest government contracting data source in the market, paired with business-specific agents purpose-built for finding, winning, and delivering government contracts. That combination did not exist before today." - Christian Ferreira, CEO & Founder, Procurement Sciences

What Is HigherGov?

For anyone encountering HigherGov for the first time, here is what the platform covers:

• Federal opportunity discovery - real-time solicitations and pre-solicitations across all federal agencies
• Forecasted opportunities - visibility into likely work months or years before formal release
• Recompete tracking - expiring contracts and grants likely to have follow-on opportunities
• Government buyer research - procurement officers and contracting organizations active in your target market
• Teaming partner finder - primes, subs, and strategic partners aligned to real market evidence
• Contract vehicle analysis - understanding which vehicles control access to the work you want
• Task-order visibility - eBuy, Symphony, and vehicle-based task orders centralized in one workflow
• State and local opportunity discovery - 60,000+ agencies across all 50 states
• Labor-rate benchmarking - competitive pricing intelligence for proposals and schedule submissions

The Problem We Are Solving Together

Every government contractor faces the same two challenges. First: finding the right opportunities at the right time. Second: responding to those opportunities well enough to win.

Until now, those two problems required different tools, different workflows, and different vendor relationships. HigherGov solves the first problem better than anyone. Awarded AI solves the second.

Together, we solve both.

HigherGov is the front of the funnel. Awarded AI is the engine that converts opportunities into awards. With both inside one secure AI ecosystem, contractors finally have a single platform that covers the full lifecycle, from the moment they identify an opportunity to the moment they submit a winning proposal.

Where We Are Headed

This acquisition is not a finish line. It is a starting point.

In the immediate term we are focused on three things: getting customers of both platforms access to the combined value, integrating the two products so opportunity intelligence flows directly into proposal and capture workflows, and building the education programs that help our customers use both tools together effectively.

In the longer term, we are building the platform that covers everything a government contractor needs to grow, from the moment they identify a potential opportunity to the moment they submit a winning proposal.

We believe the best platform for government growth is the one that earns the highest win rate for its customers. That is what we are building.

"We are a mission-driven company. Our leadership team has more than 500 years of combined experience in government contracting, and that depth is what has allowed us to build a platform tied to a real vision: changing how companies sell to the government, grounded in firsthand experience from people who have actually been in the trenches." - Christian Ferreira, CEO & Founder, Procurement Sciences
