Complete Your Workspace Profile
After logging in, complete your workspace profile to enable AI guidance and compliance features. You will be asked for:
- Company name and UEI (Unique Entity Identifier)
- Primary NAICS codes (your business classifications)
- Contracting model — Prime, Subcontractor, or Both
- Active certifications (8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB, etc.)
You can update these details at any time under Settings → Workspace.
Explore the Sidebar Navigation
All major features are accessible from the sidebar on the left. The sidebar is organized by the contracting lifecycle: Opportunities → Proposals → Contracts → Finance → Compliance → AI Tools.
Dashboard Overview
Your dashboard is your command center. Each time you log in, it gives you an at-a-glance view of your workspace health and what needs attention.
- Pipeline Summary: Active opportunities, proposals in progress, and live contracts
- Upcoming Deadlines: Proposal due dates, contract milestones, and compliance deadlines
- AI Guidance Panel: Personalized next-step recommendations generated by the AI engine
- Recent Activity: Latest updates across all records in your workspace
- Quick Actions: One-click buttons to create a new opportunity, proposal, or contract
Tip: Check the AI Guidance panel daily — it surfaces compliance gaps, expiring deadlines, and pipeline recommendations tailored to your workspace.
Key Workflows
Opportunities
Track federal opportunities from discovery through bid decision. For each opportunity you can record the agency, NAICS codes, solicitation number, and due date. Link opportunities to proposals once you decide to bid.
Proposals
Manage your proposal pipeline from draft through award decision. Create proposals linked to opportunities, track status (Draft, Submitted, Won, Lost), store proposal documents, and monitor review cycles and due dates.
Contracts
Administer active contracts with built-in compliance guidance. Record contract value, period of performance, CLIN structure, and agency details. Track health metrics, manage modifications, and monitor FAR compliance requirements.
Finance & Invoicing
Track invoices, payments, and financial performance by contract. Set up invoice schedules, record payments, and monitor outstanding balances. Finance data feeds into your dashboard metrics.
Compliance Matrix
Maintain a compliance matrix for each contract. Track FAR clauses, reporting requirements, and certification renewals. The system will alert you when compliance items are due or overdue.
Using AI Features
PrimeContractorOS includes AI-powered tools to accelerate your work and surface risks before they become problems.
AI Guidance (Dashboard)
The AI engine continuously analyzes your workspace and generates personalized next-step recommendations. These appear on your dashboard and cover:
- Which opportunities to pursue based on your NAICS codes and past performance
- Compliance gaps that need immediate attention
- Proposal improvement opportunities
- Contract risk alerts and expiring deadlines
AI Findings Workspace
Navigate to AI Findings in the sidebar to run a workspace-wide AI analysis. Click the purple Run AI Analysis button to generate findings. Each finding is categorized as:
- Compliance — regulatory or contractual requirements that need attention
- Risk — potential issues that could affect performance or award
- Missing Item — required documents or data that are absent
- Inconsistency — conflicting information across records
- Opportunity — areas where you can improve your competitive position
Review each finding and either Approve (creates a task) or Reject (dismisses it). Approved findings automatically generate action items in your task list.
Proposal AI Suggestions
When creating or editing a proposal, use the AI suggestion feature to get recommendations for improving your proposal narrative, pricing strategy, and compliance language based on the solicitation requirements.
Best practice: Run AI Analysis at least once per week on active contracts and before submitting any proposal to catch issues early.
File Management
All your contracting documents live in one secure, searchable place. Files are automatically linked to the records they belong to.
- Upload: Attach RFQs, proposals, contracts, amendments, compliance docs, and supporting materials directly to any record
- Organize: Files are tagged to their parent record (opportunity, proposal, contract) for easy retrieval
- Version tracking: Upload updated versions of documents and track revision history
- Search: Find any file by name, date, or associated record from the Files section
- Download: Export any file at any time — your data is always yours
All files are securely stored with encryption at rest and in transit. There is no file size limit for standard documents.
Contacts, Tasks & Messaging
Contacts
Maintain a centralized contact database for agencies, prime contractors, subcontractors, teaming partners, and key stakeholders. Link contacts to specific opportunities and contracts so you always know who to call.
Tasks
Create and assign tasks for yourself and your team. Each task can be linked to an opportunity, proposal, or contract. Set due dates, assign owners, and track completion status. Tasks approved from AI Findings are automatically created here.
Messaging
Communicate with team members directly within the platform. Messages are tied to specific records so conversations stay in context. Use messaging for internal coordination rather than email to keep everything in one place.
Team Management
Workspace owners can invite team members under Settings → Team. Each member gets access to the full workspace. Contact the platform administrator if you need to adjust access levels.
Tips & Best Practices
- Keep your profile current: Accurate NAICS codes and certifications improve AI guidance quality
- Use consistent naming conventions: Name records clearly (e.g., "USAF IDIQ — IT Services 2025") so your team can find them
- Link records together: Connect opportunities → proposals → contracts to maintain a complete pipeline view
- Review AI guidance daily: New recommendations appear as your workspace data changes
- Attach source documents immediately: Upload RFQs and solicitations when you create an opportunity — don't wait
- Use tasks for all action items: If something needs to be done, create a task so it doesn't get lost
- Run AI Analysis before major submissions: Catch compliance gaps before they become proposal disqualifiers
- Communicate through the platform: Use messaging instead of email for discussions tied to specific records
- Log out when done: Use the Sign Out button in the sidebar user menu to end your session securely
