CaptureIQ
One governed platform from federal opportunity to winning pursuit — discovery, qualification, capture and review-ready proposals.
By Smart Logic AI, Inc. · 0.0/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- Small and mid-sized federal contractors that need discovery, qualification, capture and proposal materials in one governed workflow
- Founder-led GovCon businesses and lean BD teams with limited proposal capacity
- Capture managers running multiple pursuits who need structured bid/no-bid review and a decision trail
- Contractors who want transparent self-service pricing without enterprise CRM overhead or a sales call
Ideal size: 1–10 people · Lean GovCon BD/capture team with a repeatable federal pursuit pipeline
Not for
- Teams that want fully autonomous drafting and submission — CaptureIQ requires named human authorization and never auto-submits
- Contractors needing FedRAMP or defense-grade authorization today, which CaptureIQ states it does not hold
- Organizations pursuing purely commercial revenue, since discovery is built on SAM.gov, Grants.gov and USAspending
- Large enterprises looking for a full CRM, accounting or ERP system of record

Bottom line
CaptureIQ is federal capture and RFP software from Smart Logic AI for small and mid-sized government contractors. One human-controlled workflow: find SAM.gov opportunities, qualify them against approved capabilities, decide bid/no-bid, build review-ready proposal packets with compliance matrices, and forecast award timing and cash. Plans start at $249/month with no setup fee and self-service onboarding. AI output stays reviewable and proposals are never auto-submitted.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get value from CaptureIQ?
The vendor offers a 7-day free trial and says controlled demonstrations have produced multiple review-ready packet drafts within minutes. Onboarding is self-serve on Starter and Scout, guided setup on Pursuit, and live onboarding on Command, with no setup fee. Realistically, first production value arrives within days rather than a multi-quarter implementation.
What does CaptureIQ cost and are there implementation fees?
No setup fee on any plan. Starter is $249/month (monthly only), Scout $499/month or $4,790/year, Pursuit $1,299/month or $12,470/year, and Command $2,499/month or $23,990/year; annual billing saves about 20%. Plans are priced by completed proposal packets per month and AI refinement allowances. Market intelligence costs $100 per notice to unlock on Starter, Scout and Pursuit, and federal grant discovery is a separate add-on for subscribers (included on Command).
Does CaptureIQ submit or approve proposals automatically?
No. The vendor states CaptureIQ does not autonomously approve or submit proposals. Rules run before model analysis, AI-assisted outputs remain reviewable, named reviewers approve progression or request changes, and each decision is recorded in the Decision Ledger. Accountable users retain authority over bid/no-bid calls, proposal approval and submission.
Which data sources and integrations does CaptureIQ connect to?
It ingests federal opportunities from SAM.gov, dedupes on notice ID, and adds Grants.gov and USAspending data, including prior-award and incumbent intelligence. Outputs export as DOCX and PDF. No packaged connectors to CRM, ERP or cloud data platforms, and no MCP server, are documented on the pages available.
Is CaptureIQ FedRAMP authorized or SOC 2 certified?
CaptureIQ states it is not FedRAMP or defense-grade authorized, listing FedRAMP authorization as 'Not authorized'. Smart Logic AI reports completing a SOC 2 Type II commercial examination at company level, while CaptureIQ application certification is described as a published goal. No other certifications such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, ISO 42001 or CMMC are claimed on the pages reviewed.
Who is CaptureIQ built for?
Lean federal capture teams: small and mid-sized government contractors, founder-led GovCon businesses, capture managers running multiple pursuits, and BD teams with limited proposal capacity that do not want enterprise CRM overhead. Purely commercial organizations, large enterprises seeking a system of record, and teams wanting fully autonomous drafting are not the target.
