Procurement Sciences AI

What Procurement Sciences AI does

Procurement Sciences AI, founded in 2022 by U.S. military veteran and government contracting executive Christian Ferreira and headquartered in Washington, D.C., develops the Awarded AI platform — a generative AI-native end-to-end software platform purpose-built for businesses that pursue government contracts. The platform unifies the full government contracting lifecycle (opportunity search, bid/no-bid analysis, capture planning, proposal drafting, compliance automation, pricing intelligence, and contract delivery) through modules including AI Chat, AI Draft, AI Review, Bid Search, Pipeline, Contacts, and Datahub, with deployment on Microsoft Azure Commercial, Azure Government Cloud, or customer-managed on-premise environments. The underlying architecture is single-tenant with stateless zero-retention LLM inference across multiple model providers (Azure OpenAI, Gemini on Vertex, Anthropic), supporting FedRAMP Moderate Authorization, SOC 2 Type 2, and CMMC Level 2 compliance for CUI-handling federal workloads.

The company serves more than 3,000 government contractors across federal, state, local, and grants markets — including 40+ of the Top 100 largest government contractors — and has expanded into adjacent verticals (Aerospace & Defense, Architecture/Engineering/Construction, Higher Education, Non-Profits, IT Consulting). Revenue is generated through recurring SaaS subscriptions for the Awarded AI platform (with the HigherGov market intelligence module offered as an add-on at a launch program rate), partner program revenue via Platinum resellers (Lohfeld Consulting, BTW & Co.), and professional services including embedded AI Strategists, onboarding, and the Awarded AI Certification Program. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales (Request a Demo), an inside-sales motion (Request Pricing and an interactive ROI Calculator), a free 'AI Win Strategy' lead-generation tool, and a Platinum Partner channel program.

Two acquisitions in 2026 — Rogue AI (February) and HigherGov (May) — added agentic workflow automation and a market-intelligence data layer covering 1,000+ federal, grant, and SLED sources with 100M+ indexed data points. The company has raised $40M+ cumulatively, including a $30M Series B led by Catalyst Investors in November 2025 with participation from Battery Ventures, Tower Research Ventures, K-Street Capital, Blu Ventures, Bosch Ventures, Citi, and strategic industry angels. The leadership team carries 500+ years of combined government contracting experience and includes executives across CTO, CISO, CFO, CRO, CGO, and a Director of AI/ML.
