GovCon Teaming in 2026: Why the "Old Way" is Costing You Contracts

Let’s be honest: Government contracting (GovCon) has always been a bit of a manual grind. You spend hours digging through SAM.gov, making cold calls that go nowhere, and hoping to meet the right partner at a crowded trade show.

In our latest webinar, we showed why 2026 is the year we leave those old habits behind. Here is a simple breakdown of how AI is changing the game and how our Proact platform is leading the charge.

1. The Problem: The "Manual Struggle" is Real

During the webinar, we talked about the "struggle" many of us feel. Searching for the right Prime or Sub-contractor one by one is exhausting. Most companies rely on:

• Manual research on SAM.gov, FPDS or DSBS (Time-consuming)
• Cold emails that get ignored (Frustrating)
• Trade shows to network quickly (Expensive)

The AI Shift: In 2026, we don’t need to do this manually. Proact uses data to analyze public procurement and brings it all into one place.

2. How It Works (The 3-Minute Demo Recap)

We did a live demo to show how easy partnership-building can be. Here’s the workflow:

1. AI Meets Your Company: You simply enter your website. Proact’s AI studies what you do (e.g., "We provide cybersecurity consulting services.").
2. The Perfect Match: The AI scans thousands of active government bids to find the ones that fit your skills perfectly.
3. Targeting the "Primes": It finds companies that have already won contracts with agencies like the Navy or Air Force. These are your ideal partners.
4. The "Hands-Free" Agent: Instead of sending one email, Proact sends hundreds of hyper-personalized messages. It’s like having a 24/7 sales assistant.

3. You Asked, We Answered (Q&A Highlights)

We had a very interactive session with some great questions. Here are the simplified answers to the most common ones:

• "Is my data safe?" Yes. We use secure AWS and Microsoft Azure environments. Your private company data is never "fed" into public AI models.
• "Does this work for local agencies?" Absolutely. We cover Federal data, but also SLED (State, Local, and Education) data, including specialized data for California and US Army projects in South Korea.
• "How much does it cost?" It’s free to start. You only pay a flat monthly fee after we successfully arrange a meeting for you. If there’s no meeting, there’s no charge.

4. Why It’s Working (The Results)

We’re not just talking; we’re delivering. Proact users are seeing:

• 35% Open Rates: People actually read our emails because they are personalized.
• 10 Replies per Campaign: On average, our users get about 10 real conversations started per outreach effort.
