In government contracting, even the best-written proposal won’t save you from the wrong assumptions about your competitors. And no amount of AI will either — because the real edge doesn’t come from automation, it comes from insight. Whether you’re targeting a must-win recompete or chasing a new contract in unfamiliar terrain, one thing is certain: you need to know who you’re really up against — and how they win.
That’s where we come in.
Custom Competitive Intelligence. Built From Scratch.
At Kinetic, we don’t believe in off-the-shelf intel. Every Competitive Intelligence Report we deliver is hand-built for a specific client and a specific opportunity. We use a blend of:
- OSINT — award databases, teaming announcements, GovWin, Govtribe, HighrerGov, USA Spending, FPDS, SAM/FBO activity, and more
- Internal proprietary datasets — honed through years of field experience
- Mission-savvy analysts — who know what to look for, and where to find it
The result? A tactical, decision-ready report that gives our clients a true edge — not a recycled competitor profile or boilerplate summary.
What’s in a Kinetic Competitive Intelligence Report?
Each report is custom-scoped around your needs, but often includes:
- Includes Top Strengths and Weaknesses of the most likely bidders and the client
- Deep dives into the competition’s recent wins, bid behaviors, and pricing patterns
- Teaming relationships, subcontracting footprints, and notable partner shifts
- Detailed competitive assessments to support go/no-go decisions
- Strategic notes on how your offer might stack up and how your competitors likely will
- Detailed Proposal Strategies to Fuel Your Writing Teams
These reports are used by our clients to shape strategy, build smarter teams, and avoid blind spots that derail even the most technically sound proposals with strengths clearly identified and potential competitive weaknesses overcome.
Top Strengths and Weaknesses
Based on the competitive intelligence we collect, we build a high-level view of the top 3 strengths and weaknesses found in both the likely competitors we discovered. We also run the client through the same analysis and determine where they also have those top 3 strengths and weaknesses. The outcome provides a snapshot into the competitive landscape and where the client fits in, or doesn’t.
Powered by a Growing Intelligence Engine
We don’t just work report to report. In addition to building RFP-specific dossiers on the competition, our Competitive Intel work is also powered by broader efforts like our OASIS+ Awardee Competitive Database—a living tool tracking awardees, teaming trends, capabilities, and performance dynamics across domains.
While that tracker is currently internal, it’s a key part of how we deliver rapid insight to clients targeting OASIS+ task orders — and it reflects our long-term investment in actionable intelligence. In the future, we intend to extend the databases to clients for direct use.
