Win more federal work.
Chase the right opportunities.
The guided path from federal opportunity to award. Cairn scans SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and USAspending, scores each notice against your capability profile, and moves the best ones through a disciplined capture pipeline — with AI that does the busywork and drafts proposals in your company’s own voice.
One system of record for federal capture.
From first notice to submitted proposal — search, qualify, pursue, and submit without leaving one screen.
Fit-ranked opportunity search
Every SAM.gov and Grants.gov notice scored 0–100 against your NAICS codes, past performance, and capabilities narrative — with the reasons spelled out.
AI capture assistant
An assistant that acts on your pipeline: moves pursuits between stages, drafts executive summaries, and flags missing proposal artifacts before deadlines.
Pipeline tracking
A disciplined five-stage board — Identified through Submitted — with pipeline value, gate reviews, and red-flagged deadlines you can't miss.
SAM.gov profile auto-fill
Enter your UEI once. Cairn pulls your registration, CAGE code, business types, and NAICS codes straight from SAM.gov and keeps them in sync.
Solicitation shred & compliance matrix
Drop in the RFP or funding notice. AI tears it into a checklist of every requirement and a proposed section outline you approve — so nothing buried in Section L slips through.
Proposals drafted in your voice
Upload your past proposals once. The AI learns your company’s writing style, and every draft is grounded in the reference documents you pick per pursuit — so first drafts sound like your team, not a template.
See Cairn in action.
Six screens, one system of record. Pick a feature to watch the work it takes off your desk.
Every SAM.gov and Grants.gov notice is scored 0–100 against your NAICS codes, set-asides, past performance, and capabilities narrative — so your morning is the twenty notices that fit, not the twelve hundred that were published.
Ask in plain language. The assistant reads the pursuit, moves it between stages, and drafts the executive summary — and every change it wants to make to your pipeline waits for your approval first.
Identified, Qualifying, Pursuing, Proposal, Submitted — then Won, Lost, or No-bid. Gated stages make you record a bid/no-bid decision before a pursuit can advance, so nothing drifts forward on momentum alone.
Enter your UEI once. Cairn pulls your registration status, CAGE code, business types, and NAICS codes straight from SAM.gov, then keeps them in sync — the same profile every fit score is measured against.
Drop in the RFP or funding announcement. The AI reads it end to end and returns two things: a compliance matrix of every requirement, and a proposed section outline you approve — so nothing buried in Section L slips through.
Upload your past proposals once and the AI distils your tone, structure, and phrasing into a voice profile. Every draft mirrors it and is grounded in the reference documents you pick per pursuit — style from your library, facts from this solicitation.
Questions teams ask before they sign up.
The three we hear most, in short. Fit scoring, set-asides, grants, and what the AI is allowed to touch are answered in full on the questions page.
