Why Choose Costpoint Proposals
Built Into the System You Already Run
Pursue More Opportunities
Build every proposal on the opportunity and project context already living in Costpoint, so your team can pursue more qualified opportunities without adding headcount.
Cut Proposal Development Costs
Reduce manual effort, duplicate entry, and rework across the proposal process, reducing development costs and freeing up capacity for the next pursuit.
Submit with Greater Confidence
Requirements and evaluation criteria map to their outline sections, with traceability back to the solicitation so your team can submit with greater confidence.
Core Costpoint Proposals Capabilities
Setting the Foundation for Successful Project Execution
Automatic Proposal Outlining
AI parses the solicitation in minutes and builds an outline matched to the government's required volume and section structure, including mandatory attachments, so teams can start assigning and drafting sections in parallel instead of building the structure by hand.
Guided Section Assignment and Tracking
AI extracts instructions and evaluation criteria for each section. Your opportunity team comes in automatically, then you assign people to sections with live, section-level status tracking.
AI-Assisted Drafting in Word
Writers draft where they already work in Microsoft Word, with live Costpoint data and milestones in the document, section-level approvals, and Costpoint staying the system of record.
Requirements Annotations Auto-Mapped
AI identifies requirements and evaluation criteria and maps them to the right outline section, with a traceable link to the exact location in the solicitation, reducing manual cross-referencing between RFP and proposal.

Costpoint Proposals starts your project lifecycle earlier, in the same system that manages the contract after you win.
Yes. Costpoint Proposals brings Costpoint into Microsoft Word, so writers draft, edit, and format in the tool they already know.
