Where Anderson Engineering Stands


Informal Pipeline. Reactive BD. Too Much Left to Word of Mouth.

  • Opportunities discovered only after solicitations go live — shaping window already closed
  • ~85% of revenue from VA — high concentration, low forward visibility
  • No centralized intelligence across VA, GSA, IDIQ, and prime sub opportunities

Filtering Could Be Better — Especially for GSA, Minnesota & SDVOSB

  • Weak filtering for GSA Schedule, Minnesota work, and SDVOSB set-asides
  • Missing recompete signals, incumbent context, and contract end dates
  • No way to track primes seeking SDVOSB subcontractors

Friday Meetings Rely on Judgment — Not Metrics

  • Go/no-go runs on instinct, not structured fit data
  • No visibility into past performance, competitor context, or compliance before meetings
  • Project history scattered across accounting software, Jira, and Teams

Anderson Engineering's Business Development Gaps

These critical gaps hinder proactive capture and risk revenue concentration.

Questions from Adam & Andrea — Answered

Our FedMine filtering could be better — especially for GSA, Minnesota work, and SDVOSB set-asides. Does SamSearch actually solve that?

Yes — Minnesota and SDVOSB filtering are built into the core engine, with plain-English fit rationale for every match.

We generally learn about opportunities once solicitations are live. Can SamSearch give us earlier pipeline visibility?

Yes — pre-solicitation intelligence surfaces VA requirements weeks or months before formal notices post.

We asked about historical project data, subcontractor information, and how the platform learns about our prior work. How does that work?

Upload past proposals, past-performance records, and capability statements directly — Sammy uses them to improve fit scoring and analysis.

Our Friday go/no-go meetings rely heavily on human judgment. Can SamSearch help structure that process?

SamSearch generates a structured go/no-go report — fit score, risk flags, and competitor intel — ready before the meeting starts.

Built for Anderson Engineering.

What This Replaces

FedMine Filtering Gaps

Judgment-Based Go/No-Go

Good instincts — but no data layer to back them up.

Daily recommendations filtered by SDVOSB, GSA SINs, NAICS, and geography.

Pre-Solicitation Pipeline Visibility

Recompete signals and CO contacts weeks before SAM.gov notices drop.

Historical Context & Document Uploads

Upload past proposals and performance records to enrich AI matching.
