GovSignals provides an artificial intelligence platform that helps businesses find and bid on government contracts. The system scans over 1,000 data sources, such as budget reports and congressional documents, to identify potential projects months before they are officially announced and then automates the creation of compliant proposals. Unlike competitors, the platform uses deep industry expertise to serve both private contractors and government agencies, allowing smaller firms to compete more effectively with large corporations. The company's goal is to modernize the public sector procurement process by reducing the time it takes to complete complex acquisition workflows from months to hours.

USSOCOM In Partnership with GovSignals Launches SOF RACER Consortium.

USSOCOM In Partnership with GovSignals Launches SOF RACER Consortium. * 4 hrs ago U.S. Special Operations Command's Special Operations Forces Acquisition, Technology and Logistics directorate has launched the Special Operations Forces Rapid Acquisition Consortium for Emerging Requirements (SOF RACER), in partnership with GovSignals. Announcing the launch, SOF AT&L described the consortium as giving non-traditional commercial companies and defense contractors a fast track to deliver technology directly to USSOCOM, with a mission to rapidly field SOF-peculiar capabilities across every domain, from seabed to space. England fans in Miami ahead of England's World Cup quarter-final against Norway Capabilities span twelve key areas of interest including C4ISR, Cyber, Robotics, Drones / UAS, Logistics / Sustainment, Human Performance, Health, Energy, Maritime, Expeditionary Ops, Advanced Materials, and Data / AI. Consortium structures let a government sponsor issue a requirement once to a standing membership base and evaluate short solutions briefs rather than full proposals, compressing the time from requirement to award. "SOCOM sets the requirements and selects the winners. We built and operate the infrastructure that gets qualified companies in front of them," said Derek Hoyt, Chief Executive Officer of GovSignals. "Our platform supports SOCOM to accelerate vendors from application to production." SOF RACER is a modern consortium - completely free for vendors - backed by a platform that helps SOCOM get your technology through the valley of death. GovSignals operates within a FedRAMP High and IL5 authorization boundary. GovSignals, in partnership with BMNT, will host education sessions for prospective members and government stakeholders at SOFWERX on 20 August 2026, with in-person and virtual attendance. About GovSignals GovSignals is the AI system of work for government acquisition. Operating inside a FedRAMP High + IL5 authorization boundary, the platform covers the full lifecycle - pre-award intelligence and capture, proposal and cost-volume development, and post-award oversight - across federal, defense, and SLED markets. GovSignals maintains the market's most complete coverage of other-transaction vehicles and consortium activity. GovSignals is the partner behind SOF RACER, launched by USSOCOM's SOF AT&L directorate. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in New York. Media gallery

GovSignals partners with USSOCOM to launch the official SOF RACER industry portal.

GovSignals partners with USSOCOM to launch the official SOF RACER industry portal. GovSignals July 26, 2026 · SOF RACER announcement GovSignals is partnering with U.S. Special Operations Command on SOF RACER, USSOCOM's new rapid acquisition consortium. GovSignals operates the official SOF RACER industry portal and will host a virtual Industry Day with BMNT. SOF RACER is designed to move relevant commercial technology toward special operations requirements in weeks, not fiscal years. It creates one front door for companies that can solve a SOCOM problem, whether they are established defense contractors or have never held a federal contract. A shorter path from requirement to solution. Traditional acquisition pathways can make it difficult for government teams to reach emerging technology and for commercial companies to understand where they fit. SOF RACER changes the starting point: * No fee to join or participate. * Requirements issued directly to members across every capability domain. * Short solution briefs instead of 200-page proposals. The objective is straightforward: make it easier for USSOCOM to see credible solutions and easier for industry to understand what the mission needs, how to respond, and what happens after a downselect. Virtual Industry Day. GovSignals and BMNT will host SOF RACER Industry Day virtually on Thursday, August 20, 2026, from 0900-1000. The session will cover what SOF RACER is, who is eligible, how to write a brief that survives downselect, and what happens next. The event is for companies with a capability relevant to special operations, including teams that have not previously sold to the federal government. A CAGE code or UEI is helpful, but it is not required to register interest. The GovSignals Consortium Network. SOF RACER is part of the GovSignals Consortium Network. GovSignals operates its official portal for membership and program communications in partnership with USSOCOM. The portal is the source for eligibility information, calls for solutions, deadlines, and the next steps available to members. There is no fee to join. Registration adds your organization to the official SOF RACER member list, and submitted information is used only for program communications. If you are building something SOCOM needs, start here. Join the member list and register for the August 20 Industry Day through the official SOF RACER page.

GovSignals acquires Turingon, adding proven capture team to only AI platform cleared at FedRAMP High and DoD IL5

GovSignals, an AI platform for government contracting cleared at FedRAMP High and DoW IL5, has acquired Turingon. The acquisition brings Turingon's founding leadership team, including co-founders Arthur and Ellen Runno, who possess over 60 years of combined capture and proposal experience. GovSignals differentiates itself by operating across the entire government contracting workflow rather than focusing solely on proposal writing. The platform processes government data from sources including news, congressional transcripts, and budgets through to compliance and post-award stages. Turingon earned recognition after achieving a draw against a competitor that had raised over $40 million in the industry's only public head-to-head test of proposal AI. Arthur Runno joins as Head of Sales, whilst Ellen Runno becomes Deployment Strategist. GovSignals reported 8X revenue growth last year and serves contractors across defence, federal civilian, and state and local markets.

July 14, 2026 08:00 ET | Source: GovSignals WASHINGTON, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - GovSignals, the only AI platform for government contracting cleared at both FedRAMP High and DoW IL5, today announced it has acquired Turingon and added its founding leadership to the team.

We sold Turingon to join it, and it is the best decision we could have made for our team and for everyone we serve. I could not be more..." The government contracting market is full of tools that automate one slice of the work, almost always the proposal. GovSignals was built on a different premise: the win is decided long before anyone opens a template, in the intelligence a team sees, the pursuits it chooses, and the moves it makes months before an RFP drops. GovSignals runs that entire arc as one compounding system, drawing on the earliest signals in news, congressional transcripts, GAO decisions, and budgets, through IDIQs, RFIs, and RFPs, to compliance shreds, proposals, and post-award, on more government data than anyone else in the space and cleared to operate where the most sensitive work happens. Every step compounds into insight built specifically for each company. Turingon earned its reputation the hard way. In the only public head-to-head test of proposal AI this industry has run, its team fought a competitor that had raised more than $40 million to a two-to-two draw, judged live by an independent panel that included a former federal contracting officer. GovSignals is acquiring that team, the leadership behind it, and the relationships they built across the federal civilian, defense, and aerospace markets. "Acquiring Turingon was a no-brainer. Their leadership team is among the most respected in the industry, and they spent years building the relationships and channels that come with it. With our capability and our security posture, there is no limit to how far this goes," said Jeremy Doochin, co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer of GovSignals. GovSignals grew revenue 8X last year. It serves the fastest-growing small and medium-sized companies and the largest government contractors across defense, federal civilian, architecture, engineering and construction, and state and local, and has won multimillion-dollar contracts with federal agencies. "This market is littered with point solutions, and most companies end up needing several: a limited capture tool, a compliance shred generator, a one-off proposal wrapper. The innovation gap between them is simply too wide. GovSignals goes end-to-end, runs the work in the exact steps each client needs, and delivers it in their final Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF format. Every insight compounds daily into a knowledge graph for each company, one that reaches true escape velocity and helps them to build relationships they couldn't and ultimately win," said Jeremy Doochin. Arthur and Ellen Runno join a GovSignals leadership team focused on a mission larger than any single product: helping American contractors win more, helping the government buy better, and strengthening the industrial base the country depends on. "I spent two decades in the proposal world, and I know it as well as anyone. The proposal was never the real problem. The win is decided upstream, and almost no one is built for that," said Arthur Runno, CEO & co-founder of Turingon and now Head of Sales at GovSignals. "GovSignals did. We sold Turingon to join it, and it is the best decision we could have made for our team and for everyone we serve. I could not be more excited to now build something 100X bigger than our Turingon team ever could have alone." Demand for platforms that can prove results and clear the highest federal security bars is accelerating. GovSignals is staying ahead of it, serving contractors of all sizes, from the smallest startups to the largest primes. About GovSignals GovSignals is the system of work for government contracting and the only AI proposal platform authorized in both FedRAMP High and DoW IL5 environments. Founded by AI engineers and procurement experts from Stanford, Palantir, Amazon, the DOE, and the national security community, GovSignals deploys a roster of cleared AI agents that run a contractor pipeline the way a team would: reading thousands of pre-award sources to surface pursuits early, then producing finished deliverables from go/no-go decisions and bases of estimate to SF330s, completed forms, and full proposal volumes. Trusted by the fastest-growing startups to the top government contractors across federal and state & local markets, GovSignals serves both contractors and the government agencies that buy from them.

In the only public head-to-head test of proposal AI this industry has run, Turingon fought a well-funded competitor to a draw before an independent panel, and the team built deep relationships across the federal civilian, defense, and aerospace markets.
