SALIAN DEFENSE VENTURE · STATUS: LIVE

RFI Hawk.
Federal RFIs, decoded.

The hunt before the bid

The federal acquisition window opens in public. Most of it closes before anyone responds. RFI Hawk sweeps SAM.gov, GSA, and agency portals daily, surfaces the live opportunities that match your CAGE and NAICS, and helps you draft sharper responses with structured analytics. Free tier available. Built by Salian Defense; lives at rfihawk.io.

I.CAPABILITY

From discovery to draft, on one screen.

Four capability stacks. Each one closes a step in the proposal workflow that small and mid-tier cleared shops normally lose hours to every week.

A · DISCOVERY
Federal RFI sweep

Daily sweep across SAM.gov, GSA eBuy, agency portals, and known SBIR / Tradewinds feeds. Filtered to your CAGE, NAICS codes, set-aside eligibility, and active GSA Schedule SINs.

  • SAM.gov opportunity stream
  • SBIR / AFWERX / SOFWERX / NavalX
  • Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace
  • Set-aside filtering (SDVOSB, 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone)
B · INTEL
Structured analytics

Every opportunity comes with structured fields: agency, vehicle, ceiling, period of performance, classification posture, recompete vs new, incumbent if known. Filter and rank by win probability and strategic fit.

  • Win-probability scoring
  • Recompete vs new-money flags
  • Vehicle-aware sorting (IDIQ, BPA, OT, GSA MAS)
  • Pipeline export (CSV, API)
C · DRAFT
AI-assisted response

Drafting assistance grounded in your past performance, capability statement, and the specific solicitation text. The AI does not invent past performance; it organizes what you give it.

  • Capability-statement alignment
  • Past-performance retrieval
  • Section-by-section response scaffolding
  • Compliance-matrix generation
D · CROSS-PLATFORM
Wired to the rest of Salian

When a contract awards, Project Hawk automatically creates the compliance milestones the new contract triggers (DD-254, classification, FCL upgrade, CMMC verification). One contract number, one platform.

  • Project Hawk milestone auto-creation on award
  • Vates Cognition ROM scoping on facility-bearing wins
  • Shared cross-venture audit chain
  • Single identity, single billing
II.WHO IT IS FOR
/ FIT

Small and mid-tier cleared shops that cannot afford a five-person capture team.

RFI Hawk's bias is the SDVOSB, 8(a), WOSB, and HUBZone contractor who needs to compete on the same intel that primes get from $25K-a-seat pipeline tools. Free tier surfaces every public RFI; paid tier adds win-probability scoring, response drafting, and the cross-Hawk handoffs into Project Hawk.

›COMMON QUESTIONS

RFI Hawk, answered.

What is RFI Hawk?
RFI Hawk is a federal opportunity discovery and response tool that surfaces live Requests for Information across federal portals and helps teams draft sharper responses with structured analytics. It runs hosted at rfihawk.io with a free tier. RFI Hawk is an affiliated venture of Salian Defense rather than a Praesidium Suite product.
What is a federal RFI, and why respond to one?
A Request for Information is a pre-solicitation notice in which an agency asks industry how it would approach a problem, before writing a solicitation. Responding matters because RFI responses shape the requirements that become the eventual RFP: the vendors who answer well often see their language survive into the solicitation. An RFI is not a bid and carries no obligation, which is precisely why it is the cheapest point of influence in the acquisition cycle.
How is RFI Hawk different from searching SAM.gov directly?
Portal search returns notices; RFI Hawk returns a filtered pipeline. It matches opportunities against your CAGE and NAICS codes, tracks what changed on a notice you are already watching, and carries structured analytics into a response draft rather than leaving you to start from a blank page. The difference is between a feed you have to read and a shortlist you can act on.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. The free tier surfaces public RFI opportunities with no credit card required; add your CAGE and NAICS codes and opportunities populate within minutes. Paid tiers add depth for teams whose pipeline outgrows it. Pricing and current tier limits are published at rfihawk.io.
How does RFI Hawk relate to the Praesidium Suite?
RFI Hawk is an affiliated venture, not a suite member, and the distinction is deliberate: it is a hosted commercial product with a paid tier, while the Praesidium Suite's air-gapped profile asserts no software-as-a-service in the runtime path. What the ventures share is architecture. RFI Hawk demonstrates the hosted profile, Project Hawk the CUI-safe on-customer-infrastructure profile, and Legatus the fully air-gapped profile.

No credit card. Add your CAGE and NAICS codes; opportunities populate within minutes. Upgrade when the pipeline outgrows the free tier.
