GovSignals, the First and Only Proposal AI for Defense Contractors to achieve FedRAMP® High authorization

GovSignals, the Acquisition AI platform for defense contractors, today announced it is officially authorized at FedRAMP® High on the U.S. FedRAMP Marketplace. This milestone makes GovSignals the first and only AI proposal platform operating at the government’s highest cloud security baseline for unclassified systems.

Why this matters right now

Many defense proposal teams unknowingly upload sensitive material into AI platforms that are not FedRAMP High authorized. This is a critical mistake as it puts organizations out of compliance with DFARS, NIST SP 800-171, and CMMC, risking contract loss, penalties, and investigations. FedRAMP High is the federal standard that allows contractors to safely use modern cloud AI with sensitive but unclassified defense information.

From manual to mission-ready for DoD

For years, defense proposals have been built purely by hand: copy-paste in spreadsheets, redlines in shared drives, version chaos, and CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) parked in separate folders because AI tools could not legally host them. With GovSignals operating in a FedRAMP High-authorized environment, teams can bring that work into AI, generate and refine compliant content, collaborate with their team, and handle sensitive data legally in the cloud in real time, thereby tripling their wins. Programs such as SeaPort and other Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps pursuits can now be supported end-to-end with compliant proposal AI.

‍

“We built GovSignals to enable DoD companies to discover opportunities and build winning proposals within a secure, FedRAMP High environment,” says Derek Hoyt, Co-founder and CEO of GovSignals. “By bringing SeaPort data into our compliant, mission-ready AI workspace, our clients can analyze contract fit, generate and refine proposal content, and manage CUI while meeting government security requirements. This is how we help defense contractors move faster, stay compliant, and make smarter bid decisions.”

The customer reality

‍

“Security is paramount. FedRAMP High opens the door to increased capacity and streamlined processes. The ability to work with CUI data is key, and GovSignals is the first platform to unlock AI for defense proposals we previously had to pass on, transforming how we do business and what we can bid on,” says Dan B., Senior Account Executive, Loft Federal.

What’s at stake

• If it is not FedRAMP High for CUI, do not upload it. Putting CUI into a non-authorized cloud can create DFARS/NIST/CMMC exposure and jeopardize awards.
• Marketplace listing is the tell. If a vendor is not listed at the proper impact level High on the FedRAMP Marketplace, it is not authorized to handle this data.
• Compliance is not optional. FedRAMP High is how proposal teams use AI with sensitive material without risking contracts or audits. GovSignals is the first and only AI platform FedRAMP High-authorized.

The first AI-Proposal platform to reach FedRAMP High

Achieving FedRAMP High Authorization often takes years and millions of dollars. GovSignals pursued High early to give proposal teams a path to use AI with sensitive content legally and confidently. The outcome is modern AI capability and enterprise-grade security in one platform, built for the realities of defense acquisition.
