Overview

Loft Federal supports national security space missions with a team focused exclusively on DoD and IC opportunities. To scale efficiently, they needed greater visibility into federal capture signals without adding headcount. GovSignals helped them reduce manual tracking, find bids faster, and uncover opportunities they hadn’t seen before.

“We evaluated multiple platforms head-to-head. I had a list in mind—‘find this program, this contract, this company.’ GovSignals stood out immediately. It delivered accurate, usable results where other tools returned erroneous data.”

The Challenge

Loft Federal explored multiple platforms including GovWin IQ, GovTribe, and HigherGov—to improve their federal capture workflow. Most tools were rigid, expensive, and failed to deliver actionable results. “My sense from the others we looked at—it was much more out of the box,” said Mark Mueller, Director of Business Development at Loft Federal. “And if you want custom, then open your checkbook.” In contrast, GovSignals stood out for its responsiveness, deeper data coverage, and user-first experience. The breadth of sources and spectrum of data feeds proved stronger than any other tool they tested. Combined with hands-on support and a focus on flexibility, GovSignals emerged as the clear choice for a lean team operating in a complex and high-stakes environment.

The spectrum of data feeds GovSignals brings in was a clear differentiator. The co-founders’ backgrounds at DIA and DOE gave me confidence they really understand this space. And knowing the tool could grow with us—that was a big deal.

What’s Next

With CUI data in play, Loft Federal is planning for secure AI integration as part of their next phase. The team is eager for GovSignals’ upcoming FedRAMP High deployment, which will enable advanced capabilities like the Proposals module. As Mark noted, capturing every requirement is critical—and GovSignals’ compliance matrix andAI tools are well positioned to support that growth with confidence.
