Everything an intelligence analyst does. Without the analyst.

Delvex is a complete intelligence desk for defense business development teams. It reads the federal record every day, tracks your competitors and your recompete calendar, reads budget movement, and delivers written analysis calibrated to what your company can win, what you're pursuing, and where you're trying to grow. The work of a full-time analyst, on subscription.

Built on public federal data: SAM.gov, USASpending, FPDS-NG, congressional budget documents.
No data licensing fees. No procurement hurdles. Configured to your company in one onboarding session.

Weekly Competitive Intelligence Briefing
Prepared for BD Leadership Analyst Delvex Lead Desk
Executive Summary

Your DIA recompete decision clock expires in 5 days. The $22M modernization contract is at active RFP. It sits inside your $5–25M sweet spot and matches past performance you already hold. Watching is no longer a position.

Competitor Activity

Leidos is defending an $8.5M Army C4ISR integration recompete, below their usual revenue threshold. That's base denial, not a revenue play. They are also your occasional prime. That dual relationship is the tension of your week.

Recommended Action

Resolve incumbency of record on the C4ISR vehicle within 24 hours. It determines whether you run a defense capture or a challenge, and it changes your entire quarter.

Threat level Elevated

Illustrative sample. Format and analytical voice are real; the company and figures are composite.

The problem

Mid-size contractors lose on information, not capability.

The federal contracting record is entirely public. Everything you need to see a recompete coming, read a competitor's strategy, or catch a budget line moving is already published. The problem has never been access. It's that reading it properly is a full-time analytical job, and most BD teams below $500M don't have anyone doing it.

Failure mode 01

The recompete you saw too late

Capture windows on mid-size vehicles open 12–18 months before award. By the time a solicitation posts publicly, the incumbent has been shaping requirements for a year. A recompete caught at RFP is a recompete you're already losing.

Failure mode 02

The pattern nobody connected

One competitor award is noise. Four awards in the same agency across two quarters is a strategy, and it tells you where they're going next. Seeing that requires someone tracking the pattern over time, not scanning a feed each morning.

Failure mode 03

The budget signal that arrived as an RFP

Program funding moves in NDAA markups and budget justifications months before solicitations appear. Firms reading those documents start teaming conversations while everyone else waits for the RFP to drop.

A full-time competitive intelligence analyst costs $140,000–$190,000 fully loaded, and takes six months to become useful. Most firms in the $50M–$500M band decide they can't justify one, and then absorb the cost of not having one, invisibly, one missed pursuit at a time.

What you receive

Five intelligence products. All written, all specific to your company.

Delvex doesn't hand you a dashboard and wish you luck. It produces finished analytical work on a schedule: the same deliverables you'd expect from a competent analyst who understands your business.

Weekly Briefing

Monday, 7:00 AM

The full read on your week: competitor activity and what it reveals about their strategy, every expiring contract ranked by urgency and dollar value, budget movement translated into pursuit implications, and three recommended actions specific enough to execute that morning. Ends with a threat level and the reasoning behind it.

On request

Intelligence Pulse

On demand, under two minutes

A sharp mid-week check when something changes or a decision is in front of you. Top priority right now, the two or three developments that matter, any contract entering a critical window, and the single move to make today. Generated fresh from current data, not a cached report.

Automatic

Alert Flash

Within minutes of the record updating

When a tracked competitor takes a significant award, a recompete crosses a threshold, or a relevant solicitation posts, a short alert explains what happened, why it matters to your position specifically, and the one action it calls for. Under 120 words. No digest, no noise. Alerts fire when the event reaches the federal record, which for solicitations is same day and for DoD award data can trail the award itself by up to 90 days. We tell you which you are looking at.

Monthly Landscape Report

First business day of the month

The executive document. Where the competitive field is consolidating, where funding is heading over the next six to eighteen months, the forward recompete calendar, an honest read on where your firm is strong and where it's exposed, and three to five directional moves for the quarter. Written to be forwarded to your CEO.

Conversational

Ask your analyst

Any time

Ask a direct question, such as whether to bid something, who to team with, or what SAIC is doing in the intelligence community this quarter, and get a grounded answer that cites the specific contracts, figures and dates behind it. It commits to a recommendation rather than listing options, and tells you plainly when the data doesn't support an answer.

What makes it different

The same market event should not produce the same advice.

Every intelligence platform shows every subscriber the same data. Delvex starts from your company: capabilities, past performance, contract size range, active pursuits, growth targets, hard constraints. It reasons from there. Below is one market event, read for three different firms. Same fact. Three different correct answers. The three profiles are composites, built to show the mechanism.

How it works

One onboarding session. Then it runs without you.

The only thing Delvex needs from your team is a clear picture of your company. Everything after that is automatic.

Step one

Your profile

A structured intake captures what you do, what you've won, the contract range you can deliver, who you compete against, what you're pursuing now, where you want to grow, and what rules opportunities out. Twenty-seven questions, about ten minutes.

Step two

Standing monitoring

Delvex pulls solicitation, award and budget data from federal sources on a standing daily schedule, filtered to your competitors, your NAICS codes and your agencies. Your first briefing includes nine months of backfilled award history, deliberately wider than the 90-day reporting lag on DoD awards, so day one isn't an empty screen.

Step three

Analysis

Each briefing is written against your profile, not against the market in general. A competitor award is weighed by whether it threatens your capabilities. An opportunity is weighed by whether you could actually win and deliver it.

Step four

Delivery

Briefings arrive by email and stay archived in your dashboard, so your team can read back through every briefing Delvex has produced for you. Access for your whole team is included in the single price.

You're not paying for the data.

Every source above is public and free. Any of your competitors could read all of it. Almost none of them do, because reading eleven federal data streams every day and turning them into a judgment about your specific position is a job, not a subscription.

What Delvex sells is that job: the filtering, the pattern recognition across time, and the written analysis that ends in a recommendation someone can act on Monday morning.

Because the underlying data is public, there is no licensing cost passed to you, no vendor data agreement to negotiate, and nothing in the pipeline that requires clearance to operate.

Pricing

One price. The whole desk.

No tiers, no feature gates, no per-module upsells. Every client gets the complete intelligence operation, configured to their company.

The comparison that matters

A full-time competitive intelligence analyst costs $140,000–$190,000 fully loaded, takes months to hire, and six more to become useful. Delvex is $30,000 a year, configured in one session, and delivering from the first week.

Priced another way: a single mid-size recompete you fail to see coming is worth more than a decade of the subscription.

Built on public federal data. No licensing costs passed through, nothing in the pipeline that requires clearance to operate.

Questions worth asking

The objections we'd raise ourselves.

Largely, yes, and that's the point. The major platforms are search and data products: they surface opportunities and leave the interpretation to your team. Delvex is an analysis product. It starts from your company's profile and delivers a written judgment about what a development means for you specifically, ending in a recommendation. If what you need is a searchable database, buy the database. If what you need is someone to read it and tell you what to do, that's this.

A general model has no standing picture of your company and no live connection to federal contracting data. Delvex holds a structured profile of your capabilities, past performance, contract range, active pursuits, growth targets and constraints, and applies it to data pulled fresh every day. The analysis is grounded in specific contract numbers, figures and dates that are actually in the record, and when the data doesn't support a conclusion, the briefing says so rather than inventing one.

You update your profile and the next briefing reflects it. If you decide to stop pursuing an agency, enter a new domain, or change the contract size you'll take on, that changes what Delvex flags and how it ranks priorities immediately. The profile is meant to be revised. It's the steering wheel, not a form you fill in once.

No. Delvex operates exclusively on public, unclassified federal data. Nothing in the pipeline touches classified material, and your company profile contains only the business information you choose to provide, the same kind of information in your capability statement. That's deliberate: it keeps the product deployable without any security review on your side.

Yes. The analysis is only as good as the public record it reads, and federal data has gaps, lags and inconsistent contractor naming. Delvex is built to flag those gaps explicitly rather than paper over them. A briefing will tell you when award data is thin and what would close the hole. It's an analyst, and it should be read the way you'd read any analyst: as informed judgment to pressure-test, not as an oracle.

Your first briefing is generated after onboarding and includes nine months of backfilled award history, so it opens with a full competitive picture rather than an empty feed. That window is set wide on purpose: DoD award data reaches the public record up to 90 days after the award, so a shorter backfill would look emptier than the market actually is. The analysis gets sharper as your profile gets more specific. The firms that get the most out of it are the ones that answer the intake honestly, including about what they can't win.

Get started

See your own competitive landscape before you decide.

Send us your competitors, your NAICS codes and your target agencies, and we'll generate a real briefing on your actual position, not a canned demo. If it isn't sharper than what your team produces today, there's nothing to discuss.
