Built a vertical SaaS for government contractors that traces RFP requirements through delivery and audit
Sharing what I've been building in case it's useful to other vertical SaaS founders.
TraceOps is workflow intelligence for government contractors. The problem: GovCon teams pull requirements out of an RFP or contract into spreadsheets, and over time those requirements drift away from the original source language as work moves from bid to delivery to audit. When a customer review or audit hits, nobody can cleanly trace a deliverable back to the clause that required it.
What it does:
- Extracts requirements from RFPs, contracts, and CDRLs into one tracked list
- Assigns an owner and deadline to each one
- Keeps every requirement linked to its original FAR/DFARS, SOW, or CLIN language
- Exports clean handoff packages (JSON/CSV/PDF) backed by an append-only, hash-chained audit log
It covers the full lifecycle (capture, award, delivery, audit, release, maintenance) as separate modules rather than one generic tool.

Happy to talk through the build, the GovCon niche, or go-to-market in the comments.
