AlphaSix Quantify is an AI‑powered acquisition intelligence platform that streamlines the entire procurement lifecycle. It helps agencies identify mission needs, generate compliant solicitations, and evaluate proposal responses with speed, consistency, and defensibility. Beyond pre‑award, Quantify also supports post‑award contract administration—tracking funds, monitoring performance, reconciling invoices, and maintaining full‑lifecycle auditability. The result is a unified, human‑driven, AI‑accelerated platform that reduces workload, accelerates timelines, and strengthens decision quality from requirements through contract closeout.
-
Quantify is built for federal, state, and local government organizations—and for the contractors who support them. It serves acquisition, contracting, program, and technical evaluation teams across the full procurement lifecycle, from requirements development through post‑award contract administration. Whether you’re a CO, COR, evaluator, program manager, or procurement executive, Quantify provides the structure, transparency, and decision support needed to manage complex procurements with speed and confidence.
-
In Quantify, and all AlphaSix AI products, people remain the source of judgment, authority, and decision‑making, while AI handles the heavy lift of analysis, extraction, and workflow acceleration. Quantify is designed so that contracting officers, specialists, evaluators, and CORs stay firmly in control—every insight is editable, every recommendation is transparent, and every decision is traceable to a human. The AI accelerates the work, not the responsibility: it reduces manual burden, standardizes outputs, and surfaces defensible evidence so acquisition professionals can focus on higher‑value analysis, oversight, and mission outcomes.
-
Within Quantify's Initiate module, Quantify can be used to create acquisition plans, perform market research, generate notices, and prepare technical and pricing requirements then generate independent cost estimates and the actual solicitation - all while validating FAR/DFARS compliance, recommending evaluation criteria, and flagging protest‑prone language. It streamlines requirement development and pre‑release work products, reducing the time and effort needed to produce high‑quality acquisition packages.
-
Quantify automates time-consuming manual tasks such as document review, criteria alignment, and scoring support. The platform helps evaluators focus on judgment and decision-making rather than administrative work, significantly reducing evaluation timelines.
-
No. Quantify is designed to support evaluators, not replace them. Human oversight, judgment, and final decision-making remain central to the process. Quantify enhances consistency, speed, and confidence while keeping evaluators in control.
-
Quantify’s AI is prevented from hallucinating by strict prompting, reference verification, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and a Knowledge Graph which provide citable, reference data for the AI to generate from.
-
Yes. Quantify is designed to support federal procurement requirements by embedding transparency, auditability, and documentation throughout the acquisition lifecycle. The platform produces clear, defensible evaluation records that align with FAR principles and support internal reviews, audits, and protest responses. Quantify’s workflows reinforce consistent, criteria‑based decision‑making while maintaining human oversight at all key judgment points, ensuring agencies remain fully compliant with applicable federal acquisition standards.
Quantify also supports agencies implementing the GSA Federal EOA Playbook by providing the structure, documentation quality, and measurable process transparency needed to demonstrate modernization progress—while leaving all policy interpretation and compliance decisions with the agency.
-
Quantify is designed to align with the federal government's responsible-AI acquisition framework — including OMB Memoranda M-25-21 and M-25-22, M-26-04 (Unbiased AI Principles), and the draft GSAR clause 552.239-7001 for AI systems. In practice:
Explainable. Every score, summary, and risk flag traces back to the specific proposal text and evaluation criterion behind it. Evaluators see the reasoning, not a black-box output — and can review, adjust, or reject any AI-generated result.
Unbiased and neutral. Quantify standardizes inputs and applies consistent, criteria-based scoring through a defined bias-reduction layer, producing objective, ideologically neutral outputs consistent with the Unbiased AI Principles of M-26-04.
Human-in-the-loop. No award decision is automated. Qualified personnel review and approve all scoring and analysis at every key decision point, preserving accountability and FAR-aligned judgment.
Secure and data-protective. Quantify deploys within your secure environment with role-based access and segregation of sensitive proposal data — and does not use your agency's data to train public or commercial AI models, consistent with the data-rights requirements of M-25-22.
Transparent and documented. Quantify supports the model-transparency and disclosure expectations of M-26-04 and the draft GSAR clause, and produces immutable, audit-ready records of every action for oversight and protest defense.
Quantify is a U.S.-developed solution aligned with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and AlphaSix can provide the documentation agencies need to satisfy their own AI acquisition and oversight obligations.
-
Quantify allows you to plug and play with foundational and local LLMs in order to choose the latest and greatest AI. In addition to choosing the best model for your agency, Quantify augments its prompts with knowledge about your agency and users gained from previous interactions, public and enterprise data sources, knowledge bases, and individually uploaded documents. The AI cites its exact sources to prevent hallucinations and provides its reasoning with every response.
-
Quantify applies evaluation criteria uniformly across all submissions, reducing variability and unintentional bias. By standardizing how criteria are applied and documented, the platform supports fair, repeatable, and defensible evaluations.
-
Security is a core design priority. Offeror evaluations involve highly sensitive data—pricing, technical details, and compliance records—and Quantify’s layered security ensures confidentiality, integrity, availability, and compliance. Quantify is an on‑premise, cloud‑native solution built with robust cybersecurity controls, role‑based access, and AlphaSix’s deep expertise securing sensitive government environments. It is designed to integrate directly into your secure operational domain and align with all appropriate Federal standards.
Quantify also aligns to FedRAMP Moderate baselines and can be deployed within an agency’s existing FedRAMP‑authorized cloud environment (such as Azure Government or AWS GovCloud). Because Quantify is not a system of record, it does not require its own FedRAMP authorization—allowing agencies to maintain full control of their data while operating within a secure, compliant, government‑approved hosting environment.
-
Yes. Quantify is designed to integrate into existing workflows rather than force agencies to change how they operate. It complements current evaluation methods and can be adapted to agency-specific requirements.
-

es. Quantify is fully mobile‑ready and can be accessed on government‑approved mobile devices in environments where agency policy permits mobile use. The platform is built with a responsive, touch‑optimized interface that adapts seamlessly to tablets and smartphones, allowing evaluators, CORs, and contracting officials to review documents, submit comments, track actions, and monitor contract performance from the field or while on travel.
Mobile access is always governed by the agency’s security posture. Quantify supports deployment inside FedRAMP‑authorized cloud environments (such as Azure Government or AWS GovCloud) and integrates with agency identity and access controls, ensuring that mobile use complies with internal cybersecurity requirements. When enabled, mobile access provides teams with greater flexibility and continuity—allowing oversight, approvals, and collaboration to continue even when staff are away from their primary workstation.
