2.1 · PROJECT SETUP

Start with the solicitation

Upload the primary RFP and related documents, then review them in the built-in PDF viewer without leaving the wizard. Project details are filled in from what TUF-PQS reads in the source documents.

  • Separate drop zones for the primary document and related documents
  • Demo project: GSA OASIS+ MAC Program, Unrestricted, RFP No. 47QRCA23R0006 (215 pages)
  • Wizard summary shows what comes next at every step

2.2 · KEY PERSONNEL

Put the right resumes against the right roles

TUF-PQS lists the key personnel positions the solicitation calls for. Auto-Match suggests a resume for each one, and you confirm with Assign Selected Resume.

  • Roles pulled from the RFP, such as OASIS+ Program Manager and Ordering Contracting Officer
  • Assigned and unassigned counts so nothing is missed
  • Win themes attached the same way as reference documents
Resumes matched to key personnel
2.3 · ANALYSIS REPORTS

Reports generated for you

Choose which reports run automatically at each phase. Requirement Difference runs on its own whenever the requirement documents change, such as after an amendment.

2.4 · OUTLINE TEMPLATES

Outlines built from your own templates

The Proposal Outline Template Editor defines the structure of a proposal as a tree. Fields map to values from the solicitation, sections can repeat over evaluation factors, and the preview renders with sample data before you use it.

  • Node types include headers, field lists, conditionals, repeaters and notes
  • Validate and Refresh Preview while you edit
  • Start from the default template or build a lighter one, such as a capability statement
Lite Capability Statement template
2.5 · OUTLINE BUILDER

Every requirement next to the section that answers it

The Proposal Outline Builder puts three panes side by side: RFP requirements with "shall" and "will" highlighted, the proposal outline, and your reference library. Assign each section to a writer with a due date, then generate the draft.

  • AI prompt engine with prompt libraries; review the result before inserting it
  • Insert boilerplate and win themes such as Mission Success and Cost Efficiency
  • Make Outline row assignments with due dates - Automated emails to assinged personnel

2.6 · PROPOSAL EDITOR

Write, check and version the draft

The generated draft opens in the Proposal Editor with requirements on the left and reference content on the right. Run a quality check, compare versions, and save to a Microsoft Word document when it's ready.

  • Quality Check, Reports and Versions built into the editor
  • Automated Real Time Requirements Compliance Checks
  • Compare Versions to see what changed between drafts
  • Save to MS Word Document for final formatting

2.7 · LOCAL AI MODELS

AI that runs on your machine

Proposal content stays on your own computer. TUF-PQS works with Small Language Models (SLMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) run locally, and you can pick a model per task.

  • * Phi-3.5 mini-instruct (Microsoft, 3.8B): ONNX weights from Hugging Face, loaded from a local folder
  • Phi-4 (Microsoft, 14B): served through a local REST endpoint such as Ollama or LM Studio, default http://localhost:11434
  • Other Supported Models (LLMs): Owen 3, Meta Llama 3.18B, and Mistral Nemo (12B)
  • Test each connection from settings; settings are saved per model
  • *See the How2DownloadInstallPhi-35Model.pdf

One workbook per reviewer

Each workbook lists the proposal text by section, with a severity rating and a comment column for every row.
