Kevin Plexico, senior vice president of Information Solutions at Deltek and a six-time Wash100 awardee, said artificial intelligence is helping government contractors streamline proposal development processes.
In a blog post published June 25 on Deltek’s website, Plexico wrote that AI has become a “brainstorming companion” by enabling proposal teams to respond to requests for information, draft capture plans, develop compliance matrices and break down complex requests for proposals into manageable components.
“And these aren’t just conveniences, they’re force multipliers that elevate the entire proposal process,” noted Plexico, a GovCon Expert.
“Proposal teams that embrace AI will have the edge through greater speed, sharper accuracy and deeper insight. And as more companies implement AI into their workflows, the gap widens between those that implement AI and those that don’t,” he added.
GovWin IQ’s Ask Dela Opportunity Chat
The Deltek executive noted that the company is transforming proposal development with AI-powered capabilities like Ask Dela Opportunity Chat in its GovWin IQ market intelligence platform.
In this post, Plexico said Ask Dela Opportunity Chat could support bid/no-bid decisions by allowing proposal teams to gain insights into top competitors, evaluation criteria, analyst-validated updates and other lead details.
“As you enter pursuit, we’ve introduced automated proposal outlines, transforming how government contractors align and anchor their RFP responses. These features are uniquely built by industry analysts and carefully prompted behind the scenes in partnership with leading consultants to provide accessible, actionable, and most importantly, accurate outlines,” the 2025 Wash100 awardee stated.
“By giving customers efficiency in their most time-intensive processes while allowing them to own their strategic narrative, you’re able to reduce rework and amplify your competitive edge,” he added.
