GovCon Specialization
Cleared-staffing power features for government contractors — clearance tracking, SAM.gov, contract vehicles, teaming.
Generic ATS tools miss what makes cleared staffing different. Hitt Hosting HR layers in the GovCon depth — clearance lifecycle, SAM.gov verification, contract vehicles, teaming agreements, and AI proposal drafting — without forcing it on teams that don't need it.
What you get
Built to solve the actual problems hiring teams hit every day.
Clearance lifecycle tracking
Public Trust through TS/SCI w/ Polygraph. Granted dates, expirations, last-in-access date, investigation type, polygraph type, status (active / interim / in-process / expired).
Clearance currency & reinvestigation tracking
The single most expensive loss on a cleared bench is a clearance going inactive — it lapses after ~24 months out of access, and periodic reinvestigation runs on a fixed per-level clock. Record the last date someone held access and the scan derives two dates it never used to see: an inactivity-lapse date (last access + 24 months) and a reinvestigation-due date (granted + the per-level interval, defaulted Confidential 15yr / Secret 10yr / TS & TS/SCI 5yr, admin-overridable). Both run the same 90/60/30/14/7/expired reminder ramp and compliance.expiring webhook as expiry dates — so your FSO is warned months before a benched engineer falls out of scope or overruns their reinvestigation window, not after.
SAM.gov verification
One-click CAGE / UEI lookup against the SAM.gov Entity API. Flags debarred entities before you team with them.
SAM.gov opportunity search
Search live federal solicitations by keyword, NAICS, and set-aside (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, Total Small Business) without leaving the app — and hand any opportunity off to a draft proposal in one click. If a proposal for that solicitation already exists, you're taken to it instead of creating a duplicate.
Contract vehicle expertise
IDIQ, T&M, FFP, CPFF, CPAF tags on candidate profiles and positions. AI matching weights vehicle experience.
Teaming agreements
Manage prime/sub relationships, link to specific proposals, track agreement lifecycle.
AI proposal drafting
Generate proposal sections (key personnel, technical approach, compliance notes) from your proposal record and solicitation number.
Proposal milestone schedule
Back-plan your Section L color-team timeline (Questions Due, Intent to Bid, Pink/Red/Gold Team, Submission) from the RFP due date in one click. Every checkpoint shows on the proposal and the planning calendar, and the daily scan alerts you before a review slips — not just at submission.
Compliance scan & alerts
Scheduled scan surfaces expiring clearances, certifications, and work-authorization documents — I-9 / EAD / visa reverification on the same alert engine, so an EAD expiring in 30 days generates the same staged reminders as a TS/SCI renewal. Once an item enters its 30-day window it also fires the compliance.expiring webhook to your Slack/Teams/Discord channel — so the holder gets the email and your FSO/compliance channel hears it too.
Cleared Bench Roster — CSV & PDF
Export a point-in-time CSV or PDF of every clearance your org holds (level, status, investigation, poly) — the full cleared bench, not just the rows expiring in the next 90 days. The artifact an FSO/security manager hands to a prime or COR, or attaches to a proposal as proof of cleared bench depth.
Past-Performance Library & Volume
Build an org-wide library of reference contracts — customer/agency, contract number, period of performance, value, prime/sub role, scope, customer POC, and relevance tags / NAICS. Cite the ones that fit each bid, add a per-bid relevance note, and export a one-click Past-Performance Volume PDF. Enter each reference once; reuse it across every proposal.
Reusable rate-card library
Define your standard labor-category (LCAT) bill rates once — with an optional rate basis, effective date, and escalation %. Every proposal's staffing plan pulls them in automatically, so "Senior Systems Engineer" bills the same defensible rate on every SBIR/contract bid instead of drifting per proposal. Pick an LCAT while pricing a seat and it pre-fills the bill rate / labor category / rate basis; override per seat any time. Rates are snapshotted at add time, so updating a card never rewrites already-saved seats. Planning / basis-of-estimate aid, not a certified or DCAA rate.
Authorized charge-code control
Employees charge only to valid, active, assigned contract/CLIN numbers — closing the DCAA mischarging gap. Build a per-org catalog of authorized charge codes (code, contract number, optional CLIN, description, period-of-performance window) and grant each employee the codes they may book. Turn enforcement on and the timesheet's free-text project/contract boxes become a dropdown of the employee's authorized, currently-active codes; the server rejects any code they aren't authorized for or that's outside its active window, and snapshots the contract/CLIN from the catalog for the audit trail. Deactivating a code never orphans historical entries. Opt-in per org, so non-GovCon teams keep the simple free-text timesheet.
How it works
Four steps from setup to value.
Toggle on cleared roles
When you mark a position as requiring a clearance, GovCon fields appear. Default is no-clearance — toggle is opt-in per role.
Verify partners
In the Network section, look up any organization on SAM.gov before signing a teaming agreement.
Match candidates
AI matching weights clearance level appropriately, falls back to "no clearance required" gracefully when not applicable.
Stay compliant
A scheduled compliance scan flags expiring clearances, certifications, and work-authorization documents (I-9 / EAD / visa reverification) and sends renewal reminders before they lapse.
FAQ
Quick answers to common questions.
Do I have to use GovCon features if I'm not in GovCon?
No. Clearance fields, SAM.gov, contract vehicles, and teaming are all opt-in. Most teams hide them entirely.
Is the SAM.gov integration free?
Yes — uses the public api.sam.gov endpoint with a free API key.
How does AI proposal drafting work?
Create a proposal with the agency and solicitation number, then have AI draft sections like key personnel, technical approach, and compliance notes. You edit and finalize each section before submitting.
