Learning Objectives
- Understand how Unanet adds purpose-built AI to its established GovCon ERP and CRM platform
- Evaluate ProposalAI's approach of drafting from a firm's own past proposals within a private cloud
- Distinguish vendor-stated speed claims and roadmap items from shipping capabilities
What Is Unanet ProposalAI?
Unanet is an established provider of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) software for government contractors (GovCon). It has added purpose-built AI to that platform: ProposalAI analyzes solicitations, maps requirements, builds compliant outlines, and drafts content by drawing on a firm's own past proposals.
Alongside it, Unanet's GrowthStudio adds AI-first capture and market intelligence plus pipeline management. GrowthStudio has reached general availability, and the company is expanding a FedRAMP Moderate cloud on its 2026 roadmap.
The company says ProposalAI helps teams draft roughly 70 percent faster. Notably for a sensitive market, Unanet runs each customer's ProposalAI in a compartmentalized private cloud and states that customer content is not used to train external models.
💡Key Concept
Drafting from your own past proposals: Rather than generating text from a generic model alone, ProposalAI draws on a firm's library of prior proposals. This grounds drafts in the contractor's real capabilities, voice, and past-performance language. Keeping that library in a compartmentalized private cloud — and not using it to train external models — is designed to protect the sensitive, competitive content that past proposals contain.
Key Capabilities
- Solicitation analysis — ProposalAI reads and interprets solicitations
- Requirement mapping — maps requirements to build a compliant proposal outline
- Content drafting — drafts from the firm's own past proposals for grounded, on-voice content
- GrowthStudio — AI-first capture, market intelligence, and pipeline (generally available)
- Compartmentalized private cloud — each customer's ProposalAI runs isolated; content not used to train external models
- Integrated ERP and CRM — AI sits on top of Unanet's established GovCon back office
⚠️Warning
Confirm the claims and the timeline. The "roughly 70 percent faster" figure is vendor-stated, not independently verified. FedRAMP Moderate authorization for the AI products was a 2026 roadmap item — verify its current status before assuming your data handling meets a specific federal bar. And as with every AI proposal tool, generated outlines and content require human compliance review before submission, since a non-compliant bid can be disqualified.

Key Takeaways
- Unanet extends its established GovCon ERP and CRM with purpose-built AI — ProposalAI for compliant drafting and GrowthStudio for capture and market intelligence
- ProposalAI drafts from a firm's own past proposals inside a compartmentalized private cloud, and states content is not used to train external models
- The 70-percent-faster figure is vendor-stated, FedRAMP Moderate for the AI products was a 2026 roadmap item, and drafts still need human compliance review
