Government Contract
Intelligence Since 2005

Built by industry veterans who understood federal procurement long before it was searchable online.

Long before most systems focused on scraping posted solicitations, Proxity was built to connect award history, pricing, incumbents, recompetes, and agency buying behavior in one system.
Today, Proxity supports thousands of government contractors nationwide, including APEX Accelerators and small businesses competing across federal, state, and local markets.

We are an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business operating on a straightforward month-to-month subscription model.

Why Proxity Was Built

A current solicitation tells you what the government is buying now. Contract history tells you what happened before: who bought it, who won, what they paid and when that work may return.

Government purchasing often follows repeat patterns. Proxity organizes that history so you can research the market behind the opportunity, not just the bid in front of you.

  • Which agencies repeatedly buy specific products and services
  • What they paid across prior contracts
  • When contracts are expected to return to market
  • Prime contractors already doing the work and potential subcontracting paths
  • How buying patterns shift across fiscal years

What the Platform Connects

Proxity connects contracting data across:

• Federal agencies
• State and local governments
• Award and pricing history
• Prime and subcontractor relationships
• Expiring contracts and recompete timelines
• Small business and set-aside activity

All data is structured to support capture planning, market positioning, and teaming strategy.

Trusted by APEX Accelerators and thousands of government contractors nationwide.

Experience Behind the Data

Their backgrounds shaped Proxity’s focus on connected data, historical context, and structured intelligence — not just listings.

Barry C. Nelsen - Founder 

Barry Nelsen has worked in government information systems since 1970. He played a central role in developing and commercializing major information platforms used by the U.S. Department of Defense, including systems that transitioned paper-based technical data into digital environments.

His experience spans DoD procurement systems, logistics databases, and enterprise information distribution. Proxity was founded to apply that institutional knowledge to modern government contracting intelligence.

John B. Ford - Chief Information Officer - Founder 

John Ford brings more than 25 years of leadership in information technology and management, with a focus on Department of Defense and aerospace systems.

He has led initiatives involving government communications, enterprise data platforms, and early electronic commerce systems supporting federal procurement environments. 

Government Contracting Intelligence Built Around the Data

Proxity is a privately held company that has operated continuously since 2005.

Our objective remains consistent: provide contractors with connected historical context so they can compete earlier and plan smarter.

We are subscription-based, independently operated, and focused exclusively on government contracting intelligence.
