Getting Started with Procura
Learn how to set up your team profile and start finding government contract opportunities that align with your capabilities
Welcome to Procura
Procura is an intelligent platform that helps government contractors discover and win opportunities that align with their capabilities. Our AI-powered analysis engine goes beyond simple keyword searching to understand the true alignment between your business and government requirements.
Built by a government contractor whose team was wasting tens of hours per week on business development, Procura is designed to solve the real problems contractors face every day.
Quick Start Guide
1. Set Up Your Team Profile
Before you can start receiving opportunity analyses, you need to:
- Create a team – Teams are how you organize your business presence on Procura
2. Create Your Capabilities Statement
Your capabilities statement is the foundation of our analysis engine. It tells us:
- What services and products you offer
- Your past performance and experience
- Your certifications and clearances
- Your unique differentiators

3. Understanding Opportunity Analysis
Once your capabilities statement is set up, Procura automatically analyzes new opportunities as they’re discovered. Your very first upload triggers a full historical analysis that can take several hours. You’ll see fit-scored opportunities appear progressively.
Need a stronger statement? Use the AI-powered Capabilities Statement Generator (Capabilities → Generate) and paste your current statement as a starting point. The assistant will ask follow-up questions so we capture everything needed for accurate analysis.
