There’s an old line in capture: if the RFP is the first time you’ve read about a program, you’ve already lost. The budget, the congressional marks and the buyer’s own plans are public long before that. HighGround puts them in front of your team.

Four ways capture and strategy teams use it

Used by business development, capture, strategy, corporate development, government affairs, finance and supply chain teams.

Numbers that hold up in a bid review

Built so the capture lead can check every figure and the executive team can act on it.

Every figure opens to its source

The committee report, the award or the budget book sits behind each number, with its date and scope.

Competitors show up as one company

Subsidiaries, old registrations and renamed divisions are resolved to the parent, so a competitor’s whole position is in one place.

Funded is never confused with ceiling

Requested, enacted, obligated and ceiling dollars stay separate, so a big headline never stands in for real money.

Updated as each source publishes

More than 5,000 sources and over 20 years of history, refreshed daily on each source’s own schedule.

A pursuit decision, worked from the record

THAAD interceptor production, before the June 2026 award. Four questions a supplier or teaming partner would ask, and when the record could answer each one.

Late 2025
Is the program funded to grow?
+$1.22B

Three FY26 marks above the request: $714.6M for more interceptors, $300M to speed up the multiyear, $208.3M for production capacity.

FY26 NDAA and appropriations reports
Jan 29, 2026
Who holds the position?
Sole prime

Lockheed Martin is the only interceptor producer. Its framework agreement named FY26 money as the source of the first award.

Lockheed Martin release
Apr 21, 2026
What is the buyer about to do?
Multiyear, FY27

The Army’s FY27 budget says it will start a multiyear interceptor contract in FY27 and prints five years of funding.

How big is the work, really?
$35.28B

The same budget book totals FY27 to FY31. When the “up to $35B” award landed on June 24, $842.87M moved on the day.
