Built for the work, not the demo. Where a task is repeatable and the citation trail matters, we build the tool — free, browser-based, and open source.
Tooling
Free, browser-based tools for the federal acquisition workforce
Why this page exists
This is where The Wolverine Group publishes the tools it builds. It is not a product line and it is not a business. Everything here is free, runs in your browser, and stays that way.
Each tool starts the same way. Someone on our team is doing a task by hand, on a deadline, and doing it the slow way every single time. Assembling a requirement in the right structure with the right authorities attached. Pulling a defensible number out of the public award record before a comment window closes. The task is genuinely repeatable, the stakes are real, and there is nothing available that does it properly. So we build it for ourselves, and then we release it, because the problem was never ours alone. The same work is being done by hand in a few hundred contracting shops this week.
We are deliberate about what qualifies. A task earns a tool when it is repeatable enough that automating it saves meaningful time, and when the citation trail matters enough that getting it wrong has consequences. Most acquisition work fails that test in the right direction — scope judgment, risk tolerance, whether a firm can actually perform. None of that reduces to a form, and we will not pretend otherwise. What is left is a narrow band of genuinely mechanical work, and that band is where these tools live.
The catalog will grow. We add a tool when a practitioner need is real and persistent, not on a release schedule, which means this page changes when there is something worth putting on it. If a repeatable task in your shop would benefit from the same treatment, tell us. That is how most of these started.
Available now
SOW / PWS Builder
From scope decisions to a compliant SOW or PWS
Make the scope decisions that actually drive a federal requirement, and the tool assembles a contract-file-ready Statement of Work or Performance Work Statement around them. It covers five domains — IT, non-IT services, construction, architect-engineer, and research & development — each reshaping the questions, the structure, and the authorities cited. Citations resolve to either the codified FAR or the RFO model deviation text, and staffing, CLINs, and cost justification stay out of the requirement body by design.
NAICS Size Standard Impact Tool
See who enters your competitive pool, and put it on the record
When a size standard moves, firms that are too large to count as small today become small — and they arrive in the set-aside pool carrying the capture infrastructure they built competing in the open market. Give the tool a USAspending extract and two thresholds and it identifies those firms, shows how each of them wins work today, and drafts a comment to SBA built on your own figures. It works on any NAICS code and any pair of thresholds, not only the rule in front of us now.
The rules every tool here follows
Private by design
Runs entirely in your browser. No account, no backend, nothing you type or upload is transmitted anywhere. Close the tab and it is gone unless you saved a file yourself.
Citations are dated, not asserted
Every regulatory reference carries an “as of” date and links to the authoritative source rather than reproducing it. Regulatory text moves constantly; a tool that pretends otherwise is worse than no tool at all.
The tool drafts; a person owns the result
Output arrives with marked placeholders wherever human judgment is required. Nothing is presented as finished, certified, or compliant. A contracting officer owns the document. The filer owns the position.
Free, with the source published
No license, no seat count, no enrollment, no lead-capture gate on the tool itself. The code is public so you can read what it does before you trust what it produces.
Read the guide first
Every tool here ships with a short illustrated user guide covering what it does, the flow, what it produces, and — just as important — where it stops. Two minutes of reading before the first run saves considerably more than that. Each guide lives on its own tool page, alongside the tool.
What these are not
These are independent aids built and maintained by a private company. They are not official Government systems, not legal or contracting advice, and not compliance verdicts. They do not certify anything, determine anyone’s status under any regulation, or substitute for the judgment of the contracting officer or the analyst using them. Verify every citation and every figure against its source before anything leaves your office.
More tools in development
We build what our own practitioners need first, then release it. If a repeatable task in your shop would benefit from the same treatment, tell us — it shapes what we build next.
