Proposal deadlines don't wait for contract review
The teaming agreement needs signing before the proposal goes in, the prime just sent a 60-page subcontract with an attachment of incorporated clauses, and the contracts manager is also reading a task order that landed this morning.

Draft teaming agreements and subcontracts from your own paper
Upload the teaming agreement, subcontract or NDA your team already uses, or pick a lawyer-made template. Answer a few questions about the pursuit (the partner, the opportunity, the workshare) and goHeather returns a complete first draft. Need an exclusivity clause or a data rights section added? Ask for it.
Check a subcontract against the prime's terms
Upload the subcontract with the prime contract terms, or an agency's terms and conditions on their own. goHeather reads every page, ranks what it finds and quotes each clause, and when you give it both documents it shows which prime clauses were carried into the subcontract and which were left out or reworded.
A contracts playbook for every prime you work with
Primes tend to send the same subcontract terms on every award. Write down the positions your company takes (how you want to be paid, what happens on termination, which rights you give in your data) and goHeather checks every incoming subcontract and teaming agreement against them.
Ask a task order or prime contract a direct question
When the program manager wants to know what a task order actually covers, type the question in plain language. goHeather answers from the document you uploaded and shows the clause behind the answer.
From teaming agreements to task orders
The contracts a company drafts, receives and signs when it sells to federal, state and local government, as a prime or as a sub.
- Prime and sub
Prime contract terms and subcontracts
Review an agency's terms and conditions, or draft a subcontract from your own template. Upload the prime terms with the subcontract and goHeather lines them up, so you can see which flow-down clauses were carried down, which were rewritten and which never made it across.
- Pursuits
Teaming agreements and NDAs
Draft a teaming agreement and the NDA that goes with it, or read a partner's version for exclusivity, workshare, proposal costs and what happens if there is no award.
- Orders
Task orders and SOWs
Each task order or statement of work read against the base contract it is issued under, so changes to scope, pricing and dates stand out.
- State and local
Procurement and cooperative contracts
State and local procurement contracts and cooperative purchasing agreements, checked against your own positions on payment, termination, insurance and indemnity.
From teaming agreement to signed subcontract
No implementation project and no new system to learn. Start a draft or upload a contract, and the first version usually comes back while the proposal is still being written.
- Draft or upload
Start from your template or theirs

What goHeather drafts and checks for government contractors
Work for a government customer usually comes as a stack of documents: the agency's terms and conditions, the prime contract, a subcontract that points back to it, a teaming agreement signed before the proposal, and task orders or statements of work issued later. goHeather covers the clauses below when it drafts from your own templates. When it reviews someone else's paper, it reads the documents together, quotes each clause and gives a plain-English summary of how it is drafted. What to do about any of them is a decision for you and your lawyer.
Flow-down clauses and the prime's terms
- Carried down or not. Which clauses in the prime contract also appear in the subcontract, which are reworded and which are absent.
- Incorporation by reference. Which clauses the subcontract pulls in from an attachment or the prime, and whether that list matches the prime you uploaded.
- Order of precedence. Which document governs when the prime terms, the subcontract and a task order say different things.
- Customer references. Where the subcontract swaps in the prime for the government customer, and where it leaves the wording unchanged.
Termination, changes and payment
- Termination for convenience. Who can terminate, on what notice, and what the subcontract says about costs, settlement and wind-down.
- Termination for default. What counts as a default, the cure period, and what the terminated party owes.
- Changes. Who can direct changes to the work, how price and schedule adjust, and the window for raising a claim.
- Payment. When invoices are paid, and whether payment depends on the prime being paid first.
- Disputes. How disagreements are escalated, and whether the sub is bound by the outcome of a dispute between the prime and the customer.
Teaming agreements and NDAs
- Exclusivity. Whether either party can join another team on the same opportunity, and for how long.
- Workshare. How the work is split if the team wins, and whether that split is a commitment or a goal.
- Proposal costs. Who pays for what during the pursuit.
- Expiry. When the agreement ends if there is no award, a protest, or a cancelled solicitation.
- Confidentiality. What proposal and pricing information is covered, how it may be used, and for how long.
Data rights, IP and task orders
- Data rights. What rights the agreement grants in technical data and software, and whether it refers to your written assertions.
- Background IP. How the agreement treats what each party brought to the work before it started.
- Task orders and SOWs. Scope, deliverables, period of performance and pricing in each order, compared with the base contract.
- State and local terms. Insurance, indemnity and termination terms in state and local procurement contracts and cooperative purchasing agreements.
How goHeather fits your contract process
Contracts teams at government contractors often read more pages per award than anyone else in the company, and a teaming agreement can end up signed the night before a proposal is due. With goHeather, the first draft starts from your own template, the prime's subcontract gets a first read against the prime terms, your markup goes back in Word with track changes, and the signed copy lives with the rest of the award. It works the same way for the procurement team buying from subcontractors and suppliers, for in-house counsel who sign off on the final version, and for sponsored programs offices handling research subcontracts. If your company also sells consulting or technical services commercially, see our page for professional services firms.
