Vista TechWERX · Ruston, LA and Dayton, OH

We help you win federal work.
‍Building solutions that make it easier.

Wherever you are in federal work, deciding whether to enter, competing without winning, or winning faster than your operations can handle, the next move is rarely obvious. We work with small businesses, nonprofits, universities, and research institutions pursuing federal contracts, grants, and SBIR/STTR funding. We also take commercial work where the same discipline applies.

Start with the assessment

Most organizations that call us aren't sure yet whether federal work is worth pursuing. The expensive version of that question is answering it by spending six months and a proposal finding out. PathFinder takes about ten minutes and gives you a brief read on where you stand.

One operating model, three tiers of engagement

We organize the work in three tiers because engagements arrive at different stages. Some organizations need to know whether to bid at all. Some know, and need help doing it. Some need the process itself rebuilt, which is usually where software ends up being the answer.

Tier 01 · Diagnostics

Structured assessments that qualify readiness and produce a concrete plan.

PathWERX
Tier 02 · Solutions

Five solution areas. Most engagements draw on two or three rather than one, so you get a plan built around your gap rather than a package built around ours.

Tier 03 · Platform

Two products you can start using today, no engagement required. BidWERX finds and scores federal opportunities so you don't have to go looking. FlytWERX turns flight data into a debrief in seconds.

Named operators, complementary domain depth

Vista TechWERX is led by operators with complementary experience across federal programs, technology, product development, aviation, commercialization, and organizational strategy. Our leadership stays close to the work, bringing both strategic perspective and hands-on execution to the challenges our clients bring us.

04 · Platform

Two products, one operator practice

We build software when the process needs fixing more than the advice does. BidWERX came out of doing federal proposal work and getting tired of the parts that should have been mechanical. FlytWERX came out of flight training, a completely different market, and that is somewhat the point.

BidWERX

Federal opportunity intelligence for small businesses, nonprofits, and research teams. SAM.gov and Grants.gov opportunities come in automatically. SAM.gov ones are scored against your profile, Grants.gov ones are filtered against your profile, and you get an email with matching opportunities. It pulls the evaluation criteria out of each solicitation, so you can grade your draft response against them before you submit.

Building this required knowing how solicitations are actually structured, where evaluation criteria hide, and what makes a bid decision defensible. That knowledge is the same thing we bring to client work.

FlytWERX

Flight training debriefs powered by real flight data. Turns simulator and in-aircraft telemetry from MSFS, Stratus, iPhone, and iPad into fast, objective debriefs for student pilots, instructors, and flight schools. 10-second in-air debrief, deviation review, and maneuver history, so the debrief is spent coaching rather than reconstructing what happened from memory.
