Savantir with OAS: Turning Acquisition Data into Decisions

nGAP’s Open Acquisition System (OAS) is built for modern, software-defined contracting—where compliance, speed, auditability, and fiscal control are engineered into the workflow rather than bolted on after the fact. Savantir, nGAP’s data extraction and analytics module, sits inside OAS to unlock the value of the documents, transactions, and signals that acquisition teams generate every day. Together, they turn raw inputs into timely, transparent, and defensible decisions.
What OAS Does Best and Where Savantir Fits
OAS orchestrates the end-to-end acquisition lifecycle and connects with the government’s
financial backbone (ERP and obligation systems), synchronizing procurement actions with the right budget lines and appropriations. That means purchase requests, task orders, and funds status move in lockstep between contracting and finance without re-keying or blind spots. Inside that workflow, Savantir operates as the data engine for OAS by supplying it with analytics, predictions, and automation. Savantir ships as an integrated OAS module (and can also run standalone), so teams gain these capabilities without stitching together third-party tools.
How Savantir Works Within OAS
1) High-fidelity data extraction
Savantir converts unstructured text RFPs, statements of work, vendor proposals,
invoices, and mod packages into structured fields OAS can route, validate, and report on. This real-time extraction reduces manual copy/paste, accelerates review cycles, and exposes outliers earlier.
2) Predictive analytics & cost estimation
Using historical procurement data, Savantir identifies trends and suggests forecasts for demand, schedules, and cost drivers. Its models surface likely cost ranges and budget impacts, helping contracting officers and program managers shape strategies before solicitations go out.
3) Automated decision support
Savantir augments OAS with recommendations and rules-aware automation flagging anomalies, proposing next steps, and pre-populating artifacts so experts can focus on judgment calls rather than hunting for numbers.
4) Seamless hand-offs to finance
Because OAS already synchronizes with ERP, treasury, and obligation systems,
Savantir’s outputs (e.g., refined estimates, validated line items) flow directly into the
books improving funds control and reducing reconciliation work.
Concrete Benefits of Using Savantir Alongside OAS
Faster, cleaner drafting with fewer compliance gaps OAS assembles solicitation and award templates using a rules-driven clause engine (FAR/DFARS plus agency supplements). When Savantir supplies structured data and risk indicators to that engine, teams draft faster and with better coverage of thresholds, authority sets, and deviations.
Sharper visibility and oversight
With Savantir feeding real-time extractions and OAS presenting analytics dashboards, leadership gets a single view of spend, variances, and exception alerts. That transparency helps detect inflated pricing and other anomalies early.
Reduced fraud and corruption risk.
The combination of broad data access (OAS) and real-time extraction/flagging (Savantir) makes it easier to spot irregularities and potential conflicts of interest before they become findings.
Better resourcing amid workforce constraints
Where organizations must do more with fewer people, OAS’s automation and OCCM-aligned workflows reduce manual steps; Savantir’s predictions and pre-processing shrink research and analysis time. The result is higher throughput without sacrificing control.
Scalability from shipyards to enterprise portfolios
Originally developed to support Navy use cases, nGAP’s stack (OAS + Savantir) was designed for large, complex programs with high modification rates and massive document volume. The same strengths generalize to civilian agencies and enterprise buyers.
Multilingual reach for global programs
normalizing and extracting content across languages, global teams can manage vendor bases and documentation consistently.
Key Capabilities That Enhance OAS
Document-to-data pipelines: Turn PDFs and narratives into fields OAS can validate,
route and audit.
Forecasting “what-if” scenarios
Estimate costs and timelines using historical analogs and market factors before committing funds.
Exception and risk alerts
Proactive notifications for unusual pricing, clause gaps, or
obligation mismatches—not weeks later during reconciliation.
Clause management acceleration
Feed cleaner data into OAS’s dynamic templates for solicitations and awards aligned with FAR/DFARS and agency supplements.
ERP-aware automation
Push clean, bi-directional updates to SAP/Oracle/Momentum and related obligation systems.
The Bottom Line
OAS gives acquisition teams the system of record and control they need; Savantir gives them the intelligence layer they’ve been missing. Together they:
Shorten cycle time from requirement to award
Improve estimate accuracy and budget planning
Reduce manual data handling and the errors that come with it
Strengthen oversight, auditability, and fraud deterrence
Keep procurement, finance, and compliance in continuous sync
That’s what “software-defined contracting” looks like in practice: decisions powered by clean data, delivered inside the systems that already run the mission.
