Prime Contractor
Partner Brief

1. Executive Summary

Newbloom AI LLC is a specialized AI implementation subcontractor built to strengthen prime contractor teams pursuing government, workforce, modernization, veteran services, and public sector transformation work. The company brings practical AI capability into a prime’s scope of work without competing for the prime relationship, the program management role, or the broader contract.

Newbloom AI is a Minnesota based, veteran owned LLC formed in 2024. The company is registered in SAM.gov (Entity ID XATMCA595DY6, CAGE Code 16PU9). Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) certification has been filed and is pending. The company is also registered as a bidder with the State of Minnesota, Hennepin County, and the City of Minneapolis procurement portals.

Newbloom AI’s differentiator for primes is hands-on implementation experience. Its founders have built and operate production AI-enabled software products and apply that experience to scoped subcontract work: AI readiness assessments, workforce training, workflow automation pilots, internal knowledge assistants, human in the loop workflow design, and custom AI-enabled applications that fit cleanly inside larger prime engagements.

This document is designed to support capability meetings, teaming discussions, and subcontract scoping. It outlines where Newbloom AI plugs in, the veteran-owned and SDVOSB-pending positioning it brings to a proposal, the responsible AI and documentation practices it follows on behalf of the prime, and how engagements are typically structured.

2. Company Overview

Newbloom AI is led by Ryan Newbloom (President, majority owner, service-disabled veteran) and Aaron Newbloom (Operations Manager). The company is built around hands-on AI implementation rather than abstract strategy, and its founders have direct experience designing, deploying, and supporting AI-enabled software in real operational use.

3. Why Partner With Newbloom AI

Prime contractors increasingly see opportunities that include practical AI adoption, workforce enablement, workflow automation, internal AI assistants, document or reporting automation, and responsible AI implementation. These scopes often sit alongside a prime’s core technology, modernization, or program management work, and they benefit from a focused subcontractor that can deliver the AI portion cleanly without expanding the prime’s burden.

Newbloom AI is built to fill that role. The company:

• Strengthens proposals with veteran-owned and SDVOSB-pending positioning, hands-on AI implementation evidence, and clear human in the loop documentation that procurement and compliance reviewers expect.
• Reduces delivery risk by taking the AI implementation scope as scoped, time-boxed work with documented outcomes rather than open-ended consulting.
• Stays in lane. Newbloom AI is not pursuing the prime role on a prime’s opportunity. It is positioned as the focused AI implementation partner inside the prime’s team.
• Plugs into existing program structure. The company is comfortable working under a prime’s PM, security, data handling, accessibility, and quality requirements.

4. Subcontractor Value Proposition

Many primes already have AI mentioned in proposals, statements of work, or evaluation criteria, but the actual delivery of practical AI adoption inside an agency is often unscoped. The result is commitments to AI capability that translate poorly into staff workflows, training, documentation, and measurable outcomes once a contract is awarded.

Newbloom AI helps prime teams answer three practical questions inside a larger engagement:

1. What AI capability is the prime committing to deliver to the end client, and what is the simplest scoped subcontract that actually produces it?
2. Which agency workflows, staff groups, or documents inside the contract are realistic AI targets, and which are not?
3. How do we deliver the AI portion responsibly so that staff remain in control, the prime owns the relationship, and the end client gets documented outcomes?

Newbloom AI’s focus is on short, scoped subcontract work that produces documented outcomes inside the prime’s overall engagement: trained agency staff, working pilots, written workflow and review documentation, reduced administrative burden, and clear handoff materials for the prime to maintain after Newbloom AI rotates out.

5. What Newbloom AI Does Not Do

Newbloom AI does not seek to replace the prime contractor’s customer relationship, program management role, contract ownership, or broader delivery responsibility. Newbloom AI does not position itself as the lead systems integrator, cybersecurity authority, legal or compliance advisor, or agency policy maker unless specifically scoped and qualified through the prime’s contract team.

Newbloom AI’s role is to deliver focused AI implementation, training, workflow automation, internal assistant, documentation, or custom application support within the prime’s approved scope, governance structure, and client relationship.

6. Government Status and Certification

Newbloom AI LLC is a veteran-owned Minnesota company. Ryan Newbloom is the company’s President, highest-ranking officer, and controlling decision maker for certification purposes.

The company is registered in SAM.gov (Entity ID XATMCA595DY6) with CAGE Code 16PU9 issued. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) certification has been filed and is pending. External materials continue to use pending language for SDVOSB until final confirmation is received. Newbloom AI updates partner-facing materials immediately when SDVOSB status is finalized.

For primes pursuing opportunities with small-business participation, SDVOSB set-asides, veteran-owned subcontracting goals, or supplier diversity scoring, Newbloom AI’s veteran-owned status and pending SDVOSB certification are directly relevant to teaming structure and proposal narrative. Until SDVOSB certification is final, Newbloom AI is positioned as veteran-owned with SDVOSB pending rather than as a currently certified SDVOSB subcontractor.

Newbloom AI is also registered as a bidder with the State of Minnesota, Hennepin County, and the City of Minneapolis procurement portals, which can be useful for teaming on state and local opportunities in those jurisdictions.

9. Where Newbloom AI Plugs Into a Prime Engagement

Newbloom AI is structured to be useful as a focused, implementation oriented subcontractor. The company can take the AI portion of a prime’s scope without requiring the prime to reframe the entire engagement around artificial intelligence.

Common placement patterns include:

• AI implementation subcontractor. Newbloom AI owns the AI delivery line items inside a larger modernization, workforce, or technology contract, including assessment, design, build, training, and documentation.
• AI workforce training partner. Newbloom AI runs practical AI training for the agency staff the prime is supporting, scoped as discrete workshops or as an option-period training track.
• Workflow automation and pilot delivery partner. Newbloom AI builds and runs scoped pilots that demonstrate measurable value on a specific workflow inside the prime’s engagement.
• Internal knowledge assistant / AI agent build partner. Newbloom AI delivers an agency internal assistant grounded in prime-curated or agency-approved documents.
• Reporting, dashboard, or document-processing partner. Newbloom AI contributes the AI supported reporting or document handling component while the prime owns the broader system and integration work.
• Responsible AI workflow documentation partner. Newbloom AI produces the human in the loop, review, and responsible-use documentation that procurement and compliance reviewers increasingly expect, scoped to the prime’s deliverables.
• Technical discovery and use-case prioritization partner. Newbloom AI runs the early discovery work to translate broad AI language in a contract into specific, scoped, deliverable workstreams the prime can plan against.

10. Service Offerings That Plug Into Prime Scopes

10.1 Introductory AI Readiness Assessment

A fixed-scope, low-friction first engagement designed to fit inside a prime’s discovery or task-order kickoff phase. Useful when a prime needs a clear, evaluable first look at the AI portion of an agency’s environment before committing to a larger build or training scope.

Typical scope when delivered as a subcontract:

• Limited current-state review of selected agency tools and workflows.
• One stakeholder or team discovery session, joint with the prime where useful.
• Identification of practical AI use cases inside the contract’s scope.
• Risk and readiness observations relevant to the prime’s delivery plan.
• Prioritized recommendations and a short written roadmap.
• Optional introductory staff training session, if scope allows.

10.2 AI Readiness Assessment

A one-week structured assessment covering an agency’s current AI tools and licenses, workflow opportunities, data readiness, staff readiness, risks, and a prioritized AI adoption roadmap. Often used as the input to the prime’s implementation plan.

10.3 AI Adoption Sprint

A one- to three-week implementation engagement focused on training, workflow enablement, prompt and process design, and quick-win implementation. Designed to convert AI capability commitments in the prime’s contract into actual operational use by agency staff.

Typical activities:

• Audit of current AI tools and subscriptions in the agency environment.
• Workflow and process review against the contract’s AI scope.
• Identification and prioritization of high-value AI use cases.
• Staff training and onboarding for end-client teams.
• Prompt and workflow design.
• Implementation of quick-win automations.
• Recommendations for longer-term AI adoption inside the contract.

10.4 Workflow Automation Pilot

A scoped pilot that takes one selected workflow from the prime’s engagement and builds a working, measurable AI-supported or automation-supported process around it. Outcomes are documented, reviewed with staff, and handed off to the prime with usage and review guidance.

10.5 Internal Knowledge Assistant / AI Agent Build

Design and delivery of an internal AI assistant or agent grounded in agency-approved documents, policies, SOPs, or reference material. Includes human in the loop review design, source citation patterns, and staff training on safe use. Frequently scoped as a discrete subcontract deliverable inside a larger modernization or knowledge management contract.

10.6 Custom AI-Enabled Application Build

Scoped design and development of AI-enabled applications such as reporting tools, document analysis systems, intake or triage assistants, dashboards, or — where appropriate, and with clear review, escalation, accessibility, and approval controls — constituent-facing tools. Newbloom AI generally recommends staff-facing applications first, then constituent-facing tools once review and escalation are stable. Scope, timeline, and pricing are defined per project under the prime’s contract structure.

10.7 AI Workforce Training

Practical AI literacy and workflow training designed for agency staff. Sessions can be delivered as standalone subcontract workshops, as components of an Adoption Sprint or Pilot, or as a recurring training track inside the prime’s option periods. Topics typically include responsible use, prompt design, tool selection, common pitfalls, and workflow integration.

10.8 Ongoing AI Implementation Support

Continued advisory support, training refreshers, workflow improvement, documentation, and new use case development after an initial assessment, sprint, or build. Frequently structured as a level-of-effort line item under the prime’s contract.

11. Pricing and Subcontract Structures

Indicative ranges reflect founder-led delivery, preparation, client meetings, workflow review, training materials, implementation work, documentation, and follow-up. Larger projects also account for specialist subcontractor support, quality review, project management, data-handling requirements, insurance, and administrative compliance under the prime’s contract.

Newbloom AI is comfortable with several subcontract structures depending on the prime’s vehicle and the end client’s rules:

• Firm fixed price for scoped assessments, sprints, pilots, and discrete deliverables.
• Time and materials or labor hour for ongoing implementation support and option-period training tracks.
• Milestone-based for custom application builds and multi-phase pilot-to-production work.
• Task-order based under IDIQ, BPA, or other indefinite-delivery vehicles where Newbloom AI participates as a named subcontractor.
• Grant-aligned structures where the underlying opportunity is grant funded and the prime needs cost categories that match the funder’s rules.

Subcontracting note: Newbloom AI follows the prime’s lead on contract vehicle, pricing structure, invoicing, reporting, security, data-handling, and customer-communication requirements. Subcontract scopes can be structured as fixed-price deliverables, labor-hour support, milestone-based work, or task order support depending on the prime’s vehicle and the end client’s rules.

12. Subcontractor Roles and Scope Examples

The following are illustrative examples of how Newbloom AI can be inserted into a prime’s scope of work. They are organized by the type of larger contract a prime is typically pursuing.

12.1 Government Modernization and IT Transformation Contracts

Where a prime is delivering broader modernization, application modernization, IT services, or technology transformation work, Newbloom AI can take the AI implementation, training, and responsible-use documentation portion.

Example subcontracted scopes:

• AI readiness assessment and use-case prioritization for selected agency programs.
• Internal knowledge assistant build for a specific business unit.
• Workflow automation pilot for a document-heavy or reporting-heavy process.
• Human in the loop and responsible-use documentation aligned to the prime’s SOW.

12.2 Workforce Development and Training Contracts

Where a prime is delivering workforce development, training, upskilling, or apprenticeship work for public agencies, workforce boards, or educational institutions, Newbloom AI can deliver the AI training and applied workshop content.

Example subcontracted scopes:

• Practical AI literacy curriculum and instructor materials.
• Hands-on prompt-design and tool-use workshops tied to real job tasks.
• Train-the-trainer sessions for the prime’s instructor pool.
• Small-business AI adoption training delivered through workforce or economic-development programs.

12.3 Veteran-Serving and Mission-Aligned Contracts

Where a prime is delivering services to veteran-serving agencies, program offices, or mission-aligned nonprofits, Newbloom AI’s veteran-owned status and applied AI capability are directly relevant.

Example subcontracted scopes:

• AI-supported intake summary tooling with human review.
• Staff-facing knowledge assistant for benefits or program navigation.
• Reporting support for program outcomes and grant deliverables.
• AI-supported document processing for case files, with staff review.

12.4 Reporting, Records, and Document-Heavy Workflows

Where the prime’s contract includes reporting modernization, records modernization, or document processing improvement, Newbloom AI can build and document the AI-supported components.

Example subcontracted scopes:

• AI-supported routine report drafting from approved source documents.
• Records-search assistance for public-records, data-practices, or internal lookup workflows.
• Reporting and dashboard automation for program outcomes.
• Document analysis and triage tooling with staff review checkpoints.

12.5 Permitting, Licensing, and Constituent Service Contracts

Where the prime’s scope touches state or local government operations such as permitting, licensing, inspection, or constituent service, Newbloom AI can contribute scoped pilots and internal assistants without taking on the prime’s broader program responsibility.

Example subcontracted scopes:

• AI-assisted permit or license application triage with staff review.
• Internal policy, code, or procedure assistant for clerks, inspectors, or administrative staff.
• Workflow automation pilot for repetitive intake or routing tasks.
• Responsible-use documentation for constituent-facing AI components.

12.6 Manufacturing and Economic-Development Contracts

Where the prime is delivering services to manufacturing extension programs, economic-development organizations, or small-business support programs, Newbloom AI can contribute applied AI training and small-business automation pilots.

Example subcontracted scopes:

• Practical AI training cohorts for small and mid-sized manufacturers.
• Reporting and dashboard automation for program outcomes.
• Internal knowledge assistant for staff supporting small-business clients.
• Workflow automation pilots for repetitive administrative or reporting work.

13. Responsible AI and Human in the Loop Implementation

Newbloom AI does not position itself as a policy creator for responsible AI, and it does not displace a prime’s own governance posture. Newbloom AI’s practical role is to help the prime and the end client understand, apply, and administer existing responsible-use policies, agency tool guidance, and AI adoption requirements within real staff workflows.

Implementation principles applied across Newbloom AI subcontract engagements:

• Human in the loop by default. AI-supported workflows accelerate first-pass work; staff remain responsible for review, correction, approval, and any decisions of consequence.
• Source-grounded knowledge assistants. Internal AI assistants are built from agency-approved or prime-curated documents, with citation patterns appropriate to the use case.
• Scope-appropriate data handling and accessibility. Data sensitivity, hosting location, retention, access controls, accessibility expectations, and review requirements are scoped before work begins and aligned with both the prime’s security posture and the end client’s policies.
• Documented workflows. Every implementation produces written documentation describing how the workflow operates, where AI is involved, and how staff should review outputs — written so the prime can maintain it after handoff.
• Outcome measurement. Engagements define what will be measured (e.g., time saved, items processed, documents reviewed, staff trained) before delivery, and report against those measures at the end so the prime can roll outcomes into the broader contract reporting.
• Tool-portable skills. Training and process design favor durable practices over vendor-specific features, so improvements remain useful as AI tools and the prime’s technology stack evolve.

14. Past Performance and Relevant Experience

Newbloom AI is earlier in its government-contracting journey than its founders are in their applied AI journey. The company’s strongest current proof points are based on products built, applied AI experience, founder backgrounds, and early consulting activity.

Completed and relevant work:

• Built and operates the Lot Lingo product, an AI-enabled auction workflow platform used by paying customers (see §15 for detail).
• Built Lot Lingo Tracker, a companion AI-enabled product currently in open paid early access.
• Completed phone consultations for two manufacturing facilities related to automation proposals.
• Initiated outreach to additional organizations for potential pilot and consulting projects.
• Registered as a bidder with the State of Minnesota, Hennepin County, and the City of Minneapolis procurement portals.

The team’s practical experience comes from intensive daily use of AI tools and AI-powered development workflows over the last two years. Newbloom AI does not present itself as an AI research lab. Its accurate positioning is that it is expert in using AI, applying AI-powered tools, understanding how to leverage AI in business workflows, and helping agency teams put those tools to work inside a prime’s engagement.

15. Proof Point: Lot Lingo

Lot Lingo is Newbloom AI’s most important proof point because it demonstrates that the founders have built and operated a real AI-enabled product that solves a specific operational problem for paying customers. For a prime contractor, it is included here as evidence of applied AI delivery capability rather than as a commercial offering.

What Lot Lingo is. An AI-powered auction workflow platform that supports complete auction creation: photo capture, mobile photo workflows, image editing, background removal, AI-generated lot titles and descriptions, automatic categorization, taxability and shippability assignment, voice-driven interaction, and platform-specific export workflows.

Human in the loop design. Lot Lingo accelerates cataloging and prepares first-pass outputs; auction staff remain responsible for reviewing, correcting, approving, and exporting auction information. This mirrors the implementation philosophy Newbloom AI applies inside prime engagements with public sector end clients.

Current traction:

• 15 paying customers.
• Approximately 80% trial-to-paid conversion.
• Strong customer retention (effectively 100% except for customer business closure or platform departure).
• Approximately 2,000 auctions generated to date.
• Approximately 500,000 lots generated to date.

Customer-success example. Your Turn LLC, a Lot Lingo customer, reported that Lot Lingo reduced the time required to catalog a large home from approximately five days to one day. The efficiency gain helped the company take on more projects, hire additional staff, and include lower-value lots that previously may not have justified the labor required to list them.

Why this matters to a prime contractor. Lot Lingo shows that Newbloom AI’s founders can identify a real workflow problem, build an AI-enabled tool around actual user behavior, design human in the loop review processes, deploy a product used by paying customers, and convert AI capabilities into measurable productivity gains. The same approach applies directly to prime engagements where staff at an agency or program office are managing repetitive, document-heavy, image-heavy, or communication-heavy work.

16. Teaming and Engagement Process

Newbloom AI’s typical engagement sequence with a prime contractor:

1. Initial conversation. Brief teaming call to understand the prime’s pursuit, the AI-relevant scope, the end client, the contracting vehicle, and the timing.
2. Capability fit review. Confirmation of where Newbloom AI is a clean subcontract fit and where it is not, with direct guidance on which offerings map to the opportunity.
3. Teaming materials. Provision of capability statement, partner brief, this prime contractor partner brief, and applicable certification and registration information for the prime’s teaming file.
4. Scoping. Written description of proposed subcontract scope, deliverables, timeline, indicative pricing, and pricing structure aligned with the prime’s contract vehicle.
5. Teaming agreement and proposal support. Cooperation on teaming agreements, NDAs, proposal narrative inputs, technical approach language, staffing and work-plan inputs, past performance language, and veteran-owned and SDVOSB-pending positioning as needed.
6. Award-period delivery. Founder-led delivery of the agreed scope under the prime’s PM, including staff time, workflow review, training, implementation work, documentation, and outcome reporting.
7. Outcome reporting and option-period planning. Written summary of what was delivered, what was measured, recommended next steps, and handoff materials sized for the prime’s ongoing reporting and option-period planning.

17. Differentiators

• Stays in lane as a subcontractor. Newbloom AI is not pursuing the prime role on a prime’s opportunity. The tone is “we strengthen your team and proposal,” not “we compete with you.”
• Founder-led delivery with subcontractor scalability. Engagements are led by Newbloom AI’s founders, with specialist subcontractor support brought in under Newbloom AI’s direct oversight when scope or schedule requires it.
• Practical implementation focus, not hype. Subcontract engagements produce trained staff, working tools, and documented workflows that the prime can roll into broader contract deliverables.
• Direct experience building production AI-enabled applications. Lot Lingo is in active paying use; Lot Lingo Tracker is in open paid early access.
• Day-to-day applied AI experience. Two years of intensive use of AI tools and AI-powered development workflows in real operations.
• Human in the loop documentation as a default deliverable. Responsible-use, review, and workflow documentation are produced as part of every implementation, not as an afterthought.
• Veteran-owned and SDVOSB-pending positioning. Veteran-owned, with SDVOSB certification filed and pending, supporting small-business and veteran-owned subcontracting goals.
• Active SAM.gov registration and CAGE Code 16PU9 in place for federal subcontracting today.
