Custom AI platforms for government contractors
Opportunity discovery, proposal drafting, cost volumes, and program control, built for the way your shop actually works. One builder. Twenty years on the government side of the table.
The platform
Seven tools, one workflow, from the first solicitation to the last invoice. Platform access is a paid subscription, scoped to the tools you actually need and priced on a call.
Opportunity pipeline
Contract discovery across 31 federal and state sources, scored for relevance to your capabilities.
CRM and pipeline
Companies, contacts, and deals. A six-stage pipeline from discovery to close.
Proposal generator
Technical approach, management plan, and executive summary, drafted from the solicitation itself.
Grant writer
Submission-shaped applications for grants.gov, state and local programs, and SBIR/STTR, from eligibility screen to traceability matrix.
Cost estimation
Multi-agent estimating with a validation pass, priced against the labor rates you supply. Export to Excel or PDF.
Project management
Health scoring, budget tracking, task management, and at-risk detection.
Financial management
Invoices, expenses, and burn-rate monitoring.
How an engagement runs
Four phases, in order. Each one hands the next something real: a scored list, a tracked pipeline, a priced volume, a delivered program.
Discover
Scan 31 federal and state sources, including SAM.gov, SBIR, Grants.gov, and DARPA. Score each against your capabilities.
Capture
Track the companies and contacts. Move deals from discovery to close in one pipeline.
Propose
Draft the proposal, the estimate, and the BOE. Cost volumes price against the labor rates you supply. The system will not invent them.
Deliver
Project management, financials, invoicing, and health scoring keep the program on track.
Work
Named because they can be. The rest is on the capability statement, or on a call.
Bomber Supply Chain Initiative
Air Force Research Laboratory, through the Wright Brothers Institute. Led a supply chain resilience initiative for the Air Force bomber fleet: sustainment, parts availability, downtime and supplier engagement.
F-35 Manpower Model
AFRL, through WBI. Led the effort to design a manpower model for the F-35 Joint Program Office: industry engagement, requirements definition, solution evaluation.
Acquisitions, Management and Integration Center, Nellis AFB
Flight chief, 2021 to 2024. Oversight of one $610M aircraft maintenance contract: 12 Contracting Officer Representatives surveilling 167 aircraft across 5 Mission Design Series.
This platform
Seven tools, one workflow, built and run by Kibey Innovations. The live opportunity search on this site is the proof.
Three ways to work with me
Use what is built, have something built, or put a PMP on the program. All three are paid engagements. Most end up as some mix of the three.

Project management
Health scoring, budget burn, tasks, and at-risk detection for every program you are running, on one screen you can hand to a customer.
| Program | Health | Budget burned | Schedule | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Depot data pipeline | 82 | 48% | Month 6 of 12 | On plan |
| Range instrumentation O&M | 61 | 71% | Month 7 of 12 | At risk: burn ahead of schedule |
| SBIR Phase II transition | 94 | 22% | Month 3 of 18 | On plan |
Financial management
Invoices, expenses, and burn rate per contract, so you know the margin on each program before the month closes.
| Contract | Value | Invoiced | Burn | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Depot data pipeline | $1,840,000 | $912,000 | 49.6% at month 6 of 12 | 18.2% |

Bid Desk
The federal bids worth your week
Writing the proposal was never the hard part. The hard part is that most of what the government posts cannot be won by a company your size, and finding that out one notice at a time is what eats the week.
Every week it reads each notice posted against your NAICS codes, refuses the ones you cannot win with a reason in plain English, drafts the ones that are left, and waits for you to approve before anything is sent.

AI-powered scoring across 31 federal and state sources: SAM.gov, Grants.gov, SBIR/STTR, NIH, NIST, USAspending, and more. Set up your Company Profile, then search.

Validation pass: 2 findings. Travel priced above GSA per diem for Dayton; program management under 10% of labor on a 12-month effort.

Knowledge base
Upload the documents your team works from, ask questions in plain language, and get answers with the page they came from.
What past performance can be cited for depot-level data work?
Two efforts qualify. The AFSC Task Order 0007 delivered a depot maintenance data pipeline for three Air Logistics Complexes, rated Exceptional on quality in the 2025 CPARS. The Bomber Supply Chain Initiative produced the parts-demand model still in use at Tinker AFB.

Responsible Innovation Check
- Reduces manual overload and prevents hidden work

- Flag: Risk of over reliance on scores. Require human override and transparency.
60 Second Pitch Flow (click to expand)
- Problem: "Today, RFQs come in via email, get manually entered, and details get lost between quoting and launch. This causes rework and margin leakage."
- Solution: "InsightLoop creates one unified record from RFQ to launch, with automated readiness checks and risk flags."
- Demo: "Watch as I enter an RFQ. InsightLoop instantly calculates readiness score, flags missing drawing, and shows site capacity conflict."
- Value: "This shortens quote cycle time and prevents handoff errors that cost us margin."
- Ask: "I am looking for pilot site interest and feedback on which alerts would be most valuable to your team."

About Kibey Innovations
Custom AI systems and program management, built by a veteran who has sat on the government side of the table. Veteran-owned, Springboro, Ohio.
Who I Am
Kibey Innovations is me, Joshua Kibe: a retired Air Force Senior NCO and PMP with 20 years of operations and program leadership, who then built the tools I wished I had. Veteran-owned. One person. No bench to hand you off to.

Founder
The person behind the platform
Joshua Kibe, PMP
Founder, Kibey Innovations
Joshua Kibe is a retired U.S. Air Force Senior NCO with 20 years of leadership, operations, and project management experience. He turns complex, unstructured environments into processes, systems, and cross-functional alignment that deliver results.
Over his 20-year Air Force career, Josh went from turning wrenches on F-15s and F-16s to leading the Acquisitions, Management, and Integration Center flight at Nellis AFB, with oversight of one $610M aircraft maintenance contract: 12 Contracting Officer Representatives surveilling 167 aircraft across 5 Mission Design Series. Quality assurance, safety, logistics, and government contract oversight along the way. Data over opinion. Process over heroics.
After the Air Force he supported Air Force Research Laboratory programs through the Wright Brothers Institute: strategic innovation efforts, supply chain initiatives, and multi-stakeholder modernization projects including the Bomber Supply Chain Initiative and the F-35 Manpower Model. He also built the tooling: PowerApps for statements of work and approvals, Python pipelines for opportunity tracking, AI-assisted proposal and document generation.
Kibey Innovations is where that experience becomes product. Every tool on this platform, from opportunity discovery to proposal generation to cost estimating, was built by Josh for problems he has worked. On the AI orchestration side he works with Jaderic Dawson of KnowlEdge2 AI. He is also co-founder and COO of Aeryl AI, a drone mission-operations company.
Josh holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Project Management from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, magna cum laude, and a Master's degree in Project Management from Penn State University (August 2026), where he is now pursuing an MBA. Certifications: PMP, AS 9110 Rev C, AS13000 8D, AS13004, and Government Ground/Flight Representative (Defense Acquisition University).
"Run the program in the day. Build the tooling that makes the next one faster."
