Textio Inc.

Textio Inc. is a for-profit corporate entity registered to receive federal government contracts since October 19, 2016. The company specializes in providing augmented writing tools and services to federal agencies, primarily focusing on enhancing the writing process through advanced technology. Textio's core offering appears to be its Augmented Writing Tool, which likely uses artificial intelligence to improve the quality and effectiveness of written content. This tool has garnered interest from multiple federal agencies, particularly within the Department of Commerce.

The company has secured several federal contract awards in recent years, predominantly from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. These awards have ranged from purchase orders for subscription licenses to more substantial definitive contracts for ongoing support. The most recent and significant award, valued at $198,485.00, was granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for Textio Augmented Writing Tool Support, with a performance period extending to February 2029. Previous contracts have included the acquisition of unlimited AWT licenses and maintenance, as well as subscription licenses for the Textio platform. While most awards did not involve set-asides, one contract from the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2021 was designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, suggesting Textio Inc. may qualify for small business contracting opportunities. The consistent nature of these awards indicates that Textio's writing enhancement technology is valued across different agencies within the Department of Commerce for improving their documentation and communication processes.
