Knowtex

Knowtex has no SEC Form D on record. What it does have is a confirmed $14,995,950 federal contract and a spot, by its own account, on a five year VA vehicle with a shared ceiling of $775.72 million. Here is what is filed, what is reported, and what is only claimed.

What the filings show

There is nothing to show. A search of SEC EDGAR’s full text search system for “Knowtex”, with and without a Form D filter, returns zero results, and EDGAR’s company search for the name under Form D also returns nothing, as of September 25, 2026. The only federal filing on record for the company is the VA contract itself, which is a procurement award, not a securities filing.

Reading the filings

  1. The federal contract dwarfs the disclosed equity.The $14,995,950 VA award is more than four times the $3.5 million in total private funding Forbes reported for Knowtex weeks earlier, in December 2025. Most of the company’s confirmed money is a government services contract, not venture capital.
  2. The recorded start date predates the public announcement.USASpending lists the contract’s start date as July 21, 2025. Knowtex’s own materials and contemporaneous Fierce Healthcare coverage date the award to October 2025, about three months later. That gap is typical of federal procurement, where paperwork clears before a public rollout is announced.
  3. No Form D means no confirmed equity terms.Companies that raise through SAFEs, convertible notes, or under Section 4(a)(2) rather than a Regulation D offering can go years without filing a Form D. The absence of a filing here does not prove no money moved, but it does mean the $500,000 and $3.5 million figures in circulation rest on a data aggregator and a magazine report, not a securities filing.
  4. The larger number belongs to a program, not a company.The $775.72 million figure is the shared five year ceiling across every vendor awarded a slot on VA’s new Ambient Scribe Enterprise IDIQ, to be competed order by order. It is not money owed or committed to Knowtex specifically.
  5. Knowtex’s claim to that larger contract rests on its own statement so far.Nextgov/FCW’s September 22, 2026 story on the new IDIQ was built around a press release from Abridge and named Abridge as the vendor VA would continue working with. The outlet added, after initial publication, that Knowtex told it the company had also been selected, and that VA had not responded to a request for comment by then. Knowtex’s own release calls itself one of two prime awardees; no VA source independently confirms that split in the sources checked here.

What to watch

  • Whether VA itself, rather than Knowtex, publicly confirms the company as a prime awardee on the $775.72 million IDIQ.
  • A first Form D or other SEC filing if Knowtex closes a priced equity round.
  • Whether Knowtex or a health system discloses named non federal customers and contract values.
  • Task orders issued to Knowtex under the new IDIQ, which would confirm real revenue against the ceiling figure.
