Daily SAM.gov monitoring
$700B+ federal contracts annually
23% reserved for small businesses
100% official SAM.gov data
The problem

The federal market is wide open. Most small businesses can’t see it.

The federal government is legally required to award 23% of contracts to small businesses. But most small businesses never bid โ€” not because they can’t win, but because they never find the opportunities in time.

๐Ÿ•

Opportunities close fast

Most solicitations have a 15โ€“30 day response window. By the time you find an opportunity through trade press or word of mouth, you’ve lost 2 weeks of prep time.

๐Ÿ”

SAM.gov is hard to navigate

SAM.gov lists 40,000+ active opportunities. Without the right NAICS codes, set-aside filters, and agency relationships, you’re searching a haystack for a specific needle.

๐Ÿ“‹

Set-aside rules are confusing

8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, WOSB โ€” each set-aside has different certification requirements and bid eligibility rules. Missing one costs you a contract you could have won.

๐Ÿ’ธ

You’re leaving money on the table

Federal contracts pay on NET-30 terms, often with multi-year options. One $500K IDIQ contract changes the revenue profile of a 10-person firm permanently.

What you get

Fresh federal opportunities, NAICS-filtered, set-aside flagged.

Our agent pulls new SAM.gov postings daily, filters by contract type and small business eligibility, and publishes plain-English summaries with everything you need to decide if it’s worth a bid.

“I run a 15-person IT firm. We’d been trying to break into federal contracting for two years. GovContract Watch helped us find a $1.2M 8(a) set-aside in our NAICS code that we’d never have found on our own. We submitted a proposal and won. One post changed our business.”

Questions

FAQ

Where does the opportunity data come from?
All data is sourced from SAM.gov โ€” the official federal government contract opportunity database operated by GSA. We don’t source from third-party aggregators or vendor databases.

Do I need to be certified (8a, WOSB, etc.) to use this?
No. GovContract Watch covers all contract types, including full-and-open competition and small business set-asides. If you’re pursuing set-asides, we tag the certification required for each opportunity so you know before you read the full solicitation.

How is this different from just searching SAM.gov myself?
SAM.gov shows you raw solicitation data โ€” agency jargon, reference numbers, and 80-page attachments. We translate each opportunity into a plain-English summary with contract value, set-aside eligibility, NAICS code, and a “good fit if” qualifier so you can make a go/no-go decision in 60 seconds.

How often is new content published?
Our agent runs daily, Monday through Friday, pulling new SAM.gov postings. Opportunities typically appear on the site within hours of being posted to SAM.gov โ€” often a full day before they show up in trade publications.
