See why an opportunity fits.

Built for small contractors and lean proposal teams.

  1. 1

    Why it fits

    Six scored reasons — NAICS, competitive access, your keywords, timing, agency, geography — add up to the fit score, each explained in plain language. Then you make the strategic call: how does it support your growth priorities?

  2. 2

    What needs checking

    Points not earned show where the match is weaker, and you can challenge any reason you disagree with. A challenged reason stays flagged through to the decision.

  3. 3

    Where it came from

    Every reason opens to its evidence: what the notice says beside what your profile says, so you can see the match for yourself.

The score is where you start. The reasons are what you decide with.

The Alignment phase of an example pursuit — score, six reasons, and your strategic call — on a public SAM.gov notice with example answers.

Decide before you invest proposal time.

Five phases — Triage, Eligibility, Alignment, Viability, Decision — each answer one question about the notice and end in a recorded Go or No-Go. What your proposal team receives is the Bid Handoff.

  1. 1

    Your recorded call

    Go or No-Go, your rationale word for word, and the response deadline in view.

  2. 2

    What needs to happen next

    Only the work your answers call for — conditions to meet, gaps to close, submission rules to follow — each with an owner.

  3. 3

    Decision and sources

    What the call rests on, and its limits: the decision record, every requirement identified with its source section and the notice’s own wording, and the documents it came from.

Every requirement is then sorted into work packages with a suggested owner. Your proposal team starts from a checklist, not from the raw notice.

Start free. Go deeper when you need to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before you sign up.

What can I do for free?

Search SAM.gov opportunities, see the ones ranked for your profile, bookmark up to 15 a month, save searches with nightly alerts, and run one free triage (Phase 1) on a notice of your choice. No credit card.

What information is needed to match opportunities to my business?

Your company name, one NAICS code, and one target agency are enough to start — or enter your UEI and we pull the basics from SAM.gov. Add certifications, keywords, geography, and contract size later to sharpen the ranking.

Where do opportunities come from, and how current are they?

Every notice comes from SAM.gov’s public listings. We sync nightly, Monday through Saturday, score new notices against your profile, and send alerts for your saved searches.

Does a high fit score mean I’m eligible to bid?

No. Fit measures how well a notice matches your profile. Eligibility — set-asides, certifications, clearances, registrations — is checked in the evaluation workflow, and the notice itself is always the final word.

What happens after I find an opportunity I like?

Bookmark it, then run the five-phase evaluation: triage, eligibility, alignment, viability, and a recorded Go or No-Go with the rationale — then hand the requirements off to your proposal team. Your first triage (Phase 1) is free; the full workflow starts with Starter (up to 25 pursuits a month), and Pro is unlimited.
