SamSearch 3.2.0: Recompete Search, AI Recommendations, and Enhanced Intelligence

We're excited to announce SamSearch 3.2.0 — our biggest release focused on capture intelligence and AI-powered recommendations. This update brings powerful new features that help you identify recompete opportunities early, get personalized contract matches, and work more efficiently than ever.

🎯 Recompete Search: Track Expiring Contracts

One of the most significant additions in 3.2.0 is Recompete Search — a game-changing feature for capture managers and BD professionals who want to get ahead of the competition.

What Are Recompete Opportunities?

Recompete opportunities are government contracts that are expiring and likely to be recompeted. These represent some of the most valuable opportunities in government contracting because:

• Early identification: Get months or years of lead time before the solicitation is posted
• Higher win probability: You understand the incumbent contract and can position strategically
• Reduced competition: Many contractors miss these opportunities because they only react to posted solicitations

How Recompete Search Works

Our AI analyzes historical award data, contract end dates, and agency behavior patterns to identify contracts that are likely to be recompeted. For each opportunity, you get:

• Recompete Score Estimates: AI-powered confidence scores (High/Medium) that predict the likelihood of successful pursuit
• Agency Behavior Analysis: Insights into how agencies have historically awarded recompete contracts, including past vendor patterns and agency preferences
• Linked SAM Opportunities: Access to historical contract records from SAM.gov directly linked to recompete opportunities
• Contract End Date Tracking: Filter opportunities by contract end date to focus on contracts expiring soon, in the next quarter, or within a specific timeframe

By tracking expiring contracts early, you can start building relationships, gathering intelligence, and positioning your company months before the solicitation is released.

🤖 AI Recommendations: Personalized Opportunity Matches

AI Recommendations is a revolutionary feature that transforms how you discover relevant opportunities. Instead of manually searching and filtering, our AI analyzes your company profile and suggests opportunities that are a strong fit.

How AI Recommendations Work

1. Complete Your Company Profile: Add your NAICS codes, capabilities, certifications, past performance, and preferences
2. AI Analysis: Our system continuously analyzes new opportunities across all sources
3. Personalized Matches: Get recommended opportunities that align with your business profile
4. Email Notifications: Receive daily or weekly email digests with your recommended opportunities

Benefits of AI Recommendations

• Save Time: No more manual searching — opportunities come to you
• Never Miss Opportunities: AI identifies matches you might have overlooked
• Better Targeting: Focus on opportunities with the highest fit probability
• Stay Competitive: Get notified about new opportunities before your competitors

The recommendations page provides a comprehensive overview of suggested opportunities, match reasons, and quick actions to save, analyze, or start a journey.

⚡ AI Qualification: Automatically Qualify Opportunities

AI Qualification is designed to help you make faster bid/no-bid decisions by automatically evaluating opportunities against your company profile or custom criteria.

How AI Qualification Works

Set up qualification criteria based on:

• Company profile (NAICS codes, certifications, capabilities)
• Custom criteria (contract value ranges, agencies, locations)
• Past performance requirements
• Set-aside categories

When new opportunities match your saved searches, AI Qualification automatically:

• Evaluates the opportunity against your criteria
• Provides a qualification score
• Highlights strengths and gaps
• Suggests next steps

This feature saves hours of manual evaluation and helps you focus on opportunities that truly fit your business.

💬 Opportunity Chat Split-View: Work Smarter

We've redesigned the opportunity chat experience with a Split-View that lets you view opportunity details alongside your chat session without navigating away.

Benefits of Split-View

• Context at a Glance: See opportunity details while chatting with Sammy
• Efficient Workflow: No more switching between tabs or losing context
• Better Analysis: Reference contract details, attachments, and requirements while asking questions
• Faster Decision-Making: All the information you need in one view

This enhancement makes opportunity analysis faster and more intuitive, allowing you to make informed bid/no-bid decisions in minutes instead of hours.

📊 New Dashboard: Comprehensive Overview

The New Dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of your platform usage and activities, giving you insights into:

• Recent Activity: Latest searches, saved opportunities, and journeys
• Quick Actions: Fast access to common tasks like starting a search or viewing alerts
• Platform Statistics: Usage metrics, opportunities discovered, and engagement insights
• Upcoming Deadlines: Important dates and milestones across your journeys
• Recommended Opportunities: AI-suggested opportunities based on your profile

The dashboard is your command center for managing your government contracting pipeline, helping you stay organized and focused on high-priority opportunities.

🏢 Redesigned Company Profile: Better AI Matching

We've Redesigned the Company Profile interface with new fields and an improved layout that enables better AI matching for recommendations and qualifications.

New Profile Features

• Enhanced Fields: More detailed capability descriptions, past performance highlights, and strategic preferences
• Better Organization: Improved layout with clear sections and intuitive navigation
• AI Matching Indicators: See how profile completeness affects recommendation quality
• Bulk Import: Quickly add NAICS codes, certifications, and capabilities

A complete company profile is the foundation for accurate AI recommendations and qualifications. The redesigned interface makes it easier than ever to maintain an up-to-date profile.
