    Boutique advisory firms

    5–25 person consultancies running a shared client book. Centralized data, per-client search profiles, and exportable reports keep the partnership scalable.

    Set-aside specialists

    Consultants who specialize in 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB, or VOSB engagements. Filter by certification at the search level so every client only sees opportunities they're eligible for.

    M&A & capital markets advisors

    Investment banking and M&A teams researching contractor portfolios, recompete exposure, and contract concentration risk for diligence and pricing models.

    Per-client alerts & monitoring

    Daily, weekly, or instant alerts tuned to each client’s profile. Catch the recompete, forecast update, or new solicitation before your client (or their competitor) does.

    Set-aside & SBIR filtering

    Filter by 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB, VOSB, and SBIR/STTR. Specialty consultants can run set-aside-only practices without manual filtering on every search.

    Pipeline & journey hub

    Track every client’s pipeline, capture stages, contacts, files, and proposal status in one shared workspace. Replace the spreadsheet you keep promising to clean up.

    AI-assisted proposal drafting

    “SamSearch has been a lifesaver for me and my business. As a GovCon consultant helping small businesses win contracts, this tool is all I need to find the right requirements at every level of government. It’s affordable, and it’s the best on the market.”

    CEO, TSBA · Ex US Navy & US Air Force

    “The platform’s ability to provide reminders and updates on contracts I’m interested in is a huge time-saver. It allows me to focus on other aspects of my business without missing out on opportunities.”

    Business Owner, BH Consulting LLC

    “I’m a strategy and growth consultant helping small businesses break into SLED and grow. With 25 years in the AEC industry (BD, marketing, proposals) and APMP certification, I left corporate consulting to start my own firm. This tool is a game changer.”

    Strategy & Growth Consultant

    “SamSearch is more advanced than any platform we’ve used, and we value the great support and close collaboration with the team.”

    President, BHY Gov Solutions

    “SamSearch by far the most advanced tool we’ve seen or used. It’s our end-to-end and only procurement service we use.”

    Co-Founder, Tideline Strategies LLC

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the best capture management software for consultants?
    The best capture management software for GovCon consultants is one that supports multiple client profiles in a single workspace, generates client-branded deliverables, and covers federal, SLED, and DIBBS sources without per-client license fees. SamSearch is purpose-built for that workflow: AI-powered search across 15,000 portals, saved searches and alerts per client, instant RFP analysis with citations via Sammy AI, and PDF/CSV/JSON report exports for client briefings.
    Can I manage multiple clients in SamSearch?
    Yes. Consultants run separate saved searches, alert profiles, and pipelines per client: filtered by NAICS codes, set-aside certifications, agencies, contract value, and keywords specific to each engagement. You can generate per-client reports, track each client's pipeline independently, and avoid the cross-contamination problem that comes with single-search platforms.
    Is SamSearch a GovWin or Bloomberg Government alternative for consultants?
    Yes. Consultants frequently switch from GovWin IQ, Bloomberg Government, and Deltek's tools to SamSearch because the AI-powered search is faster, the procurement forecasts are more actionable, and the per-seat pricing is dramatically lower than enterprise legacy tools. Sammy (our agentic AI) generates client-ready RFP analyses and capture reports that previously took consultants hours to assemble manually.
    How do GovCon consultants use AI for RFP analysis and capture planning?
    GovCon consultants use Sammy, SamSearch's agentic AI, to extract requirements, evaluation criteria, compliance items, win themes, past performance asks, and pricing structures from RFPs in seconds. Consultants ask plain-English questions ("What's the exact scope?", "Does this fit my client's NAICS and certifications?", "What's the incumbent's track record?") and get source-backed answers with citations, then export the analysis as a branded PDF or CSV for the client.
    Can I generate client-branded reports?
    Yes. Sammy produces professional reports in PDF, CSV, and JSON formats for executive briefings, pipeline reviews, and capture planning. Consultants use these reports as deliverables: opportunity scans, market intelligence briefs, competitive analyses, and bid/no-bid recommendations, without having to assemble them manually from a dozen sources.
    Does SamSearch help with fractional BD or capture-on-demand engagements?
    Yes. Fractional BD and capture-on-demand consultants use SamSearch to ramp up new client engagements in hours instead of weeks. Set up the client's NAICS, certifications, agency targets, and keyword profile; turn on alerts; pull a market intelligence baseline with Sammy; and you have a working pipeline before the kickoff call. When the engagement ends, archive the client workspace and roll the playbook forward to the next client.
    What sources does SamSearch cover for GovCon consultants?
    SamSearch covers 15,000 portals including SAM.gov (federal contracts), DIBBS (defense), all 50 state and local procurement portals, higher education and K-12 procurement, federal grants, SBIR/STTR opportunities, and procurement forecasts from major civilian and DoD agencies. This unified coverage means a single platform replaces the GovWin + state portal subscription + DIBBS scraper + grants tracker stack that most consultants cobble together.
    How do procurement forecasts help consultants give clients an edge?
    SamSearch AI Procurement Forecasts surface agency requirements 6–24 months before RFPs are released. Consultants use this to position clients during the requirements-shaping window: getting capability statements in front of program managers, drafting unsolicited white papers, and pre-positioning teaming arrangements. By the time the RFP drops, your client is already a known quantity instead of a stranger competing on a cold response.
    What's the typical ROI for a GovCon consultant using SamSearch?
    Consultants typically report 80–90% time savings on opportunity research and RFP analysis, 3x higher proposal-to-award rates for clients, and the ability to take on 2–3x more clients without adding headcount. The platform also creates new revenue lines: market intelligence reports, recompete briefings, and procurement forecasts become standalone deliverables you can charge for.
    Can I add my event to the SamSearch GovCon Events Calendar?
    Yes. SamSearch maintains a free, curated calendar of every government contracting conference, agency industry day, training, and set-aside matchmaking event for the year. Email support@samsearch.co to submit your event, there's no fee to be listed.
