What information is available for each government contractor?
Each contractor profile includes UEI (Unique Entity Identifier), certifications, website, capability statements, contact information, past government contract awards, performance history, NAICS codes, and our proprietary SamSearch score based on profile strength and past performance.
How does the SamSearch score work for partner evaluation?
The SamSearch score analyzes multiple factors including past government contract performance, profile completeness, contract award history, capability statements quality, and available company information to provide a strength indicator that helps you identify the most reliable and successful partners.
Can I filter partners by small business certifications?
Yes! You can filter by all major small business certifications including 8(a) Business Development, HUBZone, Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and other set-aside codes to find partners that meet specific contracting requirements.
How can I find partners in specific geographic locations?
The platform allows filtering by state, city, and region to find local partners for geographic requirements or to expand into new markets. This is especially useful for contracts with local presence requirements or building regional partnerships.
What types of government contractors are in the database?
The database includes 400K+ government contractors across all industries including IT services, professional services, construction, engineering, cybersecurity, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, research and development, and specialized defense contractors from all government agencies.
How do I find partners with government contracting experience?

Can I search for partners by NAICS codes?
Absolutely! You can search and filter by specific NAICS codes to find partners in your industry or complementary industries. This helps identify companies that can provide specialized capabilities or serve as subcontractors for your specific service offerings.
What makes this better than other contractor databases?

Many successful government contractors rely on strong partnership networks to grow their business.
