    Why this is hard

    There is no single place government work is published, and the detail that decides whether you can bid is usually not in the notice at all.

    Every market has its own portal

    Federal notices on SAM.gov, defence parts on DIBBS, GSA Schedule work on eBuy, and state, local and education across several thousand separate sites with no shared format.

    Keyword alerts return noise

    Notices are written by contracting officers to be legally sufficient, not searchable. The same requirement can be described a dozen ways, and the words that identify it are often only in the statement of work.

    The answer is in the attachments

    Scope, deliverables, security requirements and evaluation criteria live in the package, not the notice, and nobody has time to open the package for an opportunity they have not qualified yet.

    What Capture does

    Every market

    • Federal, DIBBS, SLED, Canada, subcontracting, SBIR and grants.

    Reads attachments

    • Not just the notice, the whole package, including amendments.

    Graded for you

    • Fit scored against your company profile, past performance, and your own criteria.

    What you get out of it

    One feed across every market

    • Federal, SLED, DIBBS, GSA eBuy, Canada, grants, SBIR/STTR, subcontracting and recompetes, searched together rather than one tab at a time.

    A fit score with its sources

    • Every opportunity graded against your company profile, past performance and your own criteria, with the passage it was scored from cited, so you can check it.

    Attachments already read

    • The whole package, including amendments, processed before you open it, so qualifying is reading a summary rather than a hundred pages.

    Eligibility filtered out first

    • Set-aside code, NAICS, PSC, agency, sub-agency, state and zip applied before anything reaches the feed, alongside due-date windows so you are not reading work that closes tomorrow.

    Every notice graded against your profile

    Fill in a company profile once. Everything published afterwards is read and scored against it, whether or not you searched for it.

    Every score cites the passage it was graded from, so you can disagree with it.

    Scored with its reasoning

    Each recommendation carries a fit score and a plain-English explanation citing the passage it was scored from. A score with no reasoning is a number nobody trusts twice.

    Eligibility applied before scoring

    Set-aside, NAICS, PSC, agency, place of performance and response window are filtered first. Work you cannot bid never reaches the feed, and neither does work closing tomorrow.

    Weak profiles are told so

    A thin profile produces thin recommendations. samsearch says which parts of the profile are holding the matching back rather than quietly returning noise.

    The attachments, read before you open them

    The notice is the smallest part of an opportunity. Scope, deliverables and evaluation criteria live in the package.

    The whole package on arrival

    Solicitation, statement of work, wage determinations, specifications, pricing schedules and every amendment. Qualifying becomes a paragraph rather than a folder.

    Cited back to the page

    Every extraction points to its document and page. You check a citation instead of trusting a summary, which is the only way an AI read is safe on a bid decision.

    Saved searches that qualify before they email you

    A keyword alert is a firehose with your name on it.

    An alert you can act on, rather than 142 to triage.

    Qualification happens before sending

    Each candidate is graded against your profile and the weak ones dropped, so the digest is a shortlist rather than everything containing your keyword.

    Links go to the opportunity

    Acting on an alert is a click rather than a second search. The score and the reasoning travel with each item.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can one search cover federal and state contracts at once?
    Yes. SamSearch searches federal, state and local, forecasts, recompetes, subcontracting, DIBBS, SBIR/STTR, grants, Canada and GSA eBuy together, and you choose which of those a given search covers. Most teams keep two or three saved searches with different source sets rather than one that returns everything.
    Where are government contracts posted?
    Federal opportunities over $25,000 are posted on SAM.gov, defence supply items on DLA's DIBBS, and GSA Schedule work on GSA eBuy. State, local and education agencies each run their own portal: several thousand of them, with no shared format. SamSearch searches all of these together, plus Canadian tenders, grants, SBIR/STTR and subcontracting opportunities.
    Why do keyword alerts on SAM.gov return so much noise?
    SAM.gov matches on the text of the notice, and notices are written by contracting officers to be legally sufficient rather than searchable. The same requirement can be described a dozen ways, and the words that would identify it are often only in the statement of work. Matching on meaning rather than keywords, and reading the attachments, is what removes the noise.
    Can AI tell whether an opportunity is worth bidding on?
    It can do the qualifying work that precedes the decision: read the notice and its attachments, check the requirement against your capabilities, past performance and set-aside eligibility, and score the fit with its sources cited. The bid decision stays with your team, but it is made in minutes against evidence, rather than in hours against a PDF.
    What is a set-aside and how do I know if I qualify?
    A set-aside restricts competition to a category of business: small business, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB or SDVOSB. Eligibility depends on your certifications and your size against the NAICS code on the notice, which changes by industry. Filtering by the set-asides you actually hold removes a large share of the feed before anyone reads it.
    Does SamSearch cover subcontracting opportunities?
    Yes. Most large federal programs are prime contracts that are heavily subcontracted, and that work is rarely advertised the way prime opportunities are. SamSearch tracks subcontracting signals alongside prime notices, so a company too small to prime a program can still see where the work is.
