A weekly federal bid shortlist for small contractors
Each week you get the new SAM.gov notices for your NAICS codes and set-asides, already sorted. Every notice has a three-line plain-English summary, the due date in your time zone, and a fit or skip call.
How it differs from raw SAM.gov alerts
SAM.gov's saved searches are free and send every matching notice. That includes award notices, justifications, overseas work and same-day deadlines. This shortlist removes those, says whether a notice is a real bid or only market research, and flags amendments, site visits and incumbents.
