Business-development leads. Solo contractors. Founders.
Government procurement is fragmented across thousands of portals. SAM.gov is just the federal layer — the state, local, education, transit, and healthcare markets each have their own systems, and many of them require account registration just to view the title. BidSparq's discovery layer scrapes them all, normalizes the data, and ranks every active opportunity against your specific business profile.
14,000+ procurement sources monitored daily
Free trialSAM.gov, Grants.gov, FPDS, state portals across all 50 states, IonWave, Bonfire, PlanetBids, OpenGov, BidNet, NYC OpenData, USAspending subawards, GovInfo, GovCB, GovDirections, RFPMart, and every direct-portal scraper we maintain. New sources added based on user requests — see the live source list on the dashboard.
AI-scored matches against your profile (0-100)
Free trialEvery RFP is scored against your NAICS codes, set-aside eligibility, geographic preference, contract-size band, certifications, past performance, and capability statements. The scorer combines a Shipley-style Pwin calculation with capability fit, then explains the score in plain English. Your top 25 matches surface daily on the dashboard.
Title and description search
Free trialSearch the full title + description across every active RFP. Useful when you're prospecting by keyword (e.g. "cybersecurity", "asphalt overlay") rather than relying solely on AI matching.
Full-text document search
Pro MaxSearch inside every attached PDF, Word doc, and Excel sheet — not just the title and description. Find RFPs that mention specific clauses ("FedRAMP Moderate", "women-owned subcontracting goal", "CMMC Level 2"), solicitation numbers, or the buried requirements that quietly filter out unqualified bidders. Covers 64,000+ RFP attachments.
Real-time speed alerts
Pro MaxWhen a new RFP matches your profile, you get an email within minutes — not on the next morning's digest. Speed alerts capture pre-solicitation notices and short-window RFPs you'd otherwise miss. Configurable per profile.
Set-aside and NAICS filtering
Free trialFilter by 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB/EDWOSB, SDVOSB, Small Business, and full-and-open. Match on an exact NAICS code or a 4-digit prefix (e.g. 5415 catches every IT-services code at once) — so you never miss a related opportunity because of a code variant.
Weekly digest email
Free trialTop-25 matches delivered to your inbox, ranked by AI score with one-line reasoning per RFP. Skips the dashboard checkin habit. Configurable to switch off in favor of speed alerts.
Federal contract vehicle intelligence (GWACs, GSA Schedules, BPAs)
Pro Max64,849 active federal contract vehicles — GWACs, GSA Schedules, BPAs, IDIQs, and BOAs — the umbrella contracts agencies place orders under. "Get on a vehicle" is the advice everyone gives; this is how you find which ones. Browse and filter by NAICS, agency, set-aside, or type, and for each vehicle see who holds it, how much of its ceiling is still unspent, when its ordering window closes, and when a recompete is likely. Task-Order Intelligence on every vehicle: quarterly order velocity, vendor win-share leaderboard, and set-aside utilization breakdown. 1,482 per-SIN schedule pages and 527 per-NAICS vehicle pages cover every major industry slice. GSA CALC+ pricing — 266,963 published labor rates across 6,015 vendors on MAS Schedules — full rate cards plus a direct link to the official gsaadvantage.gov pricelist. Ask the AI: "Which GWACs can my company get on?", "Compare SEWP V and Alliant 2," "What's the median rate for a Senior Software Engineer?", "When will OASIS recompete?" Every figure links back to its USAspending or CALC+ source record so you can verify it.
Vendor intelligence — SEC filings + NIH research grants on every contractor
Free trialEvery vendor profile pulls in their public-company SEC EDGAR filings when applicable — most-recent 10-K annual report, 10-Q quarterly, 8-K material events, with one-click links to the full filings on SEC.gov. Public 10-Ks often disclose federal-revenue concentration, named risk factors tied to specific contracts, and segment-level financial performance — capture-grade intel that competing platforms paywall at enterprise tiers. For health, biotech, university, and academic-medical vendors, we also surface their NIH RePORTER research-grant history: total awards, total funded $, top projects, top NIH institutes. Two free revenue-stream signals that tell you whether a contractor is publicly-traded, R&D-focused, or both. Both panels resolve automatically from the vendor's legal name; private contractors and non-research firms see clean empty states, not broken fields.
Federal cyber procurement urgency signal (CISA KEV)
Free trialWe mirror the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog — 1,607 software vulnerabilities currently being exploited in the wild — and scan every cyber-relevant RFP for affected vendor/product mentions. When an RFP names tech with an open KEV entry, you see an urgency tier (high / medium / low) plus the matching CVEs and whether they're tied to known ransomware campaigns. Agencies under BOD 22-01 remediation deadlines push these contracts with compressed timelines and higher willingness to pay. A browsable /security/cve-watch index surfaces the daily-refreshed catalog with affected-vendor sidebars. Ask the AI: "Is this cyber RFP urgent?" — it scans the title, description, and what we know about the tech named, then returns a tiered answer.
Federal agency market intelligence (USAspending + Treasury live)
Free trialEvery agency profile now leads with two live data panels. First: a 6-year contract-obligation trend from USAspending showing whether the agency's procurement spend is growing, flat, or shrinking, with the most-recent fiscal year's top 10 recipients. Second: a Treasury Monthly Treasury Statement panel showing fiscal-year-to-date total outlays against the prior year — the leading indicator analysts use to predict year-end push windows. Combined, you can answer "Should I lean into this agency right now?" with hard numbers instead of analyst commentary. Both panels resolve only for federal toptier agencies; sub-tier strings and state/local agencies hide the panels cleanly.
Commercial wage benchmark on every industry NAICS (BLS QCEW)
Free trialEvery NAICS-keyed contract-vehicle page now leads with a commercial wage benchmark from the Bureau of Labor Statistics — the actual average weekly wage paid by private-sector employers in that industry, with year-over-year change, workforce size, and a per-ownership breakdown (federal vs state vs local vs private). For NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design), private-sector wages averaged $2,913/week ($151K annualized) in 2024 Q1 across 1.14 million workers. Combined with the GSA Schedule rates we already publish, capture teams can compute the federal-vs-commercial pricing premium for any rate — answering "is my Schedule rate competitive?" with hard data instead of guesswork. Covers 294 NAICS codes representing every active federal contract vehicle in our catalog. Source: BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, refreshed quarterly when BLS releases new data.
Live wage-growth index forecasting (BLS ECI)
Free trialFederal Schedule labor rates are typically renegotiated annually — but agencies and contractors both need to know what's coming. We pull the latest Employment Cost Index (ECI) live from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: civilian total compensation growth, civilian wages and salaries, and private-industry wages, each as a year-over-year percentage from the most recent quarter. The current ECI shows civilian total compensation growing 3.8% YoY (Q4 2024). Use it as a forecast for what Schedule rates will need to climb to stay competitive, and as input for your next contract-renewal pricing strategy. Available via the AI chat — just ask "What's wage growth doing?"
Vendor risk intelligence — SAM debarment + audit findings on every vendor profile
Free trialTwo free risk gates on every vendor profile, surfaced automatically. SAM.gov debarment check — if the vendor is on the federal active-exclusion list, a red banner at the top of their profile shows the exclusion type, excluding agency, dates, and comments. Submitting a proposal that includes a debarred subcontractor is grounds for protest, contract termination, and reputational damage. The banner only renders when there's an actual exclusion; clean vendors see nothing. Federal Audit Clearinghouse findings — for vendors that file Single Audits (nonprofits, universities, state/local governments, large grant recipients), we surface their audit history with auto-computed risk tier: high if recent material weaknesses or going-concern doubt, medium for significant deficiencies, low for clean audits with minor findings. The signal tells you whether teaming with this vendor adds risk before you commit. Both fully automated from official federal sources — sam.gov and api.fac.gov — with no manual curation. Tell the AI chat "Is [vendor] debarred?" or "Audit findings for [vendor]" and it routes through the same data.
Sub-hour federal-award visibility (FPDS Atom)
Free trialMost procurement-intelligence platforms surface federal-award data from USAspending, which lags 24-72 hours behind contracting-officer action. For recompete signals and speed alerts, that gap is the difference between catching the news and missing it. We pull the FPDS-NG Atom feed twice daily — FPDS is the system contracting officers report to FIRST, and entries appear within about four hours of award signing. The data feeds the same /vehicles/[id] task-order panels and the recent_federal_awards AI chat tool, so when you ask "what was signed this week on [vehicle]?", the answer reflects what got signed yesterday, not what hit USAspending three days from now.
