How it works

From CAGE code to matched opportunities in three steps.

1

Enter your CAGE code

GovScout pulls your SAM.gov entity registration — NAICS codes, set-aside certifications, size status, and location — and builds your match profile. Nothing to configure.

2

Review your matched feed

Live SAM.gov notices filtered to your codes and eligibility: solicitations, sources sought, presolicitations, and sole-source signals, sorted by response deadline so the urgent ones surface first.

3

Star, track, and respond

Save the opportunities worth pursuing. Your list keeps deadlines and agencies in view — and with sources-sought notices, responding early is how small firms get requirements shaped their way.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the data come from?

Directly from SAM.gov, the federal government's system of record for contract opportunities, plus SBA certification data. GovScout doesn't scrape stale mirrors — searches hit live data.

Who is GovScout for?

Small and mid-size contractors selling to the Department of Defense and civilian agencies — especially firms with set-aside certifications (8(a), WOSB/EDWOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB) that the big platforms price out.

Do I need a SAM.gov account or API key?

No. If you have a CAGE code, you're ready. Your SAM registration is public data.

What about state and local contracts?

That's on the roadmap: portal integrations keyed off your registered address, so state and local solicitations near you appear in the same feed as federal ones.

Is my data private?

Your account holds only what you give it — email, and the profile you choose to save. Match profiles are built from public SAM.gov registration data.
