Coverage

Which contracts do you cover?
Direct U.S. federal contracts published on SAM.gov — the official registry. That's roughly 83,000 active notices, of which about 17,000 have a deadline still ahead at any moment.

Do you cover state or local contracts?
No. Nor education, DLA DIBBS or GSA eBuy. If your business depends on those, this product won't serve you.

Are you affiliated with the government?
No. We have no connection to the U.S. government, the GSA or SAM.gov. We're an independent filtering and summarizing service. Every email links to the original notice.

How it works

Do I need to know my NAICS codes?
No. Describe what your company does in plain English and we suggest them, showing how many open contracts each code catches today. You confirm the ones that make sense.

When does the email arrive?
We download the SAM.gov file at 06:00 UTC and send digests at 10:00 UTC.

Will I get an email every day?
Only when there's something that fits. We never send "nothing today" — that would just train you to ignore us.

Can I trust the AI summaries?
They're generated by AI and can contain mistakes. That's why every notice links straight to the original on SAM.gov. We're a filter and a summary, not legal advice — always confirm at the source before bidding.

Account and billing

Why do you need a card for the trial?
It keeps the service cheap and keeps us from spending time on people who are only browsing. Nothing is charged during the three days.

How do I cancel?
My account → Manage billing, which opens the Stripe portal. Cancel, change card, download invoices — without talking to anyone. Every email also carries an unsubscribe link.

Can I change my filters later?
Yes, any time in My account. Changes apply to the next morning's digest.

What happens if a payment fails?
The account moves to past due and digests pause until it's resolved. Stripe retries automatically; you can update the card in the portal.
