BidScouts monitors SAM.gov for tender opportunities that match your NAICS codes and filters the noise so you see only what you can bid on. Every morning, a ranked digest lands in your inbox — scores, deadlines, and agencies included.
Most SMB contractors lose before they even start. Not because they're unqualified — because they don't know the tender exists.
SAM.gov, state portals, GeBIZ, Find a Tender — each one requires separate setup, different filters, and daily checking. One person can't keep up with all of them.
By the time you discover a contract, the deadline may be days away. No time to prepare a quality response — so you skip it and miss the opportunity entirely.
You find a tender, spend hours preparing a response, then lose to someone with the exact certifications you didn't have. Time wasted on opportunities you could never win.
Every tender looks equal. You react to everything or focus on nothing. There's no scoring, no ranking, no way to know which bids deserve your limited BD resources.
Enter your NAICS codes, regions served, contract size range, certifications (8a, HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB), and keywords. Takes about 5 minutes. Set it and forget it.
Every 6 hours, BidScouts pulls from SAM.gov's official API. Each tender gets a fit score (0–100) based on service match, region, contract size, certifications, and deadline feasibility.
Every morning you get a clean email with your top opportunities — scored, ranked, with deadlines and direct links to SAM.gov. Focus only on what you can actually win.
Your daily digest shows exactly what matters. Fit scores, deadlines, contract values, and direct links — nothing else. Designed to be scanned in 60 seconds.
Good morning. Here are your top matches today.
BidScouts scores each opportunity across six dimensions. The total score tells you at a glance whether this tender is worth your time.
Does the tender's requirements match what you actually do? NAICS alignment, service categories, deliverables.
Are you licensed, bonded, and operationally able to serve in the specified geographic area?
Does the contract value align with your capacity? Too small = underwhelming ROI. Too large = overextension risk.
Do you have the required certifications, past performance, andclearance level the buyer is asking for?
Do you have enough time to prepare a quality response given the submission deadline and your current bandwidth?
Does your past performance history demonstrate capability in the specific domain this tender covers?
How active is this buyer in your category? Have they awarded similar contracts before? To whom?
Start where you are. Upgrade as you win. No long-term contracts, no setup fees.
All plans include a 30-day relevance guarantee. No credit card required to start.
If BidScouts doesn't surface at least 10 relevant opportunities in your first 30 days — opportunities scoring 60+ that you'd actually consider bidding on — your first month is free. No questions.
We're that confident the data is worth it. Accuracy and trust come first. Scale comes second.
BidScouts pulls directly from SAM.gov's official public API — the U.S. government's System for Award Management. No scraping, no third-party aggregators. What you get is the same data the contracting officers use.
The scoring is based on how well a tender matches your profile across six dimensions: service match, region, contract size, compliance fit, deadline feasibility, and experience. A score of 80+ means the tender passes most filters and is worth evaluating in detail. We don't hallucinate fit reasons — the score is a summary, not a guarantee.
You can adjust your profile at any time. Adding a new NAICS code takes about 30 seconds. BidScouts will immediately start including relevant tenders for that code in your digest.
Tenders with deadlines under 7 days get flagged in your digest with a deadline warning. You'll see how many days remain and whether you have enough time to produce a quality response.
Your digest shows all tenders scoring 40+. The full list — including below-40 tenders you choose to ignore — is available in your dashboard. You'll never miss something because it was hidden from you.
Yes. All data is exportable to CSV at any time. Your tender list, scores, deadlines, and notes are always yours — no lock-in.
We monitor SAM.gov's API health continuously. If SAM.gov changes anything — response format, field names, endpoint availability — our system adapts automatically. You don't have to do anything. If the change breaks our data pipeline, we flag it to you and work around it until it's fixed.
Most people check SAM.gov a few times a week at best. Opportunities with short deadlines disappear between checks. BidScouts monitors every relevant tender automatically — so when a high-fit opportunity drops, it lands in your inbox before the deadline becomes a problem. Think of it as a SAM.gov assistant that never sleeps.
Every day, SMB contractors miss opportunities worth hundreds of thousands of dollars — not because they're unqualified, but because they didn't know the tender existed. BidScouts closes that gap.
Set your profile once. Get a daily digest of every opportunity worth your time. Focus your BD energy on the bids you can actually win.
