02How it works

Like a part-time capture researcher. For the price of a software seat.

Three steps, about a minute of your time, then it just shows up.

1/3

Tell us what you do

NAICS codes or keywords, the states you work in and your certifications. Plain words are fine.

2/3

We screen everything new

Every morning AI reads all new solicitations — full text, not just titles — and a strict fit-scoring step keeps only the ones that match you.

3/3

You get a short email

3⁠–⁠7 picks, each with why it fits, the deadline, the value and set-aside, and a direct link. Nothing fits? We don’t pad it.

03Every pick

Everything you need to decide in 30 seconds.

No portal to learn. Read the email over coffee, open the one or two worth a bid.

06FAQ

Questions, answered.

Where does the data come from?

From public sources: SAM.gov contract opportunities, USAspending.gov award history for context, and selected state and local bid portals where available. Every pick links to the official notice — always confirm details there before you bid.

How are picks chosen?

Each morning AI reads every new solicitation in full — description, NAICS, set-aside, place of performance — and scores how well it fits your profile. Only the ones above the bar make the email. If nothing fits that day, we don’t pad it.

Can I change what you look for?

Yes. Reply to any email with what to add or drop — new keywords, another state, a new certification — and the next email reflects it.

How is this different from free alerts?

Free alerts match keywords, so you get everything that mentions a word. We check fit, set-aside and location first and explain why each pick is in your email.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contract and no calls — cancel from any email and that’s it.

Is there a free option?

You can get a free sample contracts brief by email to see the format. Plans are paid, weekly or daily. During early access we’ll confirm everything by email before any billing starts.

Do you help write the bid?

Not today. GovPicks finds and explains the right solicitations; the proposal is yours. Many customers forward picks straight to their BD or proposal writer.

Your next contract is already posted.

Let us find it before the deadline does.
