For small shops and nonprofits
The bids that fit your crew, in one search.
You have a job to finish. You do not have an afternoon to scroll SAM.gov. Tell us the work you do and search today's open federal bids and grants, in plain English, with the deadline and a link to the official posting.
Search is free and open now. Email alerts (free weekly, or daily with Pro) are coming soon. Pro plan coming soon. Nothing is sent or charged yet.
Example, not a customer
A real public notice, shortened so you can see the card. This is not a review and not someone we work with.
Open bid
FCI Elkton — Upgrade Fire Pump
Federal Bureau of Prisons work in Lisbon, Ohio. The card says who the notice says can bid, when it's due, and sends you to the official posting.
Heads-up flags call out bonds, prevailing wage, site visits, and SAM registration when the notice mentions them.
Who it's for
Small contractors
Roofing, electrical, HVAC, site work, janitorial. Filter by trade, set-aside, and how far you'll drive.
Rural businesses
A ZIP code and a radius, or a handful of states. The buying office is labeled when the work location is blank.
Nonprofits
Grants you can actually apply for: 501(c)(3), tribal groups, schools, counties. Category, agency, and amount.
What you can ask for
Contracts from SAM.gov
- NAICS or a keyword like "roof" or "fire pump"
- Set-asides: small business, HUBZone, 8(a), veteran, women-owned
- States, or miles around your shop
- Notice type, agency, award dollars, days left
Grants from Grants.gov
- Who can apply
- Category, such as community development or agriculture
- Agency and assistance listing (CFDA)
- Amount, and whether forecasts count
Phase 1 is federal only. State and city bids are not in here yet. Grants don't carry a work location in this data, so state and ZIP apply to contracts.
What we will not do
We don't scrape SAM.gov. We read the public files the government publishes. We don't submit your bid, and we don't promise you'll win. Registering in SAM.gov is free. Never pay someone who says you have to.
