Contract answers your agent can cite.
Open bids, awards and spending behind one URL.
Ask what is open that you can bid on, how much an agency actually spends, or what an incumbent has already won — and get the answer with the notice or award record behind it. Your agent reads SAM.gov, USAspending and SBIR directly, so a pipeline is built on today's postings rather than a stale export.
What it answers
Grouped by the job, not by the database. Every question shown below was run against the live gateway before it was printed here.
What is open right now
“What small business set-aside opportunities are currently open?”
Live SAM.gov notices with solicitation numbers, notice type and response deadlines.
- Opportunity search by keyword, agency and notice type, and the detail behind any notice
- Set-aside filtering, so an 8(a) or SDVOSB shop only sees what it can actually bid
Where the money goes
“How much did the Department of Defense spend last year?”
Federal spending by agency for the fiscal year, from USAspending.
- Award search, spending by category, and multi-year spending trends
- Recipient profiles — what an incumbent has won and from whom
Who you are bidding against
- SAM.gov entity search: registration status, and the exclusion record
- Contractor profiles that fold award history and agency mix into one call
- SEC filings for publicly traded primes — segment revenue, backlog commentary, 8-K events
Research and innovation funding
- SBIR and STTR award search, award detail, and open solicitations
- Company award history and agency-level award statistics

Where the answers come from
Primary sources only. No scraped aggregators, and no model-written summary standing in for a record.
SAM.gov
Contract opportunities and notices, set-aside filtering, and entity registration and exclusion records.
USAspending
Awards, spending by agency and category, recipient profiles, and spending trends across years.
SBIR.gov
SBIR and STTR awards, open solicitations, company award histories and agency statistics.
SEC
Filings, fundamentals and 8-K events for publicly traded primes and their subcontractors.
Treasury
Federal receipts, customs revenue, debt and official exchange rates for the fiscal backdrop.
Compound reads
Contractor profiles, opportunity scans and agency landscapes that answer a capture question in one call rather than five.

What data sources are included in GovCon Radar?
SAM.gov (active contract opportunities, vendor registrations), USAspending.gov (federal spending by agency, vendor, NAICS code), SBIR/STTR (small business innovation awards), Congress.gov (bills, committees, legislators), and the Federal Register (rules, notices, proposed regulations). Covers opportunity discovery, vendor research, and legislative tracking.
Can I find open contract opportunities filtered by NAICS or set-aside?
Yes. The SAM.gov tools accept NAICS codes, set-aside types (small business, 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB), agency, place of performance, and posting date range. An agent can ask "find open cybersecurity contracts over $1M with a small-business set-aside" and get a filtered list with response deadlines and points of contact.
How do I research who has won similar contracts in the past?
USAspending.gov tools surface obligations by agency, vendor, NAICS code, and time period. An agent can ask "who are the top contractors for DoD cybersecurity work in the last 3 years" and get a ranked vendor list with total obligations, contract counts, and award histories.
Are SBIR/STTR awards searchable?
Yes — the SBIR pack indexes awards across all participating federal agencies (DoD, NIH, NSF, DOE, etc.) by topic, agency, phase, company, and year. Useful for tracking emerging technology areas and identifying potential partners or competitors with prior federal funding.
