Federal contracting for small businesses, made practical
Winning federal work as a small business follows a path: SAM registration → NAICS and size standards → set-aside eligibility → finding right-fit opportunities → bid/no-bid → proposal basics. This guide walks the path and shows where scored matching shortens the hardest step.
No login required. See matched opportunities, fit scores, and a bid/no-bid brief in minutes.
Get registered and positioned
Register in SAM.gov, identify your primary and secondary NAICS codes, confirm the size standards that apply, and understand which set-asides your certifications unlock.
Find right-fit opportunities faster
The slowest part is separating right-fit opportunities from noise. Scored matching ranks opportunities by fit to your profile, so you focus on winnable work instead of reading everything.
Decide and bid smarter
Use a structured bid/no-bid step, then build a compliance matrix and pursuit brief for the ones worth chasing.
How it works
1. Tell us about your company
NAICS, capabilities, certifications, target agencies, and capacity — no login.
2. We scan and score
Each opportunity is scored against your profile with a transparent, explainable fit score.
3. You get a ranked shortlist
Read the top few with bid/no-bid notes — not the top 500 — and generate pursuit assets.
