How it works
-
1. Pick your NAICS codes, set-asides and state
Free puts yours first in the weekly top 10. Pro takes up to 10 keywords or NAICS codes, your set-asides and one state.
-
2. We read SAM.gov every day
The public Contract Opportunities data, once a day after SAM.gov publishes it; solicitations, presolicitations and sources sought that are still open. The read time is shown on every number.
-
3. You get the matches
Free: the top 10 every Monday. Pro: one email on each day with a match, plus a closing-soon digest every Monday. Each notice dated and linked to the official SAM.gov page.
Searching SAM.gov yourself, or Bid Watch
SAM.gov is the official source and it is free; Bid Watch reads it for you. Checked 7 Nov 2026 (Federal Service Desk).

|---|---|---|---|
| Search without an account | Yes | No search needed | No search needed |
| Email alerts | Saved searches, with a SAM.gov account (Login.gov sign-in) | Weekly top 10, email only, no account | Daily matches, email only, no account |
| Ranked for you | You set the filters and sort of each search | Your NAICS, set-asides and state first, then small business set-asides, then soonest deadline | Only your matches, newest first; closing-soon digest by deadline |
| Deadline countdown | Response date shown | Days left and the time in ET | Days left and the time in ET |
| Price | Free | Free | 29 USD a month or 249 USD a year |
Bid Watch reads SAM.gov once a day, so a notice reaches you the day after it is posted at the latest, not the moment it is posted.

Questions
Is this SAM.gov?
No. Bid Watch US is independent and not affiliated with SAM.gov, the General Services Administration or the US government. SAM.gov is the official, free place to search federal contract opportunities. We read its public data extract every day, filter it, and email you the matches; you always respond through the notice on SAM.gov.
Where does the data come from?
From the public SAM.gov Contract Opportunities data extract, which SAM.gov regenerates every day and anyone can download without an account. We keep the notices that still take responses (solicitations, combined synopsis/solicitations, presolicitations and sources sought) and show the read time next to every number.
What is a set-aside?
A contract the agency reserves for a group of small businesses: total small business, 8(a), service-disabled veteran-owned (SDVOSB), women-owned (WOSB and EDWOSB) or HUBZone. We show the set-aside SAM.gov states on each notice; check your own eligibility with the SBA.
Do I need to be registered to bid?
Generally yes: to receive a federal contract award a business needs an active registration in SAM.gov (free, with a Unique Entity ID). Registration is done on SAM.gov itself; nobody needs to pay a third party to register.
Who is behind it?
Bikoosh, an independent tracker that reads official sources and dates every fact.
How do I cancel, and can I get a refund?
Pro is sold and billed by Gumroad, the merchant of record. Cancel any time from your Gumroad receipt or library; cancel during the free trial and you are not charged. A refund request goes through the Gumroad receipt for the charge, under Gumroad's refund policy. The free weekly email is free and one click unsubscribes.
Can you guarantee we win a contract?
No. We only make sure the matching notices reach you while they are open.
