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.
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.
Do you sell SAM.gov registration or charge to bid?
No. We only email contract alerts. We never sell SAM.gov registration and never ask for payment to bid. Registering in SAM.gov is free, on SAM.gov itself.
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.
