Nothing open matches — the place (RI) filter leaves nothing. Ways back:

Try a longer window, fewer filters, or contracts coming up for re-bid. Many contracts are bought through GSA schedules and other vehicles without a public notice.

How this list is made
  • SAM.gov contract notices still taking responses: the response deadline is today or later and falls in the window. Notices without a deadline (many special notices) aren't listed. Deadlines change with amendments: check the notice on SAM.gov before you plan around one.
  • From the public SAM.gov extract, loaded daily; notices posted after the latest load aren't here yet.

Open federal solicitations you qualify for: filters and ranking

SpendQuery's open solicitations list shows every open SAM.gov contract notice with filters for agency, industry (NAICS), set-aside and place of work, free and without signing up. A set-aside tag alone doesn't make you eligible: you must also be small under the size standard for the notice's NAICS code and hold the status the set-aside names, so check both before you bid.

  1. Filter by set-aside and place of work. Pick the set-aside you hold (small business, 8(a), HUBZone, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned), your NAICS codes and the states you work in.
  2. Check the size standard for each notice's NAICS code. Enter the code in the SBA size standard check: you must be small under that code, by average annual receipts or employees, counting your affiliates. Your SAM.gov registration lists the NAICS codes buyers and set-aside searches see; the NAICS finder shows the codes buyers use for your kind of work.
  3. Rank notices by fit. Describe your work in plain words, or name a company whose work is like yours, and the open notices are sorted by how close they are.
  4. Look for buys that draw few bids. Contracts with few bidders lists the agencies and industries where past contracts drew one or two offers.
  5. Save searches and get alerts. Save a search to get new matching notices without searching again, or sign up for free weekly bid alerts.
  6. Free help and the next step. APEX Accelerators give free one-on-one help (apexaccelerators.us ↗); agency procurement forecasts show buys before they are posted; the bid/no-bid check fills in the incumbent, the competition and the time left from a pasted SAM.gov notice.

Notices come from SAM.gov, loaded daily; check the notice on SAM.gov for amendments before you bid.

Questions people ask

What tools help a small business find open federal solicitations it actually qualifies for?

Eligibility for a small-business set-aside depends on two things on the notice: its NAICS code, which sets the size standard you must meet, and its set-aside type, which says who may bid. SpendQuery lists every open SAM.gov notice with both, free:

  1. Filter open notices by your NAICS codes and state, and by the set-aside you hold (small business, 8(a), HUBZone, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned).
  2. For each notice, check the SBA size standard for its NAICS code: you must be small under that code (average annual receipts or employees), counting affiliates.
  3. Rank the rest by fit: describe your work in plain words, or name a company whose work is like yours, and notices are sorted by closeness.
  4. Open a notice's brief for what the buyer needs, the deadline, the likely incumbent and earlier notices of the same buy.
