How it works

1

Tell us your trade and state

A two-minute setup — your industry, your certification, and where you do business.

2

We check SAM.gov every day

BidSitrep scans new postings daily and reads the fine print so you don't have to.

3

You get a plain-English digest each morning

A short list of what matched, explained simply, waiting in your inbox.

What BidSitrep watches for you

Checks that run every day, and a bid advisor you run whenever you want.

Daily Digest

A short list of matching contracts every morning — no dashboard to check, nothing to log into.

Size-Fit Check

We flag opportunities that are too large for a business your size, so you're not chasing work you can't realistically deliver.

Sources Sought Alerts

Pre-solicitation notices most first-time bidders never see — your chance to get in front of a contracting officer early.

Should You Bid?

Answer five questions and we set them against our read of the contract — what it wants, who can bid, what you'd have to submit. Whether to bid is still your call.

Why this, why us

I'm a 100% P&T disabled Army veteran, and I built BidSitrep because I needed it myself. I spent weeks lost in SAM.gov trying to figure out which contracts were actually mine to bid on — and gave up more than once. There was no reason it had to be that hard. BidSitrep is the tool I wished existed: something that reads the fine print for you and tells you straight, in plain language, what's worth your time.

Simple, honest pricing

Questions, answered plainly

Do I still need my SAM.gov registration?

Yes, keep it active — that part doesn’t change. What changes is everything after: instead of you combing through SAM.gov, BidSitrep sends you a plain-English digest each morning of what’s actually worth a look.

What if I’ve never bid on anything before?

That’s exactly who this is built for. Most of our members are looking at their first federal contract, not their fiftieth. BidSitrep starts you with the opportunities that actually fit, explains each one in plain language, and walks you through what you’ll need — so you’re never staring at a blank government form wondering where to begin.

What if this feels too complicated for me?

Then we’ve done our job wrong. The whole point is to take the complicated part off your plate. You tell us your trade and state once; after that, you get a short, readable email each morning. No dashboards to master, no jargon to decode — if you can read a text message, you can use BidSitrep.

How is this different from just searching SAM.gov myself?

SAM.gov is built for people who already speak the language. It won’t tell you what a posting means, whether it fits a business your size, or which ones are worth your time. BidSitrep does the daily searching for you and translates what it finds — so instead of hours combing listings, you spend five minutes reading what actually matters.

See what's out there for your business.
