The data layer your
GovCon AI needs

You're building something — an AI agent, a BD platform, a proposal tool. You need government contracting data. Real data. Organized, enriched, and ready to use. That's what this is.

Why this exists

Government data is free.
But it's a mess.

SAM.gov, USASpending, FPDS — the data is out there. But it's scattered across 10+ government websites, formatted differently, and impossible to combine. Until now.

🔍
Search isn't intelligence
Other tools give you a search bar and a list of results. That's a phone book, not a strategy. You need data that tells you who wins, why they win, and whether you should even bid.
🧩
The data doesn't connect
Opportunities live in SAM.gov. Award history lives in USASpending. Budget data lives in Treasury. Vendor info lives somewhere else. Nobody connects them — until you plug in this API.
💰
Existing tools are expensive
The existing tools in this space charge thousands per year. And none of them give you a real API you can build on. We start at $49.99/month with full API access and a 3-day free trial.
What the API does

Everything you need to build
intelligent GovCon tools

One API call gives you more intelligence than an hour of manual research. Every endpoint is designed by a former Contracting Officer who knows how the government actually buys.

01
Opportunity Intelligence
Every active solicitation, sources sought, and RFI — enriched with incumbent identification, competitive landscape, set-aside history, and a probability-of-win score. Not just a list. A recommendation.
02
Budget vs. Spend Tracker
See how much every agency and sub-agency has budgeted, how much they've spent, and how much is left. Know when an agency is about to go on a spending surge before the end of the fiscal year.
03
Contract Family Tree
Trace any contract from the parent vehicle down to task orders, delivery orders, modifications, and successor awards. See the full lineage of how work moves through the government.
04
Vendor & Competitor Intel
Full profiles on 91,000+ government contractors. Who they team with, what they win, which agencies they dominate. Their teaming style — are they a partner or do they keep all the work?
05
Probability of Win (Pwin)
A real number — not a guess. Calculated from incumbent strength, vehicle access, CO history, competitive density, and set-aside advantage. The kind of analysis a capture consultant charges $300/hour for.
06
Government Buyer Profiles
20,000+ contracting officers with contact info, award patterns, protest history, and behavioral signals. Know if this CO favors small business before you spend a month on a proposal.
07
Smart Matching
Upload your past performance or type a description of what you do. The API finds opportunities with 90%+ match to your actual capabilities — not just keyword matches, but real meaning.
08
Pricing Intelligence
38,000+ labor rates across government vehicles. Product pricing from SEWP. Comparable award values by NAICS and agency. Build price-to-win estimates with real market data.

What people build with it

Your platform.
Our intelligence.

The API is the engine. You build the car. Here's what our customers are creating — and you can build these with an AI agentic platform like Claude Code, Cursor, Replit, or Windsurf in a weekend.

🤖
GovCon AI Agents
Build an AI assistant that knows your company, watches for opportunities, and alerts you when something matches your capabilities. Like having a BD director that never sleeps.
"Find me 8(a) IT opportunities at DHS under $5M"
→ Agent queries API → returns scored results in seconds
🎯
BD & Capture Platforms
Power your pipeline tracker with real opportunity data, incumbent intel, and probability-of-win scoring. Turn your spreadsheet into an intelligent capture management system.
Pipeline pulls live data → auto-scores → recommends bid/no-bid → tracks deadlines
📝
Proposal Writing Tools
Feed solicitation data directly into your proposal generator. Auto-pull SOW requirements, evaluation criteria, and compliance matrices so your team starts writing — not searching.
Upload RFP → API returns compliance matrix + comparable awards + pricing benchmarks
📊
Market Intelligence Dashboards
Show your clients where the money is going. Agency budgets, spending trends, competitive landscape by NAICS — all visualized from API data. Sell insight, not spreadsheets.
Dashboard shows budget vs spend, top vendors, SB goal gaps — all from one API
🤝
Teaming & Partner Matching
Help small businesses find the right prime to team with. Match NAICS codes, past performance, and vehicle access. Know if a prime is a real partner or just checking a box.
GET /v1/vendors/:cage/teaming-style → "loyal_partner" — subs 34% of DHS awards
Whatever You Dream Up
Price comparison tools. Protest monitors. Recompete alerts. Small business compliance trackers. If it touches government contracting data, this API powers it.
50+ endpoints. Your imagination is the only limit.

Built by Pedro Rubio
Harvard University, Master's in IT · Former Contracting Officer, FAC-C Level III
I spent years as a federal Contracting Officer at GSA, IRS, DoD, and DOI — awarding contracts, evaluating proposals, and watching companies win and lose. I saw the same problem over and over: small businesses had no affordable way to access the data they needed to compete. The free data was scattered and unusable. The paid tools were $15,000 a year and still didn't tell you why someone wins. So I built the tool I wish existed when I was on the other side of the table. Every score, every flag, every recommendation in this API comes from real procurement experience — not guesswork.
Common questions

Straight answers

You need basic coding knowledge or an AI agentic platform like Claude Code, Cursor, Replit, or Windsurf that can write code for you. Our API returns clean JSON data — if you can copy and paste a URL, you can get started. We provide code examples in Python, JavaScript, and curl. Many of our customers build their entire platform using AI coding tools with zero prior programming experience.

100% public government data sources — SAM.gov, USASpending.gov, FPDS, Treasury, GAO, Federal Register, SBA, and agency procurement forecasts. We combine, clean, normalize, and enrich the data with proprietary intelligence models. No third-party data dependencies.

Three things. First, we offer a real developer API — the legacy tools don't. Second, our intelligence layer includes CO behavioral profiles, probability-of-win scoring, and budget intelligence that no one else provides. Third, we're built by a former Contracting Officer with a Harvard Master's degree in IT, so the models reflect how procurement actually works.

Opportunities and awards update daily. Budget intelligence updates monthly. Vendor profiles and vehicle data update weekly. Forecasts update weekly from 47 agency sites. Everything is timestamped so you know exactly when it was last refreshed.

Yes. No contracts, no annual commitments. Cancel from your dashboard whenever you want. Your API key will work until the end of your billing period.

Anything that touches government contracting data. AI agents, BD platforms, capture tools, proposal generators, market intelligence dashboards, teaming matchmakers, price estimators, compliance trackers — your imagination is the limit. Many customers build their first working prototype in a single weekend using AI agentic platforms.
