GovCon Intelligence API · Live Data

Built by a former
Contracting Officer

Everything GovWin and HigherGov give you — plus the judgment they can't. CO intent scoring, Pwin calculation, contract lineage, vehicle gravity, and FY-end surge forecasting in one REST API.

$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer bk_live_..." \ https://api.blackfyre.ai/v1/opportunities/opp_8a4f2c.../pwin?vendor_cage=1ABC2 { "pwin_score": 7.4, "pwin_pct": 74, "components": { "incumbent_strength": "8.1 — strong prior task orders on same vehicle", "co_relationship": "7.8 — CO has awarded you 3x in last 18 months", "vehicle_accessibility": "9.0 — you hold a spot on parent GWAC", "competitive_density": "5.5 — 4 known incumbents in this NAICS/agency" } }

The Problem

Search tools aren't
intelligence

Current GovCon platforms return lists. Blackfyre returns decisions.

🔍

"Search isn't intelligence"

GovWin and HigherGov return opportunity lists. They don't tell you why an opportunity is wired, who the CO favors, or whether you can actually win.

📊

"Data isn't judgment"

Raw award data is noise without CO expertise. Blackfyre encodes 15 years of contracting officer behavior patterns into every score.

"Static isn't proactive"

No existing tool predicts FY-end surges, detects requirement drift, or alerts when a contract family becomes your strongest bid opportunity.


The Solution

CO-calibrated intelligence
in every endpoint

Every data point filtered through the judgment of a former Contracting Officer. Not just what's in SAM.gov — what it means.

CO Intent Engine

7-signal wired probability score reveals when an opportunity is already spoken for.

🎯

Pwin Calculator

5-factor probability of win accounting for incumbency, vehicle access, CO relationship, and competitive density.

🌳

Contract Family Tree

Link every opportunity to its base contract, parent vehicle, task orders, and predecessor awards.

🚀

Vehicle Gravity

Detect which contracts are migrating toward specific vehicles — before the solicitation drops.

💰

Budget Intelligence

Real-time FY-end surge prediction based on unobligated balances, historical patterns, and days remaining.

🔎

Semantic SOW Matching

Vector search across every SOW — find opportunities matching your capabilities, not just keywords.


Feature Deep-Dives

Real endpoints.
Real responses.

CO Intent Engine

Know which opportunities are wired — before you spend 3 weeks writing

Seven signals: sole-source history, tight deadlines, narrow NAICS, incumbent extension patterns, amendment overload, unusual set-asides, and very specific experience requirements. Each normalized to a 0–10 wired probability score.

GET /v1/opportunities?wired_min=7&agency_id=DOD
{ "data": [{ "notice_id": "FA8648-24-R-0042", "title": "Cyber Operations Support", "wired_probability_score": 8.7, "wired_signals": ["sole_source_prior", "very_specific_experience"], "response_deadline": "2024-09-15" }], "meta": { "total": 214, "limit": 25 } }
Contract Family Tree

Every opportunity's full history — base contract, parent vehicle, task orders

Follow the money from sources-sought to awarded task order. See who won the predecessor, which vehicle it sits on, and every modification in between.

GET /v1/opportunities/:id/lineage
{ "parent_vehicle": { "name": "OASIS+", "ceiling_value": 60000000000, "holder_count": 4100 }, "base_contract": { "piid": "47QRAA22D0087", "total_value": 12400000, "vendor": "Acme Federal Solutions" }, "related_task_orders": 23 }
Budget Intelligence

Predict the September spending sprint — by agency, by quarter

FY-end surge forecasting compares unobligated balances against historical spend velocity and days remaining in the fiscal year. Know where to focus in Q4 before the sprint starts.

GET /v1/intelligence/fy-surge?top=5
{ "days_remaining_in_fy": 47, "data": [ { "agency_abbreviation": "DHS", "unobligated_balance": 4200000000, "surge_probability_pct": 92 }, { "agency_abbreviation": "GSA", "unobligated_balance": 890000000, "surge_probability_pct": 80 }, { "agency_abbreviation": "VA", "unobligated_balance": 1100000000, "surge_probability_pct": 65 } ] }

The only govcon API
written by a CO

Pedro Rubio
FAC-C Level III · Former CO at GSA, IRS, DoD, DOI · Founder, Blackfyre LLC

Every signal in this API was designed by someone who signed the 1449s. The CO Intent Engine encodes the actual patterns contracting officers use when they've pre-decided a winner. The Pwin calculator reflects how panels actually evaluate technical proposals — not how proposals claim to be evaluated. This isn't a data aggregator with a scoring layer bolted on. It's 15 years of contracting judgment, codified.

FAQ

Common questions

HigherGov and GovWin aggregate and surface data. Blackfyre interprets it through CO-calibrated intelligence engines. We add CO Intent scoring, Pwin calculation, requirement drift detection, vehicle gravity analysis, and FY-end surge prediction — none of which exist in competitor tools. We also start at $49.99/month vs. GovWin's ~$3,500/month.
All data comes from official US government sources: SAM.gov (opportunities, entities, awards), USASpending.gov (awards, subawards), Federal Register (FAR/DFARS updates), OMB (budget data), GAO (bid protests), SBA (goaling reports), and GSA eLibrary (vehicle data). No third-party data resellers. Everything is public record.
There is no permanent free tier — the intelligence engines have real compute costs. However, every Pro subscription includes a 7-day free trial with full access and no feature limitations. Cancel before day 7 and you're never charged.
Yes. Cancel anytime from your dashboard — no cancellation fees, no contracts. Your API key remains active until the end of the current billing cycle after cancellation.
Yes, on the Enterprise tier. Custom feeds can include agency-specific deep dives, custom normalization for your internal taxonomy, white-labeled outputs, and webhook-delivered intelligence matched to your pipeline. Book a call to discuss requirements.
On day 7, your card is charged for the first monthly cycle. You'll receive a "trial ending tomorrow" email on day 6. If you cancel before day 7, no charge. If payment fails, your API key is suspended until resolved — we'll email you first.
