Do I need SAM.gov registration to use Gov Contract Finder?
You can browse public federal opportunity records without a Gov Contract Finder subscription or a SAM.gov entity registration. An active SAM.gov entity registration is generally required to be eligible for a direct federal prime-contract award.
How is Gov Contract Finder different from just using SAM.gov?
SAM.gov is the authoritative free source for federal opportunities and supports saved searches and email notifications. Gov Contract Finder adds paid cross-device workflow tools, award context, Max AI-assisted bid work, calendar organization, and guided support.
Can Gov Contract Finder help me write my proposal?
Max includes an AI Bid Assistant for reviewing uploaded source documents and preparing proposal drafts, including capability-statement and past-performance content.
How quickly are new contracts added?
The federal opportunity index is updated daily from SAM.gov.
Is there a free version?
Gov Contract Finder does not currently offer a free software tier. Book a demo to review current plan details. SAM.gov remains the authoritative free source for federal opportunity search and saved-search notifications.
