InstantSam

InstantSam reads federal contract solicitations for you: every attachment, in full. It tells you what the work is, what it requires and what would disqualify you.

WHAT IT DOES WITH A SOLICITATION

Open any notice and have the documents read. You get back:

- The scope of work, in plain language
- Every mandatory requirement, with the sentence it came from
- How offers will be evaluated
- What would make your offer non-responsive
- The risks worth knowing before you commit an evening

Every requirement is quoted from the document, so you can check it rather than trust a summary.

HOME: WHAT NEEDS A DECISION TODAY

InstantSam opens on decisions, not a search box: amendments to notices you are pursuing, deadlines this week, and closed bids with no result recorded, most urgent first.

NOTICES: SEARCH, MATCHES AND ALERTS

Search every open federal opportunity by keyword, NAICS code, agency or set-aside. Save a search as an alert and hear when a match is posted. Matches lists what your alerts caught that is still open. Alerts also warn you when they catch far too much, or nothing.

WHETHER YOU CAN BID IT AT ALL

Save your NAICS codes and set-aside statuses once. Every notice then opens with a straight answer: strong match, worth a look, or probably not, with the reasons underneath, each traced to your codes, your status or the clock.

WHAT CHANGED

When a notice you are pursuing is amended, InstantSam tells you what changed in plain words: a moved deadline, a changed set-aside, new attachments, a cancellation.

PURSUITS: EVERY BID YOU ARE CHASING

Create a pursuit from any notice in one step. Move it from Watching to Bidding to Submitted, then record Won, Lost or No bid. Proposal drafts and teaming partners stay with it.

THE REST

- A deadline calendar, including when questions close
- A compliance checklist of every "shall submit" and "must include", with the disqualifying ones marked
- Ask about a notice and get answers drawn from the notice itself
- Reminders before an 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone or SDVOSB certification expires
- Award outcomes: who won what you pursued, and what they were paid
- What comparable work has gone for, from public award data
- Recompete Radar: contracts in your trade and states ending in 6 to 18 months, with the incumbent and value
- Company and contracting officer search
- Wage determination warnings on Service Contract Act and Davis-Bacon notices

INSTANTSAM IS NOT SAM.GOV

InstantSam is a privately operated commercial software service from InstantSam LLC. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by or operated by the United States Government, the General Services Administration, or the System for Award Management. SAM.gov is a free service of the US Government, and you can register and search there at no cost. What you pay InstantSam for is the software: the document analysis, the amendment monitoring, the matching, the alerts and the pursuit tracking.

Opportunity and registration data comes from SAM.gov. Award and spending data comes from USASpending.gov. Both are public US government sources.

AI analysis is a research aid, not legal or contractual advice. Always confirm requirements and deadlines against the official notice on SAM.gov before you bid.

Recent changes:
Brighter screens and a lot of fixes. Reports adds pipeline by stage, win rate by value, where pursuits drop out, deadlines due next, question cutoffs, checklist readiness, work per person and where you win. Your checklist, question draft and letter now stay with a notice after it is amended. Question deadlines are found more often. Files open with a fresh link. The keyboard no longer covers the box you are typing in.
