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. Then it tracks every bid you chase, and shows you what you win and why you lose.

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

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.

WHETHER YOU CAN BID

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.

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. When a bid is lost or passed on, pick the reason in one tap: price, technical score, past performance, a requirement found too late.

REPORTS: WHAT YOU WIN, AND WHY YOU LOSE

Win rate, won value, median award and how long bids take, counted from the results you record, with a count of why pursuits ended. Until every result is recorded, it says its numbers are provisional.

On a shared team account, Home, Pursuits and Reports switch between the team's work and just your own.

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, answered 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
- Recompete Radar: contracts in your trade and states ending in 6 to 18 months
- Light or dark appearance

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.
