At the federal level, opportunities are posted through systems like SAM.gov, GSA eBuy, and related platforms. But some contracting officers skip the platforms entirely and post opportunities only on their own agency's website, where you must already be registered as a trusted vendor to receive notices.
Below the federal level it fragments further: a single state can have multiple procurement portals, and counties, cities, towns, school districts, and universities each run their own systems. Opportunities are posted continuously across all of them.
On top of the volume, each solicitation can be several PDF files of a hundred or more pages that need to be read and summarized before you can even make a bid or no-bid decision. That is why finding opportunities is considered a full-time job on its own.
The program addresses this by aggregating federal and SLED opportunities into one platform, where AI employees scan the database continuously and bring matches to you with plain-English summaries.
