What we are building

Find the right opportunities.

Notices that match what you sell. That is the job this year.

Find work worth bidding

Search SAM.gov for work that matches what you sell. Filter by the kind of work and who can bid. The right notices, not every listing on the site.

Get registered and certified

A free walkthrough: tax ID, get listed in SAM.gov, and veteran-owned certification. It links to the government programs that run each part. It stores none of your documents.

See who won last time

Public award history shows who has been winning this work and roughly what they were paid. See that before you pick a price.

Be findable

Companies that already hold contracts look for veteran-owned partners. List your business. You pick what they see.

If you already hold the contract

We write software and run IT. We work as a subcontractor and teaming partner — we do not bid as a prime. SDVOSB certification is still in process, so work placed with us does not count toward a veteran subcontracting goal yet. If you have work coming, tell us now.

Worth knowing

Four things people often find out too late.

Read these before you spend a weekend on the wrong path.

A 0% rating can still count

A zero percent rating can still count as service-connected. That is one piece of SDVOSB. You still have to meet ownership, control, and size rules. Do not assume zero means no.

The SAM checkbox is not certification

Ticking "veteran-owned" in SAM.gov does not let you win contracts set aside for veterans. That takes the SBA certification. It is the most common misunderstanding in federal contracting and it costs people real bids.

Most reserved jobs go to teams

Jobs reserved for veteran-owned firms often go to a team. The company that holds the contract looks for partners. If they cannot find you, you are not on the list.

Nobody knows who lost

Awards are public record. Losses are not published anywhere. Any tool showing you a win rate built one from guesses, and pricing against a guess is how you lose the money twice.

Leadership

Know who you are working with.

Government buyers look up the people. Here we are.
