SamSearch Dashboard
SamSearch is an AI-powered government contracting platform that helps businesses find, qualify, and pursue government contracts across federal and — where your plan includes it — state, local, education, and Canadian public-sector sources.
New here? The Quickstart gets you from a blank account to your first AI recommendation in three steps. If something looks broken, check the Troubleshooting guide first — most “this isn’t working” moments turn out to be SamSearch working exactly as designed.

Get Started

The first step is setting up your Company Profile — the more complete it is, the better SamSearch’s AI works for you. At a minimum, add positive keywords, NAICS codes, PSC codes, or a business description of 40+ characters — without at least one of these, AI Recommendations has nothing to generate against.

Company Profile Setup

Add your NAICS/PSC codes, certifications, keywords, and documents to power AI matching and proposal generation

Included with Every Paid Plan

These features are available on every paid SamSearch account. On every plan, Search and Recommendations cover Federal opportunities — see the next section for sources that require Pro or Enterprise.

Search

Find opportunities with Smart Search (plain-English intent matching) or Keyword Search (boolean AND/OR/NOT operators)

AI Recommendations

Personalized opportunity matches scored against your Company Profile — no searching required

AI Qualification

Automatic pass / low-fit / reject evaluation against your profile or custom criteria, delivered on your saved-search alerts

Saved & History

Save search queries, set Daily/Weekly/Monthly email alerts, and review your full search history

Saved Opportunities

Every opportunity you’ve starred, organized by source with pipeline-stage tracking

Journey Hub

Board, Calendar, Table, and My Tasks views for managing your bid pipeline as a team

Reports & Dashboards

Chart your pipeline, win rate, revenue, and team workload, arrange the charts into dashboards, and pin one as your home page

Chat with Sammy

AI assistant for researching opportunities, analyzing solicitations, and drafting proposal content

Account Settings

Manage your account, billing, team, and member permissions

Upgrade

Compare plans and request additional seats, profiles, or sources

Included with Pro and Enterprise

These sources and features require SLED access, which comes with the Pro and Enterprise plans. Without it, Search and Recommendations only draw from Federal. If you expected to see one of these and don’t, that’s the first thing to check — see Troubleshooting: “I only see Federal opportunities”.

Proposal Generation

Generate a first-draft proposal from your Company Profile and the solicitation’s own documents

State & Local (SLED)

State, county, city, education, and other local government opportunities across all 50 states

DIBBS

Defense Logistics Agency parts opportunities, NSNs, and past award pricing

Canada

Federal, provincial, municipal, and education opportunities from Canadian public-sector sources

Recompete

Contracts expected to come up for re-solicitation, with incumbent and competitive intelligence

Grants

Federal grant opportunities from grants.gov

Forecasts

Pre-solicitation procurement forecasts published by individual agencies

Subcontracting

Subcontracting opportunities posted by prime contractors

SBIR/STTR

Small Business Innovation Research and Technology Transfer topics

Partnerships

Search the SBA’s Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) directory to find teaming partners and subcontractors

Awards

Historical federal contract awards and spending, read live from USAspending.gov

Market Watch

Track NAICS/PSC/agency activity and research contracting officers and buyers

SB Specialists

Find and contact Small Business Program Managers at federal agencies
GSA eBuy also requires SLED access. It works differently from every other source — it’s a private, per-organization feed activated by adding SamSearch as a Point of Contact on your GSA eBuy account. Setup guide →
