What You Will Set Up

- Company name — legal entity name used on solicitation responses
- Company address — registered business address
- UEI — your SAM.gov Unique Entity Identifier (optional; add later if you don’t have it yet)
- Operating regions — states, regions, or areas where you can perform work
- Certifications — 8(a), Woman-Owned, SDVOSB, HUBZone, ISO, or any other applicable set-asides

Build Your AI Profile
You have two options:Option A — Generate from your website (recommended)Enter your company website URL and click Generate Profile. The AI crawls your site and auto-populates:
- Business description
- NAICS codes
- PSC codes
- Operating regions
- Suggested certifications
3
Add Deal Makers & Deal Breakers
Fine-tune which opportunities surface by setting:
- Deal Makers — keywords that signal a good fit (e.g. “8(a) sole source”, “cloud migration”, “SDVOSB set-aside”)
- Deal Breakers — keywords that disqualify an opportunity (e.g. “TS/SCI required”, “construction”, “overseas”)
4
Upload Documents (Optional)
Upload company documents to enable proposal generation and give Sammy more context about your business:
- Capabilities statements
- Past performance records
- Certifications
- Proposals (won and lost)
- Case studies or white papers
Documents are used for proposal generation and Sammy context — they do not affect your recommendations. You can skip this step and upload documents later in Company Profile → Documents.
