SAM.gov New Bid Monitor — Federal Contract Alerts

Get a daily feed of new federal contract opportunities from SAM.gov that match your business — filtered by keyword, NAICS code, set-aside, notice type and state — with deadlines, contracting officer contacts and full descriptions.

Schedule it once a day and it returns only the bids you haven't seen yet. No SAM.gov account or API key needed.

Who it's for

• Small businesses and contractors who don't want to check SAM.gov by hand every morning
• Bid writers and capture managers tracking opportunities for several clients
• Consultants and agencies building lead lists of agencies buying what they sell
• AI agents and automations (n8n, Make, Zapier, Slack, email) that need clean federal bid data

How "only new" works

With Only new since last run on (the default), the Actor remembers every notice it has returned for a given Monitor name. The next run skips those and returns only fresh ones.

• Use one monitor name per saved search (e.g. janitorial-texas, cyber-8a).
• Notices whose deadline has already passed are skipped by default.
• Turn Only new off to get the full current list every time.

Example inputs

Janitorial bids in Texas and Arkansas, small-business set-asides:

{
  "naicsCodes": ["561720"],
  "states": ["TX", "AR"],
  "setAsides": ["SBA", "SBP"],
  "monitorName": "janitorial-tx-ar"
}

Software & IT opportunities, any state, solicitations only:

{
  "keywords": ["software development", "cloud migration"],
  "naicsCodes": ["541511", "541512"],
  "noticeTypes": ["o", "k"],
  "monitorName": "it-solicitations"
}

Veteran-owned businesses — everything new in the last 3 days:

{
  "setAsides": ["SDVOSBC", "VSA"],
  "postedWithinDays": 3
}

Set it up as a daily alert

1. Fill in your filters and a Monitor name, then Save as a new task.
2. Add a Schedule (e.g. every weekday at 7 AM).
3. Connect an integration — email, Slack, Google Sheets, n8n, Make or Zapier — to get new bids delivered automatically.

Pricing

$3 per 1,000 opportunities returned ($0.003 each). You only pay for opportunities in your results — runs that find nothing new cost next to nothing. Set a maximum cost per run and the Actor stops cleanly when it's reached.
