AI-scored federal BD intelligence for small defense contractors. Find live opportunities, score them against your profile, and look up the prime incumbent on any federal program in seconds. Pulls SAM.gov, SBIR, DIU, SOFWERX, AFWERX, and SpaceWERX — all in one desktop app. Your data never leaves your machine.
GovWin is $50,000 a year. GovDash wants $1,000 a month. SamSearch doesn't have real AI. You're running manual SAM.gov searches and copy-pasting into Excel to stay organized.
Your BD person spends 8 hours a week reviewing solicitations that don't match your capabilities, have no real funding behind them, or are already wired for an incumbent. That's 400 hours a year — gone.
Your capabilities list, past performance, competitive strategy, NAICS codes — every cloud-based BD tool ingests all of it. That's a real CMMC exposure. It shouldn't be a tradeoff you have to make.
Connect your SAM.gov API key. GovForge pulls active solicitations from SAM.gov, SBIR/STTR, DIU, SOFWERX, AFWERX, and SpaceWERX — locally, in under 10 seconds. Nothing goes to our servers.
GovForge reads each solicitation against your company profile — your NAICS codes, past performance, capabilities, and products. Every opportunity gets a score from 0–100 with a plain-English explanation of why it ranked where it did. Tags like GO, SHAPING, CONSIDER, and NONE let your BD team act fast without reading every notice.
AI scores are recommendations, not decisions. Every scored opportunity links to the original solicitation so your team verifies before committing.
Some solicitations get posted with no real funding — the program element was cut, the requirement changed, or the contract vehicle has no remaining ceiling. GovForge cross-references USASpending.gov obligation history and FPDS-NG award data to score each opportunity's funding confidence: HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, or PHANTOM.
No other tool in this price range does this. It's the difference between a shortlist and a dead-end pipeline.
For any major federal program, GovForge tells you who's currently holding the work. Type a program acronym — CPCE, JWCC, SEWP V, ALLIANT 2, POLARIS, STARS III, ENCORE III — and see ranked incumbents sorted by a confidence score (0–100), based on live USASpending.gov award data: who has the most task orders, who's holding the most dollars, who's still active right now.
Add your UEI for an extra signal: GovForge flags primes that have subcontracted work to you before, so you know who to call first. Sub-award breakdowns (FSRS) expand within the same panel.
When a solicitation scores high, Deep Dive takes it further. GovForge pulls the full solicitation document, cross-references your past performance, identifies key personnel and teaming gaps, and produces a structured capture brief — in seconds, not hours.
Export your capture brief directly to HubSpot, Salesforce, or as a CSV. Your BD shortlist moves into your pipeline as formatted leads — no copy-paste, no reformatting.
Every tool in this space is cloud-based. That means your company profile, your NAICS codes, your past performance, your competitive strategy — all of it lives on a vendor's server somewhere.
GovForge is different by design. Your database is stored in your Windows user profile. SPS never receives it, never sees it, and never stores it. The only outbound calls are HTTPS requests to SAM.gov for opportunity data and to Anthropic for AI scoring — the same calls your browser makes when you visit those sites.
GovForge is not a CMMC compliance tool. It's designed so your sensitive company data never leaves your network — eliminating GovForge from your third-party vendor scoping for most CMMC Level 2 assessments. Consult your C3PAO for specifics.

GovDash is an excellent product — for prime contractors with a $50M+ pipeline and a dedicated capture team. GovForge is built for everyone else.
We'd rather you know this upfront than sign up and churn in week two.
SamSearch charges $99/month for fewer features. GovWin starts at $1,000. GovForge starts at $0.
