Straight answers to fair questions.

We run automated scans of procurement sources every day: the federal SAM.gov system plus a curated pipeline of agency and private-sector RFP sources. Every posting is normalized into one consistent format, deduplicated, summarized in plain English by AI, and scored against your profile. Matches land in your inbox by 7am.

Today: federal opportunities nationwide via SAM.gov, plus a curated pipeline of agency and private RFP sources. State procurement portals and platform aggregators (the systems that host thousands of local agencies) are being added weekly. The long tail of city, county, school district, and special district websites is on the roadmap. We publish coverage honestly: if a source is not live yet, we say so.

GovWin IQ is an enterprise intelligence platform: deep federal and state data, analyst research, and pricing to match, typically several hundred dollars per month and up. DemandStar is an agency network: it covers the state and local agencies that post through it, and it skips federal entirely. RFPhound takes a third approach: scrape everything we can reach daily, normalize it, and add AI summaries and fit scores, at a price closer to a software subscription than an enterprise contract. We are newer and our local coverage is still growing, and we say that plainly.

Yes. Federal opportunities carry NAICS codes natively and you can filter on them directly. For state, local, and private postings that do not include a NAICS code, our AI classifier assigns categories so the same filters keep working across every source.

Sources are scanned daily, and your digest arrives by 7am in your time zone. Most new postings appear in your feed within 24 hours of going live at the source. We also re-scan open opportunities to catch amendments and deadline extensions, which generate their own alerts.

Yes, on the Pack plan. You get REST API access and webhooks, so you can pipe normalized RFP records straight into your CRM, Slack, or internal tools. Scout and Hunter are email digest and dashboard plans.

Every matched RFP gets a plain-English summary (what the buyer wants, key dates, estimated value when stated) so you can triage in seconds instead of opening a 40-page PDF. Fit scores compare each opportunity against your profile: your services, geography, and typical contract size. A high score means it deserves a real look this morning.

Both. Alongside government sources we maintain a curated pipeline of agency-of-record searches and private-sector RFPs, the kind that creative, marketing, and consulting firms compete for. That mix is part of why agencies use us instead of a purely government-focused tool.

Scout is $49 per month (1 category, 1 state digest). Hunter is $99 per month (all categories, 5 states plus federal, saved searches, fit scores). Pack is $249 per month (nationwide, API and webhooks, 5 seats). Annual billing gives you 2 months free. Founding members who join at launch lock Hunter at $79 per month for life.

Yes. Plans are month to month with no long-term contract, and you can cancel in one click from your account. Annual plans renew yearly and you can turn off renewal at any time.

It depends on your work. If federal opportunities or private RFPs matter to you, yes, that coverage is live today. If you only bid on one state's local contracts, check our coverage list first, or sign up for early access and we will email you when your state's sources come online. We would rather you subscribe when the feed is genuinely useful to you.

No. RFPhound is the finding layer: discovery, triage, and deadlines. You write and submit your own responses. Many subscribers pair us with a proposal tool or their existing BD process; our job is to make sure nothing relevant slips past you.
