Questions

Before you subscribe

Is this the government?

No. CallSheet Bids is an independent service. We organize public data from SAM.gov and USAspending.gov. Always confirm details in the official notice before you bid.

Why not just use SAM.gov saved searches?

Saved searches send you everything. We filter to your trade and region, then rank each notice using award history that SAM.gov doesn't show you.

What does "possible incumbent" mean?

It's the company that most likely holds the current contract, matched on agency, state, trade and end date. It's an estimate, and we label it that way.

Do I need to be certified?

You need an active SAM.gov registration to bid. Each opportunity shows its set-aside type, so you can skip the ones you don't qualify for.
