Common questions
What data sources are included in GovCon Radar?
SAM.gov (active contract opportunities, vendor registrations), USAspending.gov (federal spending by agency, vendor, NAICS code), SBIR/STTR (small business innovation awards), Congress.gov (bills, committees, legislators), and the Federal Register (rules, notices, proposed regulations). Covers opportunity discovery, vendor research, and legislative tracking.
Can I find open contract opportunities filtered by NAICS or set-aside?
Yes. The SAM.gov tools accept NAICS codes, set-aside types (small business, 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB), agency, place of performance, and posting date range. An agent can ask "find open cybersecurity contracts over $1M with a small-business set-aside" and get a filtered list with response deadlines and points of contact.
How do I research who has won similar contracts in the past?
USAspending.gov tools surface obligations by agency, vendor, NAICS code, and time period. An agent can ask "who are the top contractors for DoD cybersecurity work in the last 3 years" and get a ranked vendor list with total obligations, contract counts, and award histories.
Are SBIR/STTR awards searchable?
Yes — the SBIR pack indexes awards across all participating federal agencies (DoD, NIH, NSF, DOE, etc.) by topic, agency, phase, company, and year. Useful for tracking emerging technology areas and identifying potential partners or competitors with prior federal funding.
