Set-aside contracts
Contracts reserved for businesses like yours
4,301 of the 26,497 contracts open right now carry a set-aside — work that nobody without the certification is allowed to bid. Tell us which ones you hold and the feed enforces them, so you never spend a week on a bid you were never eligible to submit.

Plus 3,973 open contracts set aside for small business generally, which most certified firms also qualify for. These figures are not additive — a single contract can carry more than one restriction, so each row is counted on its own rather than summed.
A certification widens the pool. It does not do the work.
Eligibility, enforced in the feed
Every notice is scored 0–100 against your business, and what you are allowed to bid is part of that score — with the reason written out. No more discovering on day six that the contract was reserved for someone else.
The documents read, the price worked out
The mandatory pre-bid meeting buried on page 40 ends up in your plan. The price to beat comes from what the government actually paid on comparable awards.
Your proposal, drafted
From the solicitation itself, with the evaluation criteria in front of it. You edit and submit instead of starting from a blank page.

Start free — 7 daysDo I need a certification to bid on government contracts?
No. Any business with an active SAM.gov registration and a UEI can bid on open federal work. A certification does something different: it unlocks contracts that are reserved — nobody without it can compete for them. It widens the pool you can win, it is not a ticket to the door.
Which certification is worth pursuing?
The one that matches the work you already win. Chasing a certification for a category with little open work in your NAICS codes is months of paperwork for a pool that does not exist. The counts on this page are live, so you can check the pool before you commit to the process.
How do I find contracts reserved for my certification?
Tell YNTELRADAR which ones you hold and the feed enforces them. Every notice is scored 0–100 against your business with the reasons written out, and eligibility is one of them — so you never spend a week on a bid you were never allowed to submit.
Can I bid on an 8(a) contract without being 8(a)?
No. A set-aside is a legal restriction on who may submit, not a preference. This is exactly the mistake that costs small firms whole weeks, and it is the reason eligibility is part of the score rather than a footnote.
