HUBZone

Historically underutilised business zone

Plus 7,045 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.

Everything you get

The whole cycle, on every contract

Finding the notice is the part everyone does — it is public. This is the rest of the job.

Federal, state and local

We are not a SAM.gov reader — SAM is one source of many. State portals, plus cities, counties, school districts and universities. The map shows exactly how deep we go in your state.

Scored against your business

Every notice gets 0–100 against your codes, your states and the work you actually do — with the reasons written out and checkable against the notice itself, not a number you have to trust.

The solicitation documents, read for you

We open the attachments and pull out the scope, what you need to qualify, the conditions and every date — including whether the pre-bid meeting is mandatory. And you can put a question to the documents.

Priced from what the government actually paid

Not what the notice asks for: the award history under the same code, with real amounts, so your number starts from evidence instead of a guess.

Who won

The companies that won comparable contracts under the same code, with the agency, the amount and the date. Where a code has no history on file we say so, instead of showing zeros.

Recompetes

Multi-year contracts coming up for renewal, spotted well before the notice is published — the work starts long before the solicitation does.

Teaming

Partner matching for the work you can't take on alone — and only partners we actually hold a contact for.

The proposal, drafted

A proposal draft built from the solicitation and your profile, the compliance matrix, and the email to the contracting officer. You edit instead of starting from a blank page.

From found to won

The capture plan with its tasks, the deadlines on your calendar — exportable to .ics, which nobody else in this market does — and the bid followed through to its result.

Daily digest and instant alerts

A daily digest built around your profile, instant alerts on what can't wait, and a warning when a deadline moves. The product chases you, not the other way round.

In English and in Spanish

The whole product in English and Spanish — the feed, the emails, the PDFs and everything the AI writes. Not a translated home page.

Every tool in this market covers a slice of that list, and some cover their slice very well. Nobody else covers the whole cycle — that is what we built.

Do 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.
