For small business

Government contracts for small business

The federal government reserves a large share of its buying for small business, and thousands of those contracts are open at any moment. The hard part isn't finding them — it's that almost none of them are for you, and you can't tell which without reading. YNTELRADAR scores every opportunity against your NAICS codes, your certifications, the contract sizes you can execute and where you can work, and hands you the few that survive — with the reason each one matched.

And the set-asides are only the federal half of it: we cover state and local work too — cities, counties, school districts and universities. Nothing in the product is capped by your size. The same full cycle runs for a two-person shop and for a company with a hundred employees; what changes is which contracts you can bid, and that is the law's decision, not ours.

NAICS codes seen

Counted from our own database when this page was last built, not from a marketing deck. “Open” means the response deadline hasn’t passed — the same definition the product uses.

Set-asides are the whole advantage

On a set-aside contract, only businesses holding that status can bid. The pool goes from hundreds to a handful — it's the difference between a lottery and a real shot. And you can hold more than one status at a time. Most small contractors don't claim everything they already qualify for.

Small Business Set-Aside

Any business under the SBA size standard for its NAICS code. The widest door, and the one most people already qualify for without claiming it.

8(a) Business Development

Socially and economically disadvantaged owners. A nine-year programme, and contracts can be awarded sole-source.

SDVOSB

Service-disabled veteran-owned. Federal agencies carry a specific spending goal for it.

WOSB / EDWOSB

Woman-owned, in industries where women are underrepresented — the eligible NAICS list is specific, so check yours.

HUBZone

Businesses based in a historically underutilised business zone, with employees living there. The hardest to qualify for and the least competed.

We filter on the statuses you tell us you hold. We don't certify you and we can't verify a certification — that's SBA's job, and the eligibility rules are theirs, not ours.

The four things that actually stop people

An expired SAM.gov registration

It lapses every 12 months and nobody tells you. An expired registration makes you ineligible for award, and most people find out by losing a bid they'd already written.

The registration guide

Too many NAICS codes

Most businesses picked twelve aspirational codes when they registered. Three accurate ones produce a feed you'll actually read; twelve produce noise you'll start ignoring in week two.

Pick your codes

The amendment nobody read

An agency moves the response date up nine days in an amendment. It's the single most common way a good bid never gets submitted.

Amendment tracking

Bidding without knowing the price

Too high and you're out on cost; too low and you win something you can't deliver profitably. Award history tells you what this agency has actually paid.

Award history

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.

What this normally costs

AI scoring, one-line summaries and amendment tracking are included on our $39/month plan — $392 a year. Enterprise contract-intelligence platforms are sold on annual contracts in the $12,000–$42,000 range (category pricing from public materials, 2025–2026). On price, that is at least 24× — and we don't require an annual contract.

We compare by category and never by name — that is how we work. What nobody else does is the whole cycle: scored against your business, documents read for you, priced against what the government actually paid, proposal drafted, and walked step by step to won. In two languages. The price is the last argument, not the first — and it is a number you can check against our own checkout.

What we don't promise

We don't guarantee you'll win, and anyone who does is selling you something. We find the opportunity and hand you the contact, the requirements, the dates and the documents. Your pricing, your past performance and your proposal decide the award, and that part is yours. We also don't give you exclusivity: if a competitor uses YNTELRADAR too, they see the same contract at the same moment.

Built for what your company actually does
