SAME OPPORTUNITY · BEFORE → AFTER
From a wall of government PDFs to a card you can act on
A SAM.gov saved search returns every notice that matches a keyword — you still open each one, dig through the PDF attachments, and judge it cold. Left: a federal opportunity as SAM.gov posts it. Right: the same opportunity in your Weekly Fit Report — scored, sourced, dealbreakers pulled out. Illustrative

SEVEN FACILITY-SERVICES NICHES LIVE — BUILT TO EXPAND
One engine for federal facility-services contracts.
We cover federal contracts in seven facility-services niches — janitorial, grounds, pest control, building maintenance, waste, security & guard, and HVAC & mechanical. Not state/local, and not every geography.
Live today — scored against real sources
Early lens — in the app, not yet called live
Each live niche is scored using SAM.gov data and other federal sources. Snow & Ice Removal is available in the app as an early lens while we validate its coverage — we'll call it live when the numbers earn it.
We read what a SAM.gov search can't
The facts that actually decide a bid usually aren't in the notice — they're buried in the PDF attachments: the Performance Work Statement, the wage determination, the site-visit notice. A keyword search can't see inside those documents. TheBidScout reads the attachments and pulls the bid-deciding facts into your report — each one linked back to its source.
- Mandatory site visits — the date, and whether missing it makes your bid non-responsive.
- SCA wage determinations — labor priced to the county prevailing wage, not your commercial rate.
- Licenses, bonding & certifications — the requirements that quietly disqualify you.
- Set-asides, place of performance & deadlines — extracted, normalized, and scored for fit.
We fight for every field and every value — chasing each one through the attachments until it's a real answer, not a blank. On the rare item the documents simply won't give up, we tell you straight rather than guess. We'd rather earn the answer than settle for Unknown.

Every Monday: your Weekly Fit Report
We sync the notices every day. Every Monday your report is ready in your account and an email names your top matches — Starter keeps the full ranked list behind that link, not just the top 5. Set-asides, licenses, bonding and service area refine your score from your account whenever you like — instantly on Starter.
We show our work
Every score, in plain sight — the components, the sources, and every field we fought to fill.
- Every fit score comes with its components, reasons, risks, and dealbreakers — the whole picture, not a bare number.
- Every important field — deadline, set-aside, requirements — links to its source.
- We chase every field down to a real answer — surfacing what the documents say, flagging conflicts, and marking a genuine gap rather than guessing at it.
- We rank what's worth reviewing and flag dealbreakers — you decide, write, and submit. We never predict wins.

Questions
Which contracts does TheBidScout cover?
Today, federal facility-services opportunities across seven niches — Janitorial (NAICS 561720, PSC S201/S299), Landscaping & Grounds (561730, S208), Pest Control (561710, S207), Waste Management (562111, 562119, S205), Building Maintenance (561210, 561790, S216/S218), Security & Guard (561612, S206), and HVAC & Mechanical (238220, J041/J045) — using SAM.gov data and other federal sources. We add categories deliberately, getting excellent at each before the next. Snow & Ice Removal is available in the app as an early lens while we validate its coverage — we'll call it live when the numbers earn it.
Couldn't I just save a search on SAM.gov?
You can — SAM.gov is free, and it's the official source. The difference is what comes back. A saved search returns every notice that matches a keyword, and you still open each one, dig through the PDF attachments for the requirements and dealbreakers, and judge it cold. TheBidScout ranks those same notices by fit to your business, pulls the buried requirements out of the documents, and shows an explainable score — then links every fact back to the official notice so you can verify. We don't replace SAM.gov; we triage it.
Does TheBidScout write or submit bids for me?
No. TheBidScout helps you decide which opportunities are worth your time and shows you why. You — or your team — write and submit. We never auto-submit, predict wins, or guarantee eligibility.
How do you score "fit"?
An explainable, versioned score across six components — capability (25 points), geography (20), set-aside match (15), deadline feasibility (10), requirement compatibility (10), and profile completeness (5) — shown with its reasons, risks, and dealbreakers. A component the documents don't let us assess is left out of the denominator, never guessed. A hard dealbreaker changes the recommendation, not the number. The official solicitation always controls; verify before acting.
How do I get started?
Sign up and your first report — a preview of your top matches — builds right after setup. The full ranked Weekly Fit Report, every Monday, is Starter.
