Leads for small businesses that sell to the government
Federal agencies post contract opportunities on SAM.gov every day, and a large share are set aside for small businesses. The problem is volume: thousands of notices a week. The federal contracts tool filters SAM.gov's public daily extract to your NAICS codes, set-asides and states and delivers the result as a spreadsheet each morning.
Teams that want to partner on public work in New York can also use the NYS Contractor Registry list to find registered contractors.
Why public records work for this
- Sources-sought notices let you respond before an RFP is written.
- Set-aside filters (8(a), WOSB, EDWOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB) cut the list to contracts you are eligible for.
- Grants.gov can be included for open federal grant opportunities.
Lists to start with
| List | Why it fits |
|---|---|
| Government contract leads list | SAM.gov opportunities and Grants.gov grants, filtered daily. |
| New York contractor leads list | Contractors registered for New York public work, for teaming. |
A simple weekly workflow
- List your NAICS codes and set-aside certifications.
- Run the federal contracts tool with those filters and your states.
- Schedule it daily and send results to email, Slack or a Google Sheet.
- Respond to sources-sought notices early to shape the requirement.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a SAM.gov account or API key?
No. The tool reads SAM.gov's public daily extract.
How is this different from SAM.gov saved searches?
SAM.gov saved searches send email alerts. This gives you a clean spreadsheet or API feed you can filter further, merge with other data and keep as a history.
