SAM.gov posts hundreds of notices a day. You need about five.

Federal agencies posted more than 6,000 new notices on SAM.gov in a single week (our count from SAM.gov's public data, October 2026). Saved-search emails mix real solicitations with amendments, award notices and noise, and keyword matching misses work described in words you didn't think to search for.

And when an alert fails, the risk is yours. In 2023 an incumbent veteran-owned ambulance company missed the VA's re-compete of its own contract. It said it never received the automated SAM.gov notice. The Government Accountability Office dismissed its protest anyway, because the solicitation had been properly posted on SAM.gov. (GAO decision B-421948)

SunriseBids doesn't change the rule that you're responsible for what's on SAM.gov. It makes keeping up realistic for a small team.

Ranked for your business, not your keywords

Tell us your NAICS codes, set-aside status and the states you work in, or give us your website and we'll suggest them. Each new notice gets a 0–100 fit score and the reasons behind it, such as "8(a) set-aside, and you're not 8(a)" or "matches your janitorial NAICS, in your state, due in 12 days."

Five minutes over coffee

The best matches first, the set-aside spelled out in plain English, a due-date countdown, and a link straight to the official notice on SAM.gov.

Keep track of the ones you want

Follow an opportunity and we'll email you 7, 3 and 1 day before it's due. Tell us which matches were useful with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down.

Honest about limits

We process SAM.gov's public data daily. Not every federal purchase is posted there, and AI scores can be wrong. Treat the score as a way to sort your reading, not as a decision.

How it works

Build your profile in about two minutes. Enter your NAICS codes or your website, and we suggest codes and keywords. Confirm your set-asides and the states you work in.

Questions

Is SunriseBids part of SAM.gov or the government?

No. SunriseBids is an independent private service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official site of the U.S. Government, GSA or SAM.gov. SAM.gov itself, including registration, is free at sam.gov, and it remains the official source. Always check the notice there before you bid.

How does the AI ranking work? Can it be wrong?

First we filter out notices you clearly can't use, such as the wrong set-aside or expired deadlines. Then an AI model (Anthropic's Claude) reads each remaining notice next to your profile and gives a score with reasons. It can be wrong: it may miss a requirement or misread a notice.

Does SunriseBids tell me whether I'm eligible for a set-aside?

No. We filter by the set-asides you tell us you qualify for. Eligibility and size status are your responsibility and are decided by the government. The SBA and your local APEX Accelerator (free counseling) can help.

What do you do with my data?

We store your email, your business profile and how you use SunriseBids, only to run the service. We don't sell it and we don't use ad trackers. Details in our Privacy Policy and Security page.
