Track Government Contracts Before the Deadline Passes
Point MightyWatcher at a SAM.gov search or any procurement portal, describe the contracts you're looking for in plain English, and get notified when new opportunities are posted.
What Is Government Contract Monitoring?
Government contract monitoring means automatically watching procurement portals for new contract opportunities that match your business capabilities. The federal government alone awards over $700 billion in contracts annually, and state and local governments add hundreds of billions more. These opportunities are posted on SAM.gov, state procurement websites, and agency-specific portals — but they come and go quickly, with response deadlines often measured in days or weeks. The companies that win government contracts are the ones that find opportunities early and have maximum time to prepare their proposals. MightyWatcher monitors procurement search pages on your schedule, uses AI to read the listings, and alerts you when new contracts matching your criteria appear. You describe what you're looking for in plain English — "software development contracts over $50K," "small business set-aside IT opportunities," "construction projects in Virginia" — and the AI evaluates each new listing against your criteria.

What People Track with Contract Posting Alerts
Popular ways government contractors find opportunities
Federal IT Contracting
Monitor SAM.gov for new IT and software development contract opportunities. Get alerted when RFPs, RFIs, and sources sought notices matching your NAICS codes or keywords are posted, giving you maximum time to prepare proposals.
Defense & Military Contracts
Track defense procurement portals for new contract opportunities. Defense contracts often have short response windows, and the companies that win are the ones that find opportunities first and start preparing immediately.
State & Local Government Contracts
Monitor state procurement websites and municipal bid boards for contracts in your area. Many small and mid-size businesses focus on state and local contracts, where competition is lower and relationships matter more.
Construction & Infrastructure Projects
Watch government procurement sites for construction, infrastructure, and public works contracts. Get notified when projects matching your trade, location, or certification requirements are posted.
Win More Government Contracts by Finding Them First
In government contracting, timing is everything. A solicitation posted on Monday might have a response deadline the following Friday. The contractors who win are the ones who find opportunities early, giving them maximum time to assemble their team, write a compelling proposal, and gather the required documentation. Manually checking SAM.gov and state procurement portals every day is tedious and unreliable — it's easy to miss a posting when you're busy running your business. Dedicated GovCon platforms like GovWin, Bloomberg Government, and Deltek solve this problem but cost hundreds or thousands per month, pricing out small businesses and individual contractors. MightyWatcher offers a cost-effective alternative. You set up watchers on the procurement search pages that matter — filtered by your NAICS codes, keywords, set-aside types, and location — and MightyWatcher checks them twice a day. The AI reads the search results and alerts you when new contracts matching your criteria appear. It's not a full GovCon platform, but for the core task of "tell me when new opportunities are posted," it delivers the same value at a fraction of the cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about tracking government contract postings
How does MightyWatcher track government contracts?
You paste the link to a government procurement search results page — like a SAM.gov search filtered to your industry — and describe what to watch for. MightyWatcher visits the page on your schedule, captures a screenshot, and uses AI to read the listings. When new contracts matching your criteria appear, you get notified.
Does it work on SAM.gov?
Yes. Set up a SAM.gov search with your desired filters (NAICS codes, keywords, set-aside types, location), copy the search results URL, and paste it into MightyWatcher. It will check that search results page on your schedule and alert you when new opportunities appear.
Can I filter by contract type, size, or set-aside?
Yes, in two ways. First, you can use the procurement portal's own filters in the URL (most sites support filtered search URLs). Second, you can add conditions in your prompt: "alert me about contracts over $50K," "notify me about small business set-asides only," or "watch for fixed-price contracts in software development."
How often should I check for new contracts?
For active bidders, checking every 12 hours is recommended. Government contracts often have tight response deadlines, and finding an opportunity a day earlier can make the difference between a polished proposal and a rushed one. Each check uses a small amount of credits.
Can I monitor multiple procurement portals at once?
Yes. Create a separate watcher for each procurement portal or search page you want to monitor. Each runs independently on its own schedule. The Free plan includes 3 watchers, and paid plans support more.
How is this different from paid GovCon tools?
Dedicated government contracting platforms like GovWin, Bloomberg Government, and Deltek cost hundreds to thousands per month and offer comprehensive databases, analytics, and CRM features. MightyWatcher is a lightweight monitoring tool that alerts you to new postings on specific pages. It's ideal for businesses that want contract alerts without the overhead of a full GovCon platform.
What does it cost?
MightyWatcher has a free plan with 3 watchers and 50 credits per month. Each page check uses roughly 5-20 credits depending on page size. Paid plans start at $8/month with more watchers and credits. Top-up credit packs are available and never expire.
Can I track subcontracting opportunities?
Yes, if the subcontracting opportunities are listed on a public webpage. Some prime contractors post subcontracting opportunities on their own sites, and platforms like SubNet on SBA.gov list subcontracting leads. Point MightyWatcher at the relevant page and set your conditions.
