Frequently Asked Questions
Does Contract Opportunities cover Sam.gov and state procurement portals?
Contract Opportunities aggregates from SAM.gov (federal solicitations), and covers major state procurement portals including BidSync, DemandStar, and many state-specific eProcurement systems. Coverage for local government solicitations varies by municipality.
Can Company Lookup verify SAM.gov registrations?
Company Lookup verifies business registration in state corporate registries and some federal databases. For SAM.gov registration status specifically, you should also check SAM.gov directly — Company Lookup can confirm the entity's legal existence and structure, which you then cross-reference with the vendor's SAM.gov registration claims.
How thorough is the Compliance Screening for government debarment?
Compliance Screening checks OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals list, EU consolidated sanctions list, and UN sanctions lists. For SAM.gov exclusions (debarment), the tool queries the System for Award Management exclusions database. For EPLS historical records, supplement with a direct SAM.gov search. Results are returned with match confidence scores to help distinguish true matches from false positives.
Can Government Spending help me establish fair and reasonable price?
Yes. Government Spending queries USASpending.gov for historical contract award data including vendor, amount, description, and period of performance. You can find comparable awards for similar scopes of work, which supports your price reasonableness determination. This is especially useful when commercial price lists are unavailable.
How do I use these tools to research small business set-aside requirements?
Contract Opportunities lets you filter by set-aside type (8(a), WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB). Government Spending shows historical set-aside award percentages by category so you can assess if your agency meets its small business goals. Deep Research can compile FAR/SBA policy requirements for specific set-aside programs.
