Samradar

What Samradar does

SAMradar (SAMradar LLC) is a SaaS-based federal contracting intelligence platform headquartered at 10033 Davis Avenue, Woodstock, Maryland. The company continuously monitors SAM.gov and FPDS.gov — including the contract modifications, IDIQ orders, GWAC task orders, and BPA calls that constitute the roughly 98% of federal procurement activity that never appears as public solicitations — and delivers customized alerts to subscribers via email and SMS within minutes of posting. Each alert bundles NAICS/PSC-coded opportunity data with federal buyer contact details and prime contractor contact details plus 1- and 5-year history, plus a library of pre-built engagement templates and a competitor/UEI tracking system. Subscribers also receive access to a recurring Monday Roundtable peer advisory community, monthly account reviews with human support, Federal Advisor meetings, free downloadable Federal Spending Reports, and a Winnable Opportunity Matrix scoring framework.

The product is sold via a self-serve website funnel with a 7-day free trial converting to a $349/month Professional subscription, alongside a discounted $314.10/month Federal Business Council (FBC) partner tier and one-off paid special briefings priced at $199 for non-members. Customer segments are horizontal within the federal contractor long tail — primarily small and mid-market companies (including set-aside-certified businesses) seeking direct federal awards, plus primes and subcontractors pursuing teaming opportunities — and the platform is bundled with a 2-year 1000% (10X) ROI Guarantee that conditions the guarantee on retention, template-driven outreach volume, and community participation. The company was founded by Dave Lowe, who also serves as CEO of the affiliated federal consulting firm isiFederal, and operates as a privately held LLC with no disclosed institutional funding, no public revenue or headcount figures, and a single named C-suite executive; it pursues an event-driven, community-led, and product-led growth motion anchored by FBC co-marketing, founder speaking engagements (e.g., the Annual Government Procurement Conference), and gated spending-report content.

Broad incumbents

• Deltek (GovWin): Deltek's GovWin is the most established federal contract intelligence platform, offering opportunity tracking, agency forecasts, and buyer data to government contractors. It targets a similar buyer (federal contractors, primes, subs) with overlapping functionality, but as part of a much broader project-based ERP/CRM portfolio for government contractors.

Direct peers

• GovTribe: GovTribe is a federal contract intelligence platform that aggregates award data, opportunity data, and vendor profiles to help contractors identify and pursue federal work. It competes head-to-head with SAMradar on real-time monitoring and contact discovery for federal contractors.
• Government Contracts and Proposals (GovWin IQ / INPUT): GovWin IQ (Deltek) is a long-standing federal market intelligence subscription that helps contractors track opportunities, forecast spending, and analyze competitors. It is one of the most direct competitors to SAMradar's alert-and-contact core use case, typically sold at higher enterprise price points.
• Onvia: Onvia (now part of Deltek) historically operated a government contracting intelligence platform tracking bids, awards, and agency spending across federal, state, and local levels. It is a functional peer to SAMradar in pre-RFP visibility and procurement intelligence for government contractors.
• Bloomberg Government: Bloomberg Government delivers federal contract opportunity data, spending analysis, and legislative tracking to government contractors and policy professionals. It overlaps directly with SAMradar's monitoring, analytics, and federal-market intelligence value proposition for a similar subscription-paying audience.
• HigherGov: HigherGov provides federal, state, and local contract opportunity data, award history, and contact information to government contractors. It is a direct functional peer to SAMradar in the federal opportunity monitoring and buyer-intelligence category, with similar subscription pricing and SMB target market.

Emerging players

• Fedmine: Fedmine is an emerging federal contracting intelligence platform offering opportunity tracking, contact data, and AI-driven bid/no-bid analysis. It targets the same SMB federal contractor audience as SAMradar with overlapping alert and contact features, positioning itself as a more analytics-forward challenger.
• Federal Compass: Federal Compass provides federal contract opportunity data, award tracking, and agency-level analytics geared toward small and mid-sized government contractors. It is a smaller-scale but functionally comparable peer to SAMradar in the federal opportunity monitoring category.

Others

• SAM.gov (US Government): SAM.gov is the official U.S. government source for contract opportunities, award data, and entity registrations. While not a paid competitor, it is the underlying data source SAMradar monitors against and the primary free alternative that defines the platform's value proposition around the 'other 98%.'
• USAspending.gov: USAspending.gov is the official public database of federal spending and awards. It is an adjacent free resource that overlaps with SAMradar's spending-report features and helps define the bar SAMradar must clear to justify its subscription pricing.
