SAM.GOV OPPORTUNITY SEARCH
Turn SAM.gov Opportunity Search into a Qualified Capture Pipeline
CaptureIQ helps GovCon teams scan SAM.gov opportunities, apply keyword and eligibility rules, score capability fit, and move approved pursuits into a governed capture workflow. CaptureIQ uses public federal opportunity data and does not represent or replace SAM.gov.
SAM.gov search is only the beginning
Finding a notice is not the same as deciding to pursue it. Teams that stop at keyword search often over-pursue mismatched set-asides, miss exclude terms, or lose track of why a notice was shortlisted.
CaptureIQ treats SAM.gov ingest as stage one of a capture pipeline: rules gate, fit scoring, market context, packet build, and a decision ledger with named human approvals.
Ingesting opportunities and attachments
Opportunities are ingested and normalized into your tenant catalog with notice identity, agency, NAICS, PSC, set-aside, and deadline fields. Where attachments are available to the workflow, they feed qualification and packet preparation rather than living only in a browser download folder.
Include and exclude keyword rules
Deterministic include and exclude keyword rules run before model scoring so obvious mismatches never consume AI budget. Rule outcomes remain visible so capture managers can adjust gates without guessing.
Eligibility and set-aside checks
Eligibility and set-aside screening helps teams avoid pursuits they cannot bid. Rules are decision support for your company profile - final eligibility judgment still belongs to your capture and contracts leads.
Capability-statement fit scoring
After rules pass, AI-assisted scoring compares the opportunity narrative to your capability statement and related company materials. The output is an explainable fit signal for human go/no-go review - not a prediction of award.
Pass/fail reasons and review exceptions
Each gated opportunity carries pass/fail reasons so reviewers can reopen exceptions without rebuilding the search from scratch. That keeps the shortlist auditable when leadership asks why a notice advanced.
Moving approved opportunities into packet creation
Qualified pursuits can move into packet generation for review-ready response materials. Packet work stays tied to the same opportunity record that passed the gate.
Audit trail and named human decisions
Bid/no-bid and review actions land in the decision ledger with attribution. CaptureIQ does not automatically submit proposals to SAM.gov.
Frequently asked questions
Does CaptureIQ replace SAM.gov?
No. CaptureIQ consumes public opportunity data to support capture workflows. Official posting, registration, and submission remain on SAM.gov and agency systems.
Can we use our own SAM.gov API key?
Organizations can use configured SAM access according to their CaptureIQ tenant setup. Shared catalog modes are also supported for teams without a dedicated key.
Are fit scores guarantees?
No. Fit scores are decision support. Humans remain responsible for pursuit decisions.
