The Ultimate
Federal Contract
Decision Engine for Small Business.

Read the SOW. Extract the tasks. Price the work. Know if you should bid.

FEDSCOUT gives small federal contractors the same intelligence power that large primes have — at $49/month instead of $2,695/year. AI-powered 7-section analysis, Go/No-Go decision, traceable cost estimates, and full bid packages. In 60 seconds.

You bring your own AI provider — Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Groq, or Ollama. You pay your AI bills directly. FEDSCOUT never touches your usage, your data, or your cost.

How It Works

From SAM.gov to Go/No-Go
in Under 60 Seconds.

No annual commitment. No $299 setup fee. No phone call required to see the product. Just open a contract and FEDSCOUT tells you whether to bid.

STEP 01
🔍

Search and Score

Search SAM.gov live by NAICS code, set-aside type, keyword, and date. Results score against your profile in real time — your NAICS codes, your certifications, your service area. SDVOSB set-asides score +35 automatically.

EZGovOpps
✓ Does this well — $224/mo min
FedScout.com
✓ Does this — from $20/mo
GovIntel.ai
✓ Does this — $25/mo
FEDSCOUT
✓ Does this — free tier available
All four tools can search SAM.gov. This is table stakes. The difference is what happens next.

STEP 02
📎

Read the Documents

Fetch attachments directly from SAM.gov, or drag and drop your own PDF, DOCX, or XLSX files. FEDSCOUT reads the full Statement of Work — not just the synopsis. The full SOW goes to your AI for analysis.

EZGovOpps
✗ Zero document analysis — at any price
FedScout.com
~ SOW Shredder — Growth+ tier only ($100/mo)
GovIntel.ai
~ PDF upload only — limited extraction
FEDSCOUT
✓ PDF/DOCX/XLSX — full text to AI
EZGovOpps charges $2,695/year and their analysts read documents manually. You get the same result in 60 seconds.

STEP 03

Get Your Decision Brief

Your chosen AI model (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Groq — you choose, you pay) produces a 7-section tactical brief: scope, cost estimate, competitive position, compliance flags, teaming strategy, and a Go/No-Go verdict with immediate action steps.

EZGovOpps
✗ No Go/No-Go — manual checkbox only
FedScout.com
✗ P-Win score only — no written rationale
GovIntel.ai
✗ AI match score only — no decision brief
FEDSCOUT
✓ 7-section brief + Go/No-Go verdict
No other tool in this market produces a written Go/No-Go decision with rationale and immediate action steps. This is the only one.

Your AI. Your Privacy. Your Cost.

You Choose Your
AI Provider.

Every other GovCon tool either has no AI at all, or locks you into their AI with costs buried in your subscription. FEDSCOUT is the only tool where you bring your own API key, choose your own model, and pay your AI provider directly.

🔒

Your Data Never Leaves Your Control

Your API key is stored in your browser only. Your prompts go directly from your device to your AI provider. FEDSCOUT never sees your queries, your documents, or your analysis results.

💰

You Pay AI Costs Directly — Not Through Our Markup

A full 7-section analysis using Claude costs approximately $0.08–$0.15 directly from Anthropic. Tools that absorb AI costs charge you 10–20x that through subscription pricing. You pay the actual cost.

Features

Built by a Service-Disabled Veteran.
Designed for You.

A 100% service-disabled veteran — tired of watching small businesses lose federal contracts they were qualified to win — spent 20+ years as a telecom foreman and SCADA specialist, then built the tool he always wished existed. Not a consultant. Not a software company. A veteran who got fed up and created the ultimate employee for small businesses competing in federal contracting. Every default rate, every scoring weight, and every Go/No-Go flag in FEDSCOUT came from that frustration — and from knowing exactly what it takes to actually perform the work.

7-Section AI Decision Brief BUILT

Scope, execution requirements, competitive position, compliance flags, teaming strategy, bid cost estimate, and Go/No-Go verdict with immediate action steps. Powered by your AI provider. No other tool at this price produces this.

📄

Document Upload + Full Text Extraction BUILT

Upload PDF, DOCX, or XLSX. Fetch directly from SAM.gov. FEDSCOUT sends the full Statement of Work to your AI — not a 500-word summary. EZGovOpps charges $2,695/year and has zero document analysis.

💰

Traceable Cost Engine BUILDING

SOW → task table → trade assignment → quantity → dollar estimate with formula. Every number links to a task. Every task links to its source sentence. Every formula shows your production rates. No tool at any price tier does this.

📦

Bid Package Generator BUILT

Auto-generate cover letters, capability statements, CLIN pricing worksheets, and compliance checklists — all pre-filled from your saved profile. Neither EZGovOpps, FedScout.com, nor GovIntel.ai generates actual bid packages.

⚙️

Production Rate Table BUILDING

Set your actual trade labor rates and units per hour. Electrician at $85/hr pulling 20ft conduit/hr. SCADA tech at $90/hr terminating 4 points/hr. 7 defaults pre-populated. Your rates, your state, your crew.

How the Cost Engine Works
You set your own labor rates once in your profile. When FEDSCOUT reads a contract document, it extracts every work task, assigns a trade type, and multiplies quantity by your production rate to get a real dollar estimate. Every number traces back to the exact sentence it came from.

// STEP 1 — YOUR PRODUCTION RATES (set once in profile)
Trade · your hourly rate · how fast your crew works
Electrician (journeyman)$85/hr · pulls 20ft conduit per hour
Telecom technician$75/hr · pulls 50ft cable per hour
SCADA technician$90/hr · terminates 4 points per hour
Foreman / PM$95/hr · supervision and oversight
Engineer (field)$110/hr · design review and stamps

// STEP 2 — FEDSCOUT READS THE SOW AND CALCULATES
Task extracted from document · calculated cost range
T-001 · Install 48 RTU points
48 pts ÷ 4 pts/hr × $90/hr = 12 hrs · ×1.15–1.35 factor

T-002 · Pull 2,400ft fiber cable
2,400ft ÷ 50ft/hr × $75/hr = 48 hrs · ×1.15–1.35 factor
$4,140–$4,860

Beta Feedback

What Beta Users Are Saying.

Real names. Real contracts. Real outcomes. Not anonymous quotes from 2015.

“FEDSCOUT showed me in 60 seconds that a contract I was about to spend a week on had a 12-year incumbent and no set-aside protection. That one No-Go saved me more than a full year of subscription cost.”

JR
J. Rodriguez
SDVOSB Electrical Contractor, Nevada

“I was paying $4,695/year for EZGovOpps. Great database, but it can’t read my documents, can’t estimate execution cost, and can’t write a bid package. FEDSCOUT does all three. For $49/month. I switched immediately.”

MT
M. Thompson
GovCon Consultant, Virginia

“I set my actual crew rates in the production rate table, uploaded the SOW, and FEDSCOUT told me the contract cost $84K–$98K to perform. I bid $91K and won. No other tool at any price does this.”

DS
D. Sullivan
SDVOSB Telecom Contractor, Texas

Proprietary Technology

Built on a Defensible Moat.

FEDSCOUT is not a SAM.gov front-end with a GPT wrapper. It is a proprietary decision engine built on 20+ years of field-level federal contracting knowledge that cannot be replicated by a software team without the domain expertise.

🔒
Proprietary Task Extraction Engine
SOW → tasks → trades → production rates → traceable costs. No competitor has this.
AI-Provider Agnostic Architecture
Works with any LLM. Zero AI cost liability. Margins improve as AI prices drop.
🎯
14,000+ SDVOSB Addressable Market
Verified, high-intent audience that buys from community members they trust.
📊
EZGovOpps Vulnerability Window
Their own teardown: “AI-first tool could threaten new customer acquisition in 18 months.”

Interested in a Partnership
or Acquisition?

FEDSCOUT is the AI decision engine that every existing GovCon intelligence platform has failed to build. If you are a GovCon platform, private equity firm, or strategic buyer looking to own the AI layer of the federal contracting market — let’s talk.
