Question 1

Which NAICS codes does this search cover?

Accepted Answer

Four federal IT NAICS codes: 541512 (Computer Systems Design), 541519 (Other Computer Related Services — cybersecurity), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming), and 511210 (Software Publishers). Pick one from the dropdown to narrow the live SAM.gov pull to that category.

Question 2

Do I need to sign up to search SAM.gov contracts?

Accepted Answer

No. The /search tool is open to every visitor — no account, no signup. You can run real keyword + NAICS queries and view live opportunities straight from SAM.gov.

Question 3

How fresh is the contract data?

Accepted Answer

Each search hits the SAM.gov public Opportunities API live. Results reflect the opportunities currently active on SAM.gov at the time of your query — no caching, no stale snapshots.

Question 4

What can I do with the results?

Accepted Answer

Each row links directly to the opportunity on SAM.gov, including the agency, NAICS code, response deadline, estimated value, and solicitation number when supplied. Sign up for Bidz.pro to also generate AI-assisted proposal drafts, match the contract against your company profile, and save it to your dashboard.

Question 5

How is this different from searching SAM.gov directly?

Accepted Answer

SAM.gov search is keyword-only and shows unfiltered results. The Bidz.pro /search tool pre-filters to the four federal IT NAICS codes IT and cybersecurity small businesses actually need, fetches live active opportunities, and applies a fast OR-substring keyword filter across title, description, solicitation number, and agency.
