SAM.gov alerts and personalized opportunity matching

Use SAM.gov for the authoritative notice

SAM.gov provides the official federal opportunity search and the notices agencies publish. Explore its current saved-search, following, and notification features in your SAM.gov account; availability and behavior should be checked in the official help documentation.

You do not need GovShark to access publicly available SAM.gov notices. A third-party subscription does not replace government registration or give preferential access to a procurement.

• Use SAM.gov's official opportunity search
• Read current SAM.gov help

Use GovShark to reduce the daily review effort

GovShark uses your saved business profile, selected trades and states, and applicable preferences to produce a matched list from supported sources. Its subscriber experience centers on one short morning email.

You can preview results, update your preferences, and hide opportunities you do not want to see again. This is a different review workflow—not a claim that GovShark finds every notice or outperforms every search method.

Choose based on how you work

A useful test is whether the results consistently fit your capabilities and available time. Do not judge a search tool only by the number of opportunities it returns.

• If you need direct control over a detailed one-off search, work in the official portal.
• If you want a recurring morning starting point, a matched email may reduce repetitive searching.
• If you are preparing a bid, use the current source documents regardless of how you found the opportunity.

Understand the planned price

GovShark's planned commercial price is $6.99 per user per month. Paid checkout is not live yet. This is a proposed charge for the matching and email service, not a fee charged by SAM.gov for access to public notices.
