Vindor is a daily feed of federal contract opportunities for small contractors — the shops chasing federal work without a capture team.

It pulls SAM.gov and USASpending.gov on a schedule, normalises both, and matches every notice against your profile: NAICS codes, set-aside eligibility, keywords, agencies, geography and price band. What arrives each weekday morning is the day's matches ranked by fit, with the reasoning shown for every score.

The notice is the smallest part of what you need. Every match carries the award history joined to it — who holds that work today, what it went for last time, whether it is a re-bid, roughly what you would be up against, and how much of the response window is actually left. SAM notices and USASpending awards share no identifier, so that join is name-and-NAICS reconciliation between two systems that disagree about how agencies are spelled. Building it yourself is a year of work. That is what the subscription is for.

Alongside the daily digest: a recompete radar for active contracts coming up for re-bid 12 to 24 months out, Sources Sought notices so you are visible to contracting officers before an RFP is drafted, and task-order activity on the vehicles you hold, including buying that never reaches SAM.gov.

The matching is deterministic — ordinary rules and joins, no language model in the request path, which is part of why it costs $19.99 a month for an entire organisation rather than five figures per seat per year.

Data reaches Vindor through MakeGov's open-source Tango API. Vindor is a consumer of that project, not a partner of it. Every match traces back to a public record you can open yourself.

FPDS Query is a federal procurement intelligence platform for contractors, consultants, analysts, and business development teams that need faster access to public U.S. government contracting data.

The platform helps users analyze FPDS contract awards, SAM.gov opportunities, contractor records, GSA contract data, subcontract awards, assistance subawards, and exclusion records in one searchable environment.

FPDS Query can be used to identify agencies buying specific products or services, research incumbent contractors, analyze competitors, review NAICS and PSC market activity, track historical award patterns, connect active SAM.gov opportunities to past federal buying behavior, and support bid/no-bid research.

Typical use cases include federal market research, capture planning, competitor analysis, agency spending analysis, opportunity discovery, incumbent research, GSA contract research, and public procurement data analysis.
