SAM.gov Hunter - Find & win government contracts with AI — from $0/mo

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm James, the solo founder of SAM.gov Hunter. I built this after watching small government contractors get priced out of their own market. The tools that actually help you find and win federal work — GovWin IQ, Bloomberg Government — run roughly $15,000–$30,000 a year. For a 5-person shop, that's not a tool, it's a second salary. So most small businesses do it the hard way: manually refreshing SAM.gov, checking 50 separate state portals, and guessing which solicitations are even worth a bid. SAM.gov Hunter is the AI-native alternative. It pulls federal (SAM.gov) and all-50-state opportunities into one search, scores how well each one fits YOUR company, then does the slow parts for you: it reads the solicitation, extracts the requirements, builds an L/M/I compliance matrix, and drafts a submission-ready proposal you edit and price. There's a real free tier (no credit card), and paid plans start at $99/mo — versus ~$29K/yr for the incumbents. I'm a developer, not a salesperson, so I'd genuinely love this community's eyes on it. Two things I'm wrestling with: 1) GovCon folks — what's the single most painful part of your bid process today? (For me it was always the compliance matrix.) 2) Builders — where would AI add the most leverage next: pricing strategy, past-performance matching, or teaming/subcontractor discovery? Happy to answer anything about how it works, the data sources, or the AI. Thank you for taking a look. 🙏
