Show HN: GovConToday – Daily SAM.gov contract digest matched to your NAICS codes
watsoft Saturday, March 07, 2026
Hey HN, I built GovConToday (https://govcontoday.com) to solve a problem I kept hearing from small businesses chasing federal contracts: SAM.gov is painful to search daily.
GovConToday scans SAM.gov every morning, matches new and closing-soon opportunities to your NAICS codes and preferred states, and sends a digest email with AI-generated summaries and bid/no-bid scoring.
Free plan: 5 matched contracts/day with deadline tracking. Pro ($29/mo): 15 matches, AI scoring, weekly intelligence briefing, set-aside filtering.
Stack: Next.js 15, Supabase, Groq (Llama 3.1 8B for summaries), Resend for email. No Ollama/self-hosted anymore — moved to Groq after 60% timeout rates on a Mac Mini.
Curious to hear if anyone here does GovCon or knows people who do.
The space is dominated by expensive tools ($200-500/mo) that are overkill for small businesses.
