What you get

Four things, in plain English.

  1. 01

    Winner and amount

    Awardee name, UEI, amount, date and awarding office, linked to the official USAspending or SAM.gov record.

  2. 02

    Comparable awards

    Recent awards under the same NAICS code, so you can see what winning looks like.

  3. 03

    FOIA request letter

    Ready to edit and send, asking for the contract file you can realistically get (the contract, statement of work and pricing, not the winner's proposal).

  4. 04

    Debrief request letter

    With the FAR 15.505 / 15.506 timing, if you bid.

How it works

How the winner lookup works

Award information for federal contracts is public, but it is scattered across SAM.gov award notices, USAspending and FPDS. Enter a solicitation number, SAM.gov notice ID or contract number and we pull the winner, the amount, the date and the agency into one place, with similar past awards for the same NAICS code so you can see what winning looks like.

We also draft the two letters most bidders never send: a FOIA request to the agency for the contract documents, and a debrief request to the contracting officer. We are honest about what you can realistically get. The winner's full proposal is almost always withheld, but the contract, statement of work, pricing and the proposal parts incorporated into the contract often are not.

  1. 1

    Enter an identifier

    A solicitation number, a 32-character SAM.gov notice ID, or a contract (PIID) number. We check our own SAM.gov data first.

  2. 2

    We search the award records

    If the award is not in our data we look it up on USAspending.gov and cache the answer. If no award has posted yet, we tell you and offer an alert.

  3. 3

    See the winner and comparable awards

    Winner name, UEI, amount, date, agency and a link to the official award record, plus recent awards for the same NAICS code.

  4. 4

    Send the right letters

    Edit and copy a FOIA request for the contract file and, if you bid, a debrief request letter with the FAR 15.506 timing.

Privacy

The identifier you search is used only to look up public award records. If you enter an email to unlock the letters we store it as a lead; marketing email is sent only if you opt in, and every message has an unsubscribe link. Details you type into the letter fields stay in your browser.

Fine print

Award data is compiled from public sources and may be incomplete or delayed. The letters are templates and general information, not legal advice. Confirm deadlines with the contracting officer or a government contracts attorney.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly

Something else? Write to [email protected]. A person answers.

Can I get the winning proposal through FOIA?
Almost never in full. Proposals submitted in a competition are generally withheld under FOIA Exemption 3 (10 U.S.C. 3309, 41 U.S.C. 4702 and FAR 24.202) unless they were incorporated into the contract, and agencies redact confidential commercial information under Exemption 4. What you can reasonably get is the contract, the statement of work, pricing and award documents, and any proposal sections incorporated into the contract, often with redactions.
How long does a FOIA request take?
The statute sets 20 business days for a determination, but in practice contract-file requests often take months, especially at large agencies. Narrow requests and plain, specific record descriptions move faster. Submit through the agency's FOIA office or the central portal at FOIA.gov.
Why can't you find my solicitation?
Awards post to public databases days to weeks after the decision, and USAspending only reflects contracts above reporting thresholds. Task orders, GSA Schedule orders and classified or delayed awards can be missing. If nothing has posted yet, check back or request an alert.
When can I request a debrief?
For negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, send a written request within three days of the award notice (FAR 15.506). GSA Schedule orders (FAR 8.405-2(d)) generally get only a brief explanation, and task or delivery orders over $6 million can get a fuller debrief (FAR 16.505(b)(6)). Protest clocks run separately: GAO protests are generally due within 10 days of when you knew the basis, and within 5 days of a required debriefing to keep an automatic stay. This is information, not legal advice.
Where does the data come from?
Our database of SAM.gov contract opportunities and award notices, our USAspending.gov awards history, and live USAspending.gov API lookups, which we cache. Always verify on the linked official record before relying on a figure.
Is this free?
Yes. The winner lookup is free. Enter your email to unlock the ready-to-send letters, and opt in if you want matched contract alerts.
