Scattered by design
SAM.gov covers federal. Every state runs its own. Counties, cities, school districts and special districts each post wherever they please — a PDF on a city clerk’s page is still a legally valid solicitation.

connecting you to government contracts.
Municipal, state, and federal opportunities — aggregated into one place, and matched to what your business can actually win.
The problem
Public money is everywhere.
Finding it is the hard part.
The United States buys goods and services through tens of thousands of independent purchasing authorities. Each runs its own portal, its own forms, its own notice format, its own deadline calendar. There is no front door.

Found too late to bid
Response windows are short. By the time a fitting solicitation surfaces through a weekly digest or a word-of-mouth tip, the runway to assemble a serious bid is gone.
Priced out of the tools
The incumbent platforms were built for large primes with capture teams and five-figure budgets. The small and mid-size firms these contracts are meant to reach are the ones least able to afford the way in.
Our approach
One front door to public procurement
GubbrMint continuously gathers solicitations from across all three levels of government, normalizes them into a single structure, and puts the handful that fit your business in front of you — while there is still time to bid.
Aggregate
Federal, state, county, city, district. Continuously collected and normalized into one consistent record, whatever shape the source came in.
Understand
Every solicitation is parsed for scope, eligibility, set-asides, dollar range, and deadline — the fields that decide whether it is even worth your time.
Match
You describe your capabilities, certifications, and service area once. We surface the opportunities you can credibly win, ranked, not a firehose to sift.
Alert
Notification the day a fit appears, with the deadline, the documents, and the submission path — early enough to actually respond.
Coverage
All three levels of government
Most tools stop at federal. The overwhelming majority of contracts — and most of the ones a growing firm can realistically win — never get that far up the ladder.
Municipal
Cities, counties, school districts, water and transit authorities. The largest count of buyers, the shortest sales cycles, and the layer that existing tools cover worst.
Widest coverage gapState
Fifty procurement systems, fifty vendor registries, fifty sets of rules. Statewide term contracts and cooperative purchasing agreements that open doors well past their own borders.
50 systems, unifiedFederal
SAM.gov solicitations, sources-sought notices, and set-aside programs — with the eligibility signals that tell you whether a NAICS code and a socioeconomic status put an award genuinely in reach.
