Question 1

How fresh is the contract data?

Accepted Answer

GovScout pulls data directly from the USASpending.gov API and updates daily. You're searching the same federal spending records that agencies report.

Question 2

How is this different from searching SAM.gov directly?

Accepted Answer

SAM.gov shows open solicitations. GovScout shows awarded contracts — who won, how much, and from which agency. Plus you get spending trend analysis, competitive intelligence, set-aside filters, saved searches with email alerts, and CSV export.

Question 3

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are no long-term contracts or cancellation fees. Cancel your Pro subscription anytime from your account settings.

Question 4

What's included in the free tier?

Accepted Answer

Free accounts get up to 10 searches per day with basic contract results — award ID, recipient, agency, amount, and dates. No credit card required.

Question 5

What does Pro unlock?

Accepted Answer

Pro gives you unlimited searches, spending trend charts by agency, email alerts for saved searches, CSV export of results, and full competitive intelligence — all for $49/mo.

Question 6

Do you support set-aside filters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Filter by 8(a) Business Development, HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB, and SBA small business set-asides to find contracts reserved for your certification type.

Question 7

How do email alerts work?

Accepted Answer

Save any search and GovScout will email you when new matching contract awards appear. Pro subscribers can save unlimited searches with alerts.

Question 8

Can I export results?

Accepted Answer

Pro subscribers can export search results to CSV for use in spreadsheets, proposals, or CRM imports. Free tier users can view results on-screen only.
