What this is
Set-Aside Pro is a publication that pulls every federal set-aside opportunity from SAM.gov once a night, rewrites it in plain English, and serves it as a public, searchable board. Anyone can browse opportunities without an account.
Who it's for
Small-business owners chasing federal contracts who don't have a full-time capture manager. If you hold an 8(a), Women-Owned (WOSB), HUBZone, Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVOSB), or other small-business certification and want a practical daily feed of what's eligible to bid, this is for you.
What we do
- Fetch every active set-aside notice from SAM.gov once a night, after West Coast procurement offices have closed for the day.
- Generate a plain-English summary of each one β what they want, who should apply, the deal-breakers, the gotchas, and the next steps β so you don't have to read 40 pages of FAR boilerplate to decide if it's worth your time.
- Send a daily digest at 9:00 AM ET (filtered to your saved set-asides, NAICS codes, agencies, and keywords if you're on Pro).
- Provide an assistant you can ask follow-up questions to about a specific opportunity.
What we don't do
- We are not a contracting officer. We can't tell you whether you'll win a bid, whether you're qualified, or how to write a proposal that scores.
- We are not affiliated with SAM.gov, the U.S. Government, or any federal agency. Every opportunity we surface is a public listing; the canonical source is the SAM.gov record we link back to.
- We don't sell your data. The only emails we send are the daily digest you opted into and transactional sign-in codes.
How we make money
The board, the daily digest, and three assistant questions per day are free β and will stay free. We make money from a Pro tier ($29/month) that adds filtered digests (set-asides / NAICS / agencies / keywords) and 200 assistant questions per day. That's it.
