TenderTide — Federal Bid Matches & RFP Breakdown

Who it's for

• Small businesses and contractors bidding on U.S. federal work (construction, facilities, IT, services and more)
• 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB and HUBZone firms looking for set-aside opportunities
• Owners and BD leads who don't have time to search SAM.gov every day

Core features

• Daily matches: new federal opportunities filtered by your NAICS codes, set-aside status, states and keywords
• Bid/no-bid score: up to 30 top matches a day are scored and ranked, each with its deadline, a short summary, the reasons behind the score and a direct SAM.gov link
• RFP deep read: pick any opportunity and get a compliance matrix, a required-documents checklist, key dates and amounts, and a proposal outline
• Quotes you can trust: every requirement comes with the exact sentence and page from the original notice, checked against the source
• Extra context: SBA size standards for your NAICS codes and recent comparable awards from USAspending.gov
• Amendment alerts: see when a notice you deep-read changes its deadline or title, or gets an amendment

How it works

1. Tell TenderTide about your business once (NAICS codes, set-asides, states, keywords).
2. Ask for your daily digest and get today's best-fit opportunities, ranked by score.
3. Ask for a deep read on any one you like and get the full requirements breakdown, ready for your proposal team.

Why TenderTide

• Stop scrolling SAM.gov: the right opportunities come to you, ranked
• Decide bid/no-bid in minutes, not hours
• Never miss a required document or deadline
• Priced for small businesses: $9/week, $30/month or $330/year, far below typical enterprise bid-intelligence subscriptions

TenderTide is an information tool. It does not submit bids and is not affiliated with SAM.gov or any U.S. government agency.

• How do I get started? Tell TenderTide your NAICS codes, set-aside type, states and keywords. Your first matches come right after.
• Do I need a SAM.gov API key? Not for daily matches. For deep reads, add your own free SAM.gov Public API key (sam.gov → Account Details → Public API Key) in your Capafy settings as SAM_API_KEY. Never paste it into chat.
• How fresh is the data? SAM.gov publishes new opportunities daily, and TenderTide reads the latest file each time you ask.
• Will it write my proposal? It gives you the compliance matrix, checklist and outline so you can write your proposal faster. You stay in control of what you submit.
• How much does it cost? $9/week (12 requests per week), $30/month (50 requests per month) or $330/year (50 requests per month, 600 per year). On every plan the tool also allows at most 50 requests in any rolling 31 days. A daily digest, a deep read, a profile save (which includes your first matches) and a follow-up question each count as one request; retries and follow-up questions count too.
• Refunds? Refunds are handled by Capafy under its refund policy. For help, email [email protected].
