Know the collection boundary
A reachable page does not prove that every solicitation, attachment or amendment was collected. Coverage and delivery must be measured against independently checked sources.
Find government bids. Organize your pursuit.
Federal, state and local government opportunities in one search, with a pursuit pipeline built for small contractors. Kansas City is our first operating and customer-proof market.

The gap
Public procurement spans many sources
City, county and school-district notices can appear on separate websites, portals and public-notice pages. Finding a notice is the first step; its current requirements still need checking.
What we do
GovGopher brings collected opportunities and their source links into one workflow with a pursuit pipeline. Kansas City is our first proof market; coverage, federal delivery and alerts are being verified before broader launch claims.
How it works
Three steps, and none of them are "learn procurement"
Scan
We monitor public federal, state and local procurement sources on documented cadences, beginning with the Kansas City market.
Verify
Open the original notice, see where the opportunity came from, and review the current coverage boundary before you act.
Pursue
Move the ones worth chasing into the built-in pipeline. Track stages, deadlines, notes and outcomes in one place, so nothing quietly ages out while you're busy doing the work.

New to government contracting?
Then you're exactly who we built this for
You do not need to already know what an RFP, an IFB or a NAICS code is. Government agencies buy roofing, mowing, plowing, IT support, food service, uniforms and hauling from ordinary local businesses every week — and most of those businesses started out knowing none of the jargon either.
- Plain-English help. Assisted summaries are available on eligible opportunities. The original notice and amendments remain authoritative.
- Start where you are. Filter to your own city or county and see what your local government is actually buying this month.
- We'll help you find your first bid. Email us what you do and where you work, and we'll point you at real, currently-open opportunities you could bid on — no charge, no sales call.

Questions
The honest answers
Where does your data come from?
Public sources only. Federal opportunities come from the SAM.gov Get Opportunities API. State and local bids come from state procurement portals, county and city websites, school-district bid boards, and the e-procurement platforms agencies publish on. Legal notices come from statewide public-notice sites. We link every opportunity back to its original source so you can always verify it yourself.
How often does it refresh?
Refresh timing varies by source. SAM.gov, state, local and public-notice delivery are being reverified for launch, and each published opportunity links back to its source. We will publish dated coverage and delivery evidence as those checks pass.
What's included in Free?
Free provides the federal-search starting point. Paid plans add verified local and state coverage, pursuit workflow, team features and exports as those capabilities pass their launch checks.
How does early access work?
New accounts receive 30 days of Pro access. Coverage, alert delivery, pricing and billing are actively being finalized for launch, so the available feature set may expand as releases pass verification.
What happens when my trial ends?
Nothing dramatic. After 30 days the account drops to the Free plan and keeps working — your account, your saved work and your pipeline stay exactly where they are. Paid features simply lock until you choose a paid plan. We don't delete your saved work.
Which regions actually have local coverage?
Honestly: federal delivery is being reverified for launch, and public-notice availability varies by state and source. City, county and school-district coverage is deepest in the Midwest, with Kansas City as the first customer-proof market. We will not pretend to have nationwide local parity; if your county is not covered yet, tell us and it goes on the review list.
Can pricing change?
The current launch prices are $99 for Starter, $199 for Pro and $299 for Business per month. If a future change affects an existing paid customer, we will provide advance notice before the next renewal.
Can I cancel whenever I want?
Yes, from your own settings — no email, no phone call, no retention script. Cancelling stops future renewals and your access continues to the end of the period you already paid for. We don't refund partial months. You can export your data at any time, including after you cancel.
Are you connected to SAM.gov or any government agency?
No. GovGopher is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by SAM.gov, GSA, or any government agency. We read the same public postings anyone can read, and we link every opportunity back to the issuing agency's own page so you can confirm it at the source.
Who builds this?
GovGopher is built by VivianOps LLC — a Kansas City software development and IT company. We build practical software and provide IT, AI and cybersecurity services. GovGopher includes per-tenant data isolation, two-factor authentication, rate limiting and audit logging as part of responsible product engineering.
