Frequently asked questions
What does this feed cover?
Contract opportunities, procurement policy changes, and solicitation updates across federal agency pages. The long tail of agency-specific pages where pre-solicitation notices and program announcements appear.
Who is this for?
Government contractors, business development teams, and SBIR/STTR applicants who need early visibility on contract opportunities and procurement policy changes.
How often is this updated?
GovPing checks source pages multiple times daily.
Does this replace SAM.gov?
No. GovPing supplements SAM.gov by monitoring the individual agency pages where pre-solicitation notices, sources sought, and RFI documents appear before they hit SAM.
How is this different from GovWin or Deltek?
GovWin and Deltek focus on large, structured solicitations. GovPing is a free feed of the agency-specific pages where early signals appear - pre-solicitation notices, research priorities, and program announcements that precede formal solicitations.
Is GovPing free?
Yes. GovPing is free, and always will be. We believe government regulatory data should be accessible to everyone. For custom monitoring of pages we don't cover yet, Changeflow starts at $99/mo.
Need to monitor something else?
GovPing covers the common sources. For niche pages specific to your team, add custom URL monitoring with Changeflow.
