From “I wish I heard about contracts earlier” to a list of buyers to reach — before your competitors.
Pick your industry, state, and any certifications — 30 seconds, no signup, no card. The same profile that powers your contract matches powers your Radar.
We watch SAM.gov for Sources Sought and pre-solicitation notices in your line of work — funded offices doing market research, months before the formal contract posts.
Each early signal comes with the buyer's contact and a plain-English guide on how to respond — so you get on their radar while they're still shaping the requirement.
The proactive half of AskTuvo — built for the owner who wants to get in early, not a capture team.
Sources Sought and pre-solicitation notices in your industry — the earliest public sign a buyer is about to spend.
Who at the office to reach, so you can introduce your business before your competitors even know the contract exists.
A short, plain-English playbook for each notice — what to send, what to say, and by when. No proposal required.
Every notice shows the deadline and how many days are left, so you never miss the early window.
Only signals in your line of work — not a firehose. Same matching that powers your contract list.
New Sources Sought and pre-solicitation notices post every day; your Radar updates with them.
Before an agency runs a real competition, it often posts a Sources Sought (or pre-solicitation) notice to ask the market who can do the work. There's no bid to win yet — it's a funded buyer doing research. Responding gets your business on their radar while they're still deciding how to structure the contract.
By the time a formal RFP posts, the buyer often already has a preferred vendor in mind. Engaging during market research is how experienced contractors become that vendor — and how a set-aside you qualify for sometimes gets created.
No. A Sources Sought response is not a bid. It's usually a one-page capability statement plus a short note that you can do the work and any certification you hold. We give you the template and steps.
Your contract matches are the reactive half — contracts already posted that you can bid on now. The Buyer Radar is the proactive half — the earliest signals, before the RFP, so you can act first. Together they cover the whole journey.
Seeing the early signals in your space is free to start. Unlocking the buyer contacts is part of the paid plan ($49/month) — and free during our beta when you create an account.
It takes 30 seconds and costs nothing. Find the government offices researching work like yours right now.
