The problem

Good bids get buried in a noisy feed.

BSonar filters the feed before it reaches you—so time goes to qualified bids, not search tabs.

See new matches within an hour—not days later.
Hide awarded and irrelevant notices automatically.
Watch every saved NAICS search from one place.

New to federal contracting?

Get SAM.gov-ready in four phases.

Registration is free. Gather your records first, then allow up to 10 business days for federal review.

1Before you start

Prepare

Gather your legal, tax, banking, and NAICS details.

1.Gather your business information first

Collect your EIN/TIN exactly as it appears on IRS records, your legal business name and physical address, business start date, NAICS codes, and bank routing/account numbers for EFT. Use the official Entity Registration Checklist as your prep guide.

Official resource
2Online

Create access

Create Login.gov access and your personal SAM.gov profile.

2.Create a Login.gov account

SAM.gov authentication runs entirely through Login.gov. You'll be redirected there to create a username and password and set up two-factor authentication, then sent back to SAM.gov. Remember: Login.gov owns your credentials and MFA — reset them there, not on SAM.gov.

Official resource
3.Sign in and create your SAM.gov user profile

Sign in via Login.gov, then complete your individual SAM.gov user profile. This personal account is separate from your entity registration and is what you'll later use to request the API key.

Official resource
3Complete online

Register

Validate the entity, complete the federal forms, and submit.

4.Start entity registration and validate your entity

Choose 'Register Entity.' Entity validation confirms your legal name and physical address are unique and accurate — this is the most common stall point, so make sure they exactly match your IRS and state records. Once validated, your Unique Entity ID (UEI) is assigned automatically.

Official resource
5.Complete Core Data

Enter your mandatory core data: UEI, business name and address, TIN/EIN, CAGE code (assigned if you don't have one), business types, NAICS codes, and your bank/EFT financial information.

Official resource
6.Complete Assertions and Reps & Certs

Provide your assertions (goods/services NAICS and PSC codes, size metrics, EDI, disaster-response capabilities) and answer the FAR/DFARS Representations and Certifications required by federal statute for federal contracting.

Official resource
7.Add your Points of Contact, then submit

Fill in every mandatory point of contact — you can't submit without them — then review and submit. Processing averages about 3 business days but can take up to 10 with IRS and CAGE reviews. Track it on the Status Tracker, and renew every 365 days to stay active.

Official resource
4After activation

Connect BSonar

Generate your public API key and add it to BSonar.

8.Get your personal SAM.gov API key

Sign in to SAM.gov, open Account Details on your user profile, and request your personal 'public' API key (re-enter your password to view it). To unlock the full 1,000 requests/day quota, your user account must be tied to an active entity registration — otherwise you're throttled to ~10/day. The key shows only once on that page and auto-rotates roughly every 90 days, so store it securely. This is the key you paste into BSonar.

Frequently asked

What does BSonar cost?

Monitoring is $20/month for hourly federal and supported state monitoring, saved searches, alerts, and the daily digest. Full Access is $60/month and adds AI triage, Recompete Radar, pipeline and outcomes, answer library, price-to-win, and proposal drafting. Teams pricing is TBD and the plan is coming soon.

Which AI models can I use?

Full Access supports Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Z.ai, Kimi, and Mistral. Pick the provider and models in Settings, paste your key, and hit Test. The $60 plan unlocks the workflows; provider usage is billed by your provider, or by separately purchased platform credits when that option is configured.

Do you cover state and local contracts?

Yes — New Jersey's state procurement portal (NJSTART) is live alongside SAM.gov, matched by your keywords and deduped into the same dashboard and digest. More states run on the same platform family, and we're expanding coverage — tell us which state you need next.

What is Recompete Radar?

Most contracts you could win are already being performed by someone else. BSonar watches public award data (USAspending) for contracts in your NAICS codes ending 6–24 months from now and tells you who the incumbent is and what the government paid — months before the recompete solicitation posts, when relationships are actually built.

Do I need my own SAM.gov API key to use BSonar?

Yes. BSonar runs on your own SAM.gov API key, encrypted at rest, so your monitoring uses your private quota and stays isolated — never throttled by other users. Our guide above walks you through registering on SAM.gov and generating that key from your Account Details page.

How fast will I hear about a closing-soon contract?

BSonar polls SAM.gov every hour. When a match has a short deadline, you get an instant email within one poll interval — separate from your daily digest — so urgent opportunities never sit unseen until tomorrow's roundup.

Will I get spammed with duplicate or irrelevant notices?

No. Database-enforced dedup means each notice is stored and emailed exactly once, even across repeated hourly polls. Already-awarded and justification notices are hidden by default (about a third of the feed), and you only see matches against your NAICS codes.

What if my SAM.gov registration isn't active yet?

You can register and generate a key with a personal account, but your API quota is capped at ~10 requests/day until your account is tied to an active entity registration — then it jumps to the full 1,000/day. Get your registration active first to give BSonar room to monitor everything that matters.
