Federal opportunity intelligence

Find the federal work you can actually win.

SignalForge scores every open federal opportunity against your firm, surfaces the handful worth your time, and flags the compliance gates — from CMMC and clearances to set-asides and past-performance — buried in the solicitation. Built for small businesses going after federal work, not enterprise capture teams.

Who it's for

Any small business chasing federal contracts or grants.

Whatever your shop does, SignalForge scores the feed against your NAICS, services, and certifications — and reads the gates that actually apply to you. A few of the firms it's built for:

IT & Cybersecurity Construction & Facilities Professional & Staffing Services Healthcare & Medical Logistics & Transportation Engineering & Environmental Janitorial & Grounds Research · SBIR · Grants
The triage problem

Most of SAM.gov isn't for you. The hard part is finding the part that is.

A saved search dumps thousands of notices in your lap and leaves the judgment to you. SignalForge does the judgment first — so you open the day looking at a short list, not a haystack.

How it works

Three steps, run for you overnight.

STEP 01

Describe your shop once

Your NAICS codes, services, set-aside status, and the certifications you actually hold. That profile becomes the lens for everything.

STEP 02

Every opportunity gets scored

Contracts, grants, and SBIR — ranked against your profile with the reasons shown. No black box: you see exactly why something matched.

STEP 03

The strong matches get a brief

Each top match is read against the solicitation text for compliance gates, eligibility, and a straight pursue-or-pass call you can trust.

The compliance brief

It reads the fine print so a bid doesn't surprise you.

The platforms that aggregate opportunities tell you something exists. SignalForge tells you whether you can win and deliver it — by pulling the requirement straight from the solicitation and quoting the line. Every gate is evidence-backed; nothing is inferred.

CMMC Level 2 GAP
“Offeror must hold CMMC Level 2 certification at time of award.” — Section L, p.14
Set-aside — Total Small Business ELIGIBLE
“This requirement is 100% set aside for small business concerns.” — Section M, p.21
Win probability — medium

Strong NAICS and capability fit. The certification gap is closable before the due date — start the Level 2 self-assessment now and confirm your SPRS score.

The compliance clock is already running.
CMMC Phase 1 went live November 10, 2025 — self-assessments now appear in applicable DoD solicitations. Phase 2 brings mandatory Level 2 third-party certification. SignalForge flags which opportunities you're already locked out of, and which you can still prepare for in time.

Where it fits

Between a free firehose and a five-figure platform.

SAM.gov is free but does the thinking for none of you. The enterprise suites are powerful but priced and built for large BD teams. SignalForge is the middle nobody serves.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is SignalForge?

SignalForge is federal opportunity intelligence for small businesses. It scores every open federal contract, grant, and SBIR topic against your firm's profile, surfaces the handful worth pursuing, and writes an evidence-grounded compliance brief on the strong matches.

Who is SignalForge for?

Small businesses pursuing federal contracts and grants — IT and cybersecurity, construction and facilities, professional and staffing services, healthcare, logistics, engineering, and teams chasing SBIR or grants — typically under 50 employees.

How is it different from SAM.gov or GovWin?

SAM.gov is a free firehose that leaves the judgment to you; enterprise suites like GovWin are five-figure tools built for large BD teams. SignalForge does the triage and the bid/no-bid judgment for a one- or two-person shop, and reads compliance gates straight from the solicitation.

What does it cost?

Founding pricing is $99/month for Solo (one firm profile) and $199/month for Shop (up to five profiles and teammates). Founding members keep their rate as the product grows.

What is a compliance gate?

A requirement in a solicitation that can disqualify you — a CMMC certification, a clearance, a set-aside such as SDVOSB, WOSB, 8(a), or HUBZone, a past-performance threshold, or a registration. SignalForge flags each one and quotes the source line so nothing is inferred.

Does it cover grants too?

Yes. SignalForge scores Grants.gov and SBIR opportunities alongside SAM.gov contracts, all ranked to your profile.
