Make American Bureaucracy Legible

Bureauify is a search and orientation layer for U.S. government information, built on contracts, grants, bills, and economic data from SAM.gov, USAspending, FPDS, and Grants.gov into a structured, searchable platform. We layer on intelligence to surface the opportunities you're most likely to win.

What does Bureauify do?

Bureauify is a search and orientation layer for U.S. government information, built on contracts, grants, bills, and economic data from SAM.gov, USAspending, FPDS, and Grants.gov.

You can find a record, understand what it means, verify it against its official source, explore what it connects to across government, and follow it as things change.

For people working government business professionally, Bureauify also offers opportunity search, competitive analysis, and proposal tooling on top of the same records.

Our Data Sources

We aggregate from authoritative federal data systems and refresh continuously to ensure accuracy.

SAM.gov

Updated Daily

Opportunities & entities

The official U.S. government system for contract opportunities and entity registrations.

USAspending

Updated Weekly

Award & spending data

The official source for federal spending data, tracking every dollar the government spends.

FPDS

Updated 2x daily

Contract actions

The Federal Procurement Data System, recording every contract action over the micro-purchase threshold.

Grants.gov

Updated Daily

Grant opportunities

The central clearinghouse for all federal grant-making agencies.

Plus 110+ supplementary federal sources including Federal Register, GAO, SBIR, and agency forecasts.

How We Process Data

Ingest

Automated pipelines pull from 110+ federal data sources on schedules ranging from twice-daily to weekly. Each source has dedicated parsing logic to handle format variations.

Validate

Every record passes through validation checks: date ranges (1950-2035), amount caps ($500B), field completeness, and deduplication across sources. Invalid records are quarantined, not dropped.

Enrich

Records are enriched with NAICS descriptions, agency hierarchies, geographic data, and cross-references between sources. Related records across SAM, FPDS, and USAspending are linked by contract ID.

Index

Validated records are indexed with 1024-dimensional semantic vectors for natural language search. The index supports hybrid keyword + semantic queries with sub-second response times.

Rank

Search results are ranked by a hybrid relevance model that combines BM25 keyword scoring, semantic vector similarity, freshness decay, and per-source authority weights. The same query produces the same ordering on repeat runs — ranking is deterministic, not personalized, and the per-result score components are surfaced in API responses for relevance auditing.

Built for Government Contractors

Whether you're a first-time federal contractor trying to navigate SAM.gov or an enterprise capture team managing dozens of pursuits, Bureauify scales to your needs.

We support all major set-aside types — 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, HUBZone — and help you track certifications, find teaming partners, and stay on top of deadlines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What data sources does Bureauify use?+

Bureauify aggregates data from 4 primary primary federal data sources: SAM.gov (contract opportunities and entity registrations), USAspending.gov (federal spending and award data), FPDS (Federal Procurement Data System for detailed contract actions), and Grants.gov (federal grant opportunities). We also ingest supplementary data from 110+ additional federal sources including the Federal Register, GAO reports, IG reports, SBIR/STTR, and agency forecasts.

How often is the data updated?+

Each source publishes on its own schedule, and Bureauify ingests from them on independent cycles. Rather than quote a single refresh rate, every record links back to its official source so you can confirm the current state there — the authoritative system is always the one that published it.

Is Bureauify free to use?+

Yes. Bureauify's free tier lets you search public bureaucracy across all 100M+ records and save what matters. Pro ($29.99/month) adds Follow — get notified when the entities, searches, and records you follow change, plus personal connectors where supported. Business ($199/month) adds one shared workspace for your team with operator seats, shared projects, team alerts, and assignments.

How is Bureauify different from SAM.gov?+

Bureauify unifies data from SAM.gov plus three additional federal sources (USAspending, FPDS, Grants.gov) into a single search experience, and connects each record to the agencies, vendors, and related activity around it. SAM.gov is the authoritative system of record; Bureauify is the orientation layer over it, searchable without an account. Professional tooling — competitive analysis and proposal drafting — sits on top for people doing this work full time.
