Free alerts—or a radar that helps you act?
Native SAM.gov notifications cost nothing and may be enough for an occasional search. BSonar Monitoring is $20/month for contractors who need hourly scans, supported state opportunities, deadline-first triage, instant short-fuse alerts, and one clean daily digest.
Instant urgent alerts
Closing-soon matches email you within one hourly poll — separate from the digest.
No awarded noise
Already-awarded and justification notices are hidden by default — about a third of the feed.
Ranked by deadline
Every match is grouped by how long you have to respond, so you triage in seconds.
Your own SAM key
Runs on your private 1,000/day quota, encrypted — never throttled by other users.
SAM.gov alerts — frequently asked
Are SAM.gov email alerts free?
Yes. Native SAM.gov saved-search notifications are free. BSonar is a separate paid service: Monitoring costs $20/month and adds hourly scanning on your key, urgency ranking, closing-soon alerts, supported state coverage, and a clean daily digest.
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, low-competition opportunities never sit unseen.
Will I get spammed with duplicate or irrelevant notices?
No. Database-enforced dedup means each notice is emailed exactly once. Already-awarded and justification notices are hidden by default (about a third of the feed), and you only see matches against your NAICS codes.
Do I need my own SAM.gov API key?
Yes. BSonar runs on your own SAM.gov API key, encrypted at rest, so your monitoring uses your private 1,000/day quota and is never throttled by other users. It is free to generate from your SAM.gov Account Details page.
