SAM.gov publishes thousands of opportunities a week. Most are noise to most contractors. Bridger's matching engine ranks every public opportunity against your CAGE-equivalent registration, NAICS, capability set, target agencies, and past performance — so the daily 'what should I look at?' question has a real answer.
Opportunities come from three ingest sources: SAM.gov v2 API (sync every 4 hours), USAspending.gov for award follow-on patterns, and direct DOD contracts feed for press-released awards. Each opportunity is normalized into a canonical Opportunity row with NAICS, set-aside, value, deadline, agency, and AI-generated summary fields.
The matching engine joins each opportunity against your CompanyProfile and PastPerformance edges. The result is a ranked OrgOpportunityMatch row that powers the in-app /opportunities page, the daily inbox digest, and the appropriations-page “view N matching opportunities” action pills.
Anyone whose current process is “a colleague forwarded a SAM.gov link.” The engine is a categorical improvement on that.
Allied vendors specifically: NAICS-fit and capability-fit often look strong on paper, but past-performance fit is what US contracting officers underwrite. Bridger surfaces both honestly.
