Boca Raton, FL
GovSpend delivers procurement intelligence at the federal, state, and local levels via 2 data platforms: GovSpend and Fedmine.
The GovSpend platform is the leading provider of spending data for the SLED market, bringing together purchase orders, bids, contracts, meeting transcripts, and contacts into a single platform so that buyers and sellers can be more proactive and competitive.
The Fedmine platform aggregates and standardizes 19 otherwise disparate data sources, enabling unparalleled access to federal spending data and giving customers robust analytics for smarter selling in the public sector.
Yes. GovSpend’s products and services are offered on an annual subscription basis with multi-year options available.
We believe in pricing that reflects the direct value customers can get out of our solutions. Therefore, we don’t have tiered pricing based on packages or access. Instead, we rely on exploratory conversations that allow us to understand your business and price accordingly.
Specifically, before we price, we seek to learn more about:
- Your industry and the goods or services you sell
- The size of your public sector sales and marketing teams
- Your history of selling into the public sector and your related growth goals
- The challenges you’ve faced growing your public sector business
No, GovSpend’s solutions are relevant for all industries. Our data platforms are meant for any organization looking to sharpen its public sector strategy in both the federal and SLED markets and gain a stronger competitive advantage. Our customers span all markets, including but not limited to Education, HVAC, IT Suppliers and Service Providers, Defense Contractors, Distribution Partners, and Manufacturers.

When compared with our primary competitors, GovSpend excels in 3 major areas:
- State, local & education (SLED) data – GovSpend’s data acquisition team has worked tirelessly to build a database of spending intelligence that is unmatched in the market. In addition to the most comprehensive collection of current and historical purchase orders, we deliver bids & RFPs, contracts, meetings, and contacts, giving vendors selling into the SLED market the most well-rounded intelligence available today.
- Federal data – Unlike most public sector data providers, we offer solutions that cater to both the SLED and Fed markets. For federal contractors and agencies, we aggregate and standardize spending data from 19 otherwise disparate data sources, delivering unparalleled access to federal spending data for smarter, more insightful selling.
- AI & Automation – While many data providers tout innovative AI solutions, GovSpend’s data is what sets our emerging technology apart. Our AI-powered features, which streamline the pain points of public sector selling, are fueled by our unrivaled SLED and Federal datasets.
GovSpend Platform
GovSpend platform data is collected through several channels:
Agency Relationships
Spending & POs, Contacts
Our agency relationships are what make GovSpend unique. By requesting new and updated data on a regular basis, we are able to continuously refresh and refine our most valuable and differentiated datasets: purchase orders and agency contacts.
Data Harvesting
Bids & RFPs, Contracts & Co-ops, Meeting Intelligence
Agencies post RFPs, bids, and meeting files on many different websites, including their own. However, jumping from site to site isn’t an effective way to find new bid opportunities. Our technology does all this work for you by aggregating this data from hundreds of thousands of sources, transcribing any video content, and making them searchable through a single interface.
Customer Request
All Datasets
Our data teams are constantly expanding our coverage with new relationships and stronger technology, but sometimes our customers are the reason we hunt down new datasets. Every GovSpend subscription includes the ability to request additional data or a data refresh for agencies or contracts of particular interest.
Direct to GovSpend
Quotes & RFQs
Using our Quotes module, agencies can post RFQs directly to the GovSpend platform. This allows companies to communicate directly and in real-time with the agencies when responding to requests, streamlining the procurement process for both parties.

We add data to the GovSpend platform every day. Each agency varies in its refresh cycle, which can be anywhere from 1 to 90 days.
Customers are permitted to download data from the application via monthly export credits. This data can then be exported into a .CSV or Excel file, through our custom CRM integrations for Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics, through approved third-party integrations such as Zapier, or using our Saved Search API.
Yes. Every GovSpend subscription includes the ability to request additional data or a data refresh for agencies or contracts of particular interest.
Yes, GovSpend offers integration with all the major CRM providers, including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics.
AI and automation are the connective tissue of our development roadmap. We are baking AI into the way we structure, standardize, and connect our unmatched spending data, delivering a smarter, more seamless user experience. We are also building new workflow tools, like Prompts, Chat, and Notebook, that enable our customers to actively leverage AI when interrogating bids, listening for buying signals, or building a sales pipeline.
In addition to Bids & RFPs, the GovSpend platform integrates P.O. data (down to the line item) with agency contacts, meeting transcripts and documents, contracts and co-ops, and more. Our all-in-one platform provides the well-rounded intelligence public sector teams need to size their market, understand their competition, and proactively win more business. Unlike a bid platform, GovSpend has data to fortify every step of your SLED sales cycle.
Yes! Our customers vary from small business owners looking to grow their federal contracts to teams of 100+ sales and marketing professionals focused on the public sector as a whole. However, we highly recommend businesses set themselves up for success by having at least 3 people dedicated to using GovSpend.
Technically, yes, but we don’t recommend it. To comply with anti-spam laws, our contacts are not opted-in to receive marketing emails, and generally, government agencies have very sensitive spam filters that block most marketing email content. Instead, we recommend using our contact information for individual outreach.
Absolutely! The GovSpend platform has the ability to narrow data down to a single territory, giving users insight into the purchasing habits of the agencies they service, allowing your business to be more competitive in the market.
