General

GovSpend provides government procurement data and analytics to organizations buying and selling in the public sector. With transparency and accountability at the center of what we do, we strive to place data-driven insights into the hands of our federal, state, local, and education customers so they can win more government contracts.

GovSpend delivers procurement intelligence at the federal, state, and local levels via 2 data platforms: GovSpend and Fedmine.

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.

GovSpend Platform

The GovSpend platform is powered by data sourced from a blend of methods, including agency relationships, data harvesting technology, and direct-to-platform posting. You can read more about GovSpend’s data sources here.

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 approved third-party integrations such as Zapier or using our Saved Search API.

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.

Some of our SLED customers are hyper-specialized and use the GovSpend to identify teaming partners that can help expand their niche or find the right vendor for their needs.

Yes! All you need is one to a handful of people who are dedicated to using GovSpend to grow your public sector business. 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.

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.

Fedmine Platform

The Fedmine platform aggregates and integrates data from 19 federal sources. You can read more about Fedmine’s data sources here

Opportunities, grants, and contracts are received and updated daily. Industry statistics, lists of top companies, and other reports get updated every 7 to 15 days depending on the data source used.

Yes, download buttons appear on several pages throughout the platform. Contact lists can be downloaded in .XLS format and are subject to terms and conditions for their ultimate use. Reports and company profiles can be downloaded as .PDF or .XLS. Company Profiles can also be emailed directly from the platform as .PDFs or embedded HTML in your email.

Yes. We recommend using the Print buttons available throughout the platform over your browser’s print function to ensure formatting passes on to your printer.

Fedmine is best suited for contractors and agencies looking to conduct in-depth federal market research, including competitive intelligence, vendor research and performance analysis, prospecting, and many other marketing and business development-related activities.

It is a violation of both federal and state law to transmit unsolicited bulk email inappropriately. Anyone violating such laws may be subject to civil and criminal penalties for sending unsolicited mass emails without providing recipients with a genuine mechanism to unsubscribe. Fedmine provides business information for lawful purposes and expressly forbids the use of its business information in any unlawful manner.

Service

Once signed up, customers will be introduced to their dedicated Relationship Manager, who will schedule a meeting to kick off the onboarding process. During this call, your Relationship Manager will seek to better understand your public sector strategy and goals, including your products and services, territories, and competitors, and will use that information to tailor your training and timeline accordingly. Onboarding typically lasts 3 months, during which time you will check in regularly with your Relationship Manager to ask questions and give feedback.

Yes. In addition to a dedicated Relationship Manager, every customer has access to unlimited training and support via our Customer Success team. This team of experts is an integral part of our customer service model and can help with everything from building custom searches to setting up alerts to customizing your dashboard.
