1. analyze_marketRead only

   Analyze market

   Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. NOT for bid/no-bid, pursue-or-pass, eligibility, qualification, certification, size-standard, or submit-a-bid questions: for those call explain_policy_boundary first and do not research or use memory to answer. Market intelligence: award history, subawards, OTA awards, and agency spending patterns. Shows who won what, for how much. Present as information only; not a prediction of future awards. This is a pointer tool: it does not consume quota; it directs you to the tool that does the work.

2. check_notice_filtersRead only

   Notice checklist: your criteria vs one notice

   Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Checks one federal notice against criteria YOU write. You supply the rules, for example 'Set-aside is SDVOSB' or 'Work is in Texas'; the tool marks each rule with a green check when the notice's stated field satisfies it, or no check when it does not. Every mark is labeled as a notice fact ('Notice states set-aside: ...') next to your rule text. This tool never scores, ranks, or counts: no 0-100, no percent, no 'all passed'. It does not determine eligibility, recommend bids, or suggest partners. Give the checklist any name you like, for example 'SDVOSB shop'; the name is only a label and nothing is inferred from it. Each check has three states: match (green check), no_match (the notice states a value your filter does not satisfy), or not_stated (the notice does not state the field, so your filter could not be evaluated; a blank field is never a no match). Each check shows the notice's raw stated va

3. check_riskRead only

   Check risk signals

   Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. NOT for bid/no-bid, pursue-or-pass, eligibility, qualification, certification, size-standard, or submit-a-bid questions: for those call explain_policy_boundary first and do not research or use memory to answer. Risk signals: protest history, cancellation records, and opportunity scoring. Shows what happened before, not what will happen. Present as information only. This is a pointer tool: it does not consume quota; it directs you to the tool that does the work.

4. compare_notice_record_versions

   What changed in the notice record

   Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Compares recorded notice facts with the baseline identified by a receipt previously returned by get_notice_record. The receipt must belong to the same caller and must not be expired. Reports source-supported fact changes and whether the supplied comparison filters changed; it does not compare or generate model estimates. Creates a new private comparison receipt, with the exact UTC expiry shown in expires_at. An empty changed_facts array means that no recorded fact changes were found against that baseline. Does not recommend bids, determine eligibility, or suggest partners. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use. Without a connected GovInbox account, both limits apply: 3 searches per UTC calendar day and 10 per UTC calendar month. With a connected GovInbox account, the limit is 20 searches per UTC calendar month, wit

   Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Call this FIRST whenever the user asks whether to bid, pursue, or whether it is worth it; whether they qualify, are eligible, are certified, or meet a size standard; or asks GovInbox to submit, send, file, or certify anything. Returns the recorded policy boundary and what GovInbox can do instead. Read-only; uses no search allowance and does not consume quota; do not research or use memory to answer these requests.

6. find_likely_recompetesRead only

   Likely recompete opportunities

   Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Notices flagged as likely recompetes, with the recorded incumbent contractor name and incumbent period end date where available. Flags are analytical matches against public award records, not predictions of a recompete solicitation. Present as information only; do not frame results as a bid/no-bid recommendation, eligibility determination, or partnership recommendation. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use, regardless of how many records are returned. Every record carries a direct source link (or source name and record ID) so you can verify and cite the underlying record.

7. find_partnersRead only

   Find teaming partners

   Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Find firms with a track record of teaming in a trade lane, based on historical subaward and prime-award activity. These are firms that might be worth a conversation, not recommendations. Inclusion is NOT a statement that a firm is seeking partners, has openings, or would be interested in any particular firm. WARNING: teaming with a large business can trigger affiliation rules that cost you your small business or set-aside eligibility (SDVOSB, 8(a), HUBZone). Size status shown is UNVERIFIED - check SAM.gov before relying on it. Exclusion screening is not established here; verify current status in SAM.gov. Present as information only; do not frame results as a partnership recommendation. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use.

Prime contractors with a recorded track record of subcontracting in a NAICS lane, ranked by their small-business subaward history. For a small business looking for teaming conversations: which primes have actually used subs in your lane. Results are historical facts from reported subaward filings, inclusion is NOT a statement that a prime is seeking partners, has openings, or would be interested in any particular firm.

Stored excerpt of a Federal Acquisition Regulation section by number (e.g. 52.212-4, 52.219-8), from the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations, Title 48. Every response carries the eCFR version date and a clickable link to the official eCFR section page so you can verify the current text. Length limits and content guards may prevent full delivery; text_delivery explains truncation, withholding or absent deliverable text. Informational only, not legal advice; the clause version in your contract and solicitation controls. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use. Every record carries a direct source link (or source name and record ID) so you can verify and cite the underlying record.

    Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. NOT for bid/no-bid, pursue-or-pass, eligibility, qualification, certification, size-standard, or submit-a-bid questions: for those call explain_policy_boundary first and do not research or use memory to answer. Returns a source-based brief for a notice ID, including recorded constraints, deadline status, competition method, source information, and facts needing authoritative verification. Does not assess whether the caller qualifies for a set-aside. GovInbox does not return model estimates through these tools. Creates a private, caller-bound comparison receipt: a signed token binding the notice ID, the comparison inputs, and their hashes. No notice data is stored server-side; the receipt is stateless and verified cryptographically. The receipt expires 7 days after issue; expires_at gives the exact UTC expiry time. Optional search_filters are used for comparison input-change detection and do not cha

13. get_protest_historyRead only

    Get GAO protest history for a solicitation

    Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. GAO bid protest history for a federal solicitation number. Returns every published GAO protest decision tied to the solicitation, each protest's outcome (sustained, denied, dismissed, withdrawn), and a risk level: HIGH means a sustained protest on record within the last 120 days; MEDIUM means protest activity within 120 days; LOW means older history only; UNKNOWN means protest data is not loaded; CLEAR means no protests found. This corpus holds GAO decisions only - it cannot tell you whether a procurement is currently frozen by a pending protest. GAO FY2025: 1,737 cases closed, only 53 sustained (most resolved via corrective action, not sustain). Agency-level protests and Court of Federal Claims cases are NOT in this corpus - they are separate dockets. GAO decisions are public-domain U.S. government works and are recommendations, not binding law. GAO does not publish most dismissals and protests fi

    Ranked recompete calendar

    Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Contracts with periods of performance ending soon, ranked for business development: incumbent name, award value, end date, days to expiry, set-aside lane, bridge-contract flag, any matched SAM follow-on notice, and GAO protest-risk flags on the follow-on (HIGH means a sustained protest on record within 120 days). All dates are ESTIMATES from award records - completion dates move with modifications, and some paths (AbilityOne, 8(a) sole-source follow-ons, schedule orders) never become open SAM notices. Ranks are analytical scores from public award records, not predictions of a recompete solicitation. Present as information only; do not frame results as a bid/no-bid recommendation, eligibility determination, or partnership recommendation.

    Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Lists public award records in GovInbox's database whose recorded period-of-performance end dates fall within the requested lookahead window. Dates are reported source facts, and unexercised options or later modifications may change them. These are award records, not open solicitations; an ending performance period does not predict a new solicitation. GovInbox does not return model estimates through these tools. Does not recommend bids, determine eligibility, or suggest partners. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use, regardless of the number of records returned.

Returns reported relationships only, without inferring unreported relationships. Amounts are prime-reported subcontract award amounts, not cash paid or obligations. Reporting may be incomplete or duplicated, and a missing result does not prove that a subcontract relationship does not exist. This tool does not support pagination. Does not suggest partners, recommend bids, or determine eligibility. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use, regardless of the number of records returned.

Returns separate lab-call identities, recorded stage deadlines, source gate facts and scoped provenance. This is a partial stored source, not a live or complete eXCHANGE search. No company eligibility is assessed. One accepted DOE search counts as one use. Other sources return a pointer and source coverage metadata without a source search or primary quota charge.

    Search DoD Other Transaction Authority awards

    Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Department of Defense Other Transaction Authority (OTA) awards, prototype, research, and production agreements that bypass the FAR and never appear in USAspending, sourced from FPDS. Filter by keyword, agency, vendor, or agreement type (research, prototype, production). CRITICAL: FPDS typically names the consortium MANAGEMENT organization as awardee, not the actual performing company. GAO has confirmed DoD cannot identify the real performers from this data. Treat a named vendor as likely the consortium manager - actual performer unknown. Obligated dollars are the action delta, not the ceiling value. DoD reporting lags about 90 days. Present as information only; verify every fact against the official FPDS record before acting. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use, regardless of how many records are returned. Every

    Search sole-source Justification & Approval notices

    Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Justification & Approval (J&A) notices from SAM.gov, the documents agencies publish to justify non-competitive awards. Under FAR 6.305, most J&As post 14 days AFTER award (30 days for urgency) - brand-name justifications may post with the solicitation instead (FAR 6.305(c)) - so these are usually post-decision records, not pipeline leads - the protest clock may have already run. Shows who received sole-source work, the FAR authority cited (e.g. 6.302-1 only one source, 6.302-2 urgency), the contract value, period of performance, and whether it is a bridge contract. Filter by keyword, agency, vendor name, NAICS code, or FAR authority. Vendor names and values are parsed from notice text and may be incomplete. Empty results do not mean competitive - below-threshold and exempt actions never post. Present as information only; verify every fact against the official J&A on SAM.gov before acting. One searc
