The work your team already does, without the tab switching.
Every use case below is a workflow a person runs today across SAM.gov, USAspending, agency sites, and spreadsheets. HARBOR Port turns each one into a question an agent can answer in a single session, because the data is already behind one key.
Five teams that pay for this
Each one buys for a different reason. Each workflow names the tools it uses, so you can verify every claim in the docs before you spend anything.
Never miss a recompete you could have won.
An expiring contract is a competition waiting to happen. The agent watches the pipeline: which contracts in your NAICS expire in the next year, who holds them, what the agency paid last time, and whether a replacement solicitation is already posted. A Friday morning brief instead of a Monday surprise.
- Expiring contracts in your NAICS, with incumbent and value attached
- Replacement solicitations matched to the expiring vehicle
- Spend velocity at the buying agency, so you size the bid team correctly
usaspending_expiring_pipeline with your NAICS and a twelve month window returns the contracts, the holders, and the dollars.
sam-opportunities_opportunity_full_packet pulls the replacement solicitation, amendments included.
sam-exclusions_is_excluded clears every proposed teammate before the teaming agreement is signed.
Walk into the meeting knowing the account.
Agency BD runs on context: what the office buys, who already sells to it, whether spend is growing, and which vehicles are open. The agent assembles the account brief from live data the morning of the call, not from a deck someone built last quarter.
- Agency spend trajectory and top vendors, current fiscal year
- Open opportunities and set-aside pipeline at that agency
- Competitor awards mapped to the same NAICS you sell into
usaspending_agency_spend_velocity shows whether the account is growing or shrinking.
sam-opportunities_setaside_pipeline lists what is actually buyable right now.
usaspending_find_competitor_awards maps who you are up against.
Price to win with the actual award history.
Winning bids cluster around what the agency has paid before for comparable work. The agent pulls award history by NAICS, the incumbent record on the specific predecessor contract, and the corporate family behind the UEI, so the price volume cites figures instead of asserting them.
- Award prices on comparable contracts, same NAICS and set-aside
- Incumbent performance context: holder, duration, ceiling versus spend
- Corporate family behind a UEI, so a small competitor is not secretly a division
sam-contract-awards_recent_awards_by_naics returns the comparable price points.
usaspending_incumbent_for_opportunity identifies who holds the predecessor.
usaspending_recipient_corporate_family resolves the UEI to its real owner.
Check the partner before the partner becomes a problem.
Every teaming agreement and subcontract should start with two questions: is this entity excluded, and is its registration current. The agent answers both in one pass, with the registration status and socioeconomic claims verified against the live record rather than a PDF the partner sent.
- Exclusion screening across debarment and suspension lists
- Registration status, NAICS codes, and socioeconomic indicators
- Protest history at the agency, so you know how the venue behaves
sam-exclusions_is_excluded gives the yes or no answer first.
sam-entity_entity_dossier returns registration, NAICS, and socioeconomic status.
gao-bid-protests_protests_for_agency shows how often awards at that agency get challenged.
Answer the market question with the market data.
Is the market concentrated or fragmented. Is the set-aside pool growing. Which agencies are accelerating awards in a NAICS. The agent computes concentration, pulls the velocity series, and sizes the addressable market from Census business patterns, with every figure traceable to the tool that returned it.
- Market share and concentration (HHI) by NAICS and fiscal year
- Agency award velocity and proposed-rule watch for regulatory shifts
- Addressable market sizing from Census county business patterns
usaspending_naics_market_share returns shares and the HHI in one call.
federal-register_proposed_rule_watch flags the regulatory shifts that move the market.
census_cbp_market_size_by_naics_county sizes the commercial base underneath the federal spend.
Ideal customer profile
Who converts, who stays, and who should not buy. Stated plainly so the wrong accounts disqualify themselves before support has to.
GovCon BD and capture teams
Five to two hundred people, one or more full time capture staff, already paying for GovWin, GovSpend, or Bloomberg Government and frustrated by seat prices or stale exports. Builder or Team, SAM.gov included.
AI consultancies serving federal clients
Shops building agents for agencies or contractors that need live federal data inside the agent loop. Team plan, one key per deployment, usage visible per key.
Pricing analysts and market researchers
Independent or boutique analysts who answer concentration, sizing, and pricing questions on retainer. Builder plan, USAspending and Census cover most questions without SAM.
One off SAM searchers
If the job is a single solicitation lookup a month, SAM.gov itself is free and this product is overkill. The free tier exists so those accounts can confirm that in an afternoon.
Bulk data resellers
Accounts that need raw bulk redistribution of source data rather than answers through tools. Several source licences forbid exactly that, and the gateway enforces it.
Classified or FOUO workflows
Every source here is a public API. Anything touching nonpublic, controlled, or classified material does not belong on this gateway, full stop.
Pick a workflow. Ask your agent. Check the figures.
Every tool named above is live in the docs with its parameters. Start on the free tier and run one workflow end to end before you pay for anything.
