YOUR STARTING POINT
25 years of relationships across 200+ agencies. The opportunity is to put that knowledge to work earlier, with less daily searching.
7 on federal, the rest on state and local.
Always a subcontractor on federal; the goal is teaming before a solicitation drops.
GovWin, BidPrime, BGov, USA Spending, Trello, Smartsheets, Excel, and a slow legacy database.
YOUR PRIORITIES
OPPORTUNITY INTELLIGENCE BRIEF
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), San Francisco Bay Area, with ABAG and BATA.
Three-year contract, anticipated Jan 1, 2027 to Dec 31, 2029.
Notice of upcoming opportunity issued Sept 16, 2026. RFQ release anticipated October 2026 on MTC's Bonfire portal.
Multilingual outreach in Spanish, Mandarin and Cantonese. Minimum qualification: a project manager with 3+ years developing and implementing paid integrated media campaigns.
Get positioned with likely primes before the RFQ posts on Bonfire.
Describe what you pursue in plain English, not NAICS codes.
“paid media buys, public awareness and outreach campaigns, recruitment advertising, audio and broadcast placements, multicultural outreach. Skip IT, software and staffing.”
Every morning, SamSearch reads every new federal and state/local solicitation and its attachments. A media buy buried on page 40 still gets caught.
Each match is scored and explained with “why it matches” and risks flagged.
Separate profiles and daily reports for federal and state/local, each with its own value floor: ~$400K-$500K for state, higher for federal.
Dismiss a pick with a reason: “budget too small”, “no paid media angle”, or “wrong geography”. The next run learns.

ENTERPRISE CASE STUDY
Opportunities reviewed
Surfaced to Deloitte
Of noise filtered out
Of zero-gap coverage

Deloitte's capture team previously relied on manual SAM.gov searches and fragmented alerts. SamSearch scanned 6,420 opportunities over 42 days with zero human effort at the sourcing layer.
The AI filter rate climbed from 35% to 95%; by week six nearly all noise was eliminated. Coverage ran for 42 consecutive days across federal, SLED and defense channels.

Journey Hub connects directly to Trello, so iHeartMedia's pursuit workflow, status updates, and opportunity cards stay in sync with the boards the team already uses. No duplicate entry, no manual handoff.

Notifications and collaboration updates flow directly into Teams without switching platforms.

Deadline and submission dates sync to Outlook calendars across the team automatically.
Live chat, email, and video support during your subscription. Median response time is about two minutes, so the team is never blocked.
Guided setup for iHeartMedia's NAICS codes, certifications, target agency profiles, federal and state search criteria, and Trello integration. The ~45-minute onboarding session before the trial window will be coordinated with Alexandra and the team.
