Monitor Government Contracts for a Small Consulting Firm

Government contracts are lucrative but finding them is a full-time job. RFPs are scattered across dozens of procurement portals with different formats and timelines. One agent can watch them all.

The Setup

Sarah (News Intelligence) — "RFP Tracker"

Focus area: "New RFPs, RFQs, and contract opportunities from [your state/city] government procurement portals. Focus on [your specialty areas: IT consulting, management consulting, training, etc.]. Include federal opportunities from SAM.gov in [your NAICS codes]. Track bid deadlines and contract values."

Data sources: Web Search, News Articles
Output: Bullet Points
Schedule: Daily at 8:00 AM
Email delivery: On

Custom Instructions

Add: "For each opportunity, include: issuing agency, contract value if listed, submission deadline, and a 1-sentence relevance assessment. Sort by deadline (soonest first)."

What You Get

Every morning:

• New RFPs matching your capabilities
• Deadline countdown for each
• Direct links to the full solicitation
• Relevance assessment so you can triage quickly

Why This Works

Sarah searches broadly and then filters. She'll catch opportunities on state portals, municipal sites, and federal databases that you'd miss checking one at a time.

Cost

~10 credits/day × 22 business days = 220 credits/month. Starter plan covers it. One won contract pays for years of the service.
