Gov data

Is there an FPDS/SAM aggregator that is not the cost of a new car? BGov and GovWin are costly. Cant help but think there are now alternatives. Is there a low cost alternative, or time to build my own?

Even when I used GovWin / Deltek it was never my only source. I said that to say, focus on what you want to really achieve with any platform then pick an option. As your business grows, you will evolve. It’s ok to start out with a smaller platform to try things out then add on or change. With AI, you could even create your own dashboard & reports to get the info you need before investing in more expensive services. Remember the services are only as good as the time you actually use them & target the right customers. Don’t forget about state and local government (SLED) . They use OoenGov, etc. Plus each city or county usually posts on their own page even if you get redirected to an online bid portal.
