Frequently asked questions
Is SamMatch free for small business subcontractors?
Yes — your SamMatch profile is free. Claim with your SAM.gov UEI to stay eligible for organic prime matching, SBS capability enrichment, and in-app replies when primes contact you. Optional paid plans add award intelligence: SamMatch Signals ($39/mo) for prime award alerts and pursuit briefs, and SamMatch Pursuit ($89/mo) for readiness scoring, vault, capability statements, and data rooms.
How do I get matched to federal prime contract opportunities?
After you verify your UEI and complete your subcontractor profile, SamMatch alerts you when a prime posts a requirement that matches your NAICS codes and socio-economic certifications — HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB, or 8(a). Primes initiate contact; you reply in the mailbox.
Which certifications does SamMatch support for subcontractor matching?
SamMatch matches HUBZone, Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and 8(a) Business Development participants, plus general small business status. Certifications are synced from federal SBA/SBS (formerly DSBS) data and gated on ACTIVE SAM.gov registration.
Can subcontractors message prime contractors first on SamMatch?
No. Subcontractors reply to prime-initiated threads only — this keeps outreach aligned with prime compliance workflows and reduces spam. When a prime contacts you about a matching requirement, you can respond in-app and receive email notifications.
