SamMatch
Federal subcontracting intelligence

Pricing for primes and subcontractors

SamMatch Compliance for prime contractors. Free profiles plus optional SamMatch Signals and Pursuit for small businesses — two product lanes on one platform.

Paid subcontractor plans never affect organic prime match ranking — Signals and Pursuit add intelligence and preparation tools, not placement.

What you get after you sign up

Two product lanes — SamMatch Compliance for primes and SamMatch Signals / SamMatch Pursuit for subcontractors. Preview flows show personalized value before you subscribe.

Prime contractor path

  1. 1

    Create your Prime account

    Sign in, choose Prime, and confirm your company role. Subscribe at $249/mo when you are ready for full access.

  2. 2

    Upload an RFP (or enter fields manually)

    Use Requirement Assist to extract PIID, NAICS, goal percentages, and a source snippet from solicitation text — then approve before matching.

  3. 3

    Review ranked matches

    See ACTIVE SAM.gov-registered small businesses scored by fit — not another manual SBS export.

  4. 4

    Reach out and log effort

    Message subs in-app. Every conversation supports your good-faith effort file.

  5. 5

    Track progress by contract

    Use the compliance dashboard to see category coverage across all active PIIDs before ISR / SSR season.

Subcontractor path

  1. 1

    Find your firm in the directory

    Search by legal name or UEI. SamMatch already caches ACTIVE SAM.gov registrants in federal contracting NAICS.

  2. 2

    Claim your free profile

    Verify through the SAM.gov point of contact on file. Your profile stays eligible for organic prime matching at no cost.

  3. 3

    Confirm NAICS and certifications

    Review synced tags (HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB, 8(a)) and add optional CMMC self-attestation if you do DoD work.

  4. 4

    Get alerted when primes post

    When a requirement matches your NAICS and certification, you receive an opportunity alert — included with your free profile.

  5. 5

    Add Signals or Pursuit when ready

    Optional paid plans add award intelligence ($39/mo) or readiness tools and data rooms ($89/mo). Paid plans never boost organic prime match ranking.

Pricing questions

Can I try SamMatch before subscribing?

Yes. Upload one solicitation at the free Requirement Preview — see draft PIID, NAICS, subcontracting goal percentages, total ACTIVE small-business match count, and three ranked results before you pay. No credit card required.

What does Requirement Assist do?

Requirement Assist is SamMatch's RFP upload and field analytics tool for prime contractors. Upload or paste solicitation text and SamMatch extracts draft PIID, primary NAICS, subcontracting goal percentages, a suggested socio-economic category, and a supporting source snippet. Your team reviews and attests accuracy before the requirement enters ranked matching — SamMatch does not auto-post extracted data.

Why is Prime paid but subcontractor access is free?

Primes get ranked matching, the compliance dashboard, Requirement Assist, and outreach tools that replace days of manual SBS search. Subcontractors join free so the verified small business pool stays deep — a larger pool makes Prime subscriptions more valuable for compliance teams.

What is included in the $249/mo Prime subscription?

Unlimited ranked matching against the live directory, Requirement Assist (RFP upload analytics), the FAR 52.219-9 compliance workspace, prime mailbox and outreach logging, SAM.gov + SBS data sync, and a team workspace with the billing owner plus one included teammate. Additional seats are billed separately.

Can I search firms that have not claimed a SamMatch profile?

Yes. Prime matching searches the full cached SAM.gov small business pool — not only claimed listings. Claimed, verified profiles surface first when scores tie, but you still get depth in narrow NAICS codes.

Can I contact companies that have not joined SamMatch?

Yes. Prime subscribers can solicit unclaimed firms directly through the SAM.gov registration contact on file. The email includes your requirement details and a link for the firm to claim its free profile, and the solicitation is logged automatically for your good-faith-effort record. Claimed members are messaged in the in-app mailbox.

Is there an annual plan?

Yes. Prime is available as an annual subscription at $2,490 per year — roughly two months free compared to paying monthly. Choose annual billing when you subscribe from the dashboard.

How much does SamMatch Signals cost for subcontractors?

SamMatch Signals is $39/mo for award and modification alerts, five prime watchlists, and pursuit briefs built from public federal contract data. It does not change organic prime match ranking — your free profile keeps you eligible for prime search results.

What is SamMatch Pursuit and how much does it cost?

SamMatch Pursuit is $89/mo and adds readiness scoring, a past-performance vault, capability statements, and shareable data rooms when you are preparing to pursue a prime award. Pursuit includes Signals; paid plans never pay-to-rank you higher in prime matching.

Do paid subcontractor plans boost my match ranking with primes?

No. Organic prime matching ranks firms by NAICS fit, certifications, and ACTIVE SAM.gov status — not subscription tier. Signals and Pursuit unlock intelligence and preparation tools; they do not increase your ranked position in prime Requirement Assist results.

How do I cancel, and what happens when I do?

Cancel yourself from the Stripe billing portal, which opens from your dashboard — there is no retention call or cancellation email to send. Premium access follows your Stripe subscription, so it stays on until that subscription actually ends rather than cutting out the moment you cancel. Fees already paid are not refunded except where law requires it. Your free profile, directory listing, and saved good-faith-effort records stay exactly as they are.

What happens if a card payment fails?

Nothing immediately. Stripe automatically retries a failed charge over several days, and a single failure does not revoke premium access — entitlement tracks the subscription status, not one declined payment. Update the card in the billing portal during that window and nothing is interrupted.

Who can change the plan or payment method on a team workspace?

Only the workspace owner. Invited teammates get full product access but cannot change the plan, update the card, or cancel — so billing control does not spread with seat count.

Who is actually charging my card?

ReTang LLC, the company behind SamMatch and the merchant of record. Card details are handled entirely by Stripe and never reach SamMatch servers, and your statement will show ReTang LLC rather than SamMatch.
