- Paste or upload solicitation text — SamMatch extracts draft PIID, primary NAICS, and subcontracting goal percentages.
- Review a suggested socio-economic category and a source snippet pulled from the RFP before anything goes live.
- Approve and attestation flow keeps capture handoffs audit-ready — extracted fields never auto-post.
- Approved requirements flow directly into ranked subcontractor matching on the compliance dashboard.
Ranked small business matches — without the manual SBS search
Every PIID with a subcontracting plan starts the same way: find qualified small businesses, reach out, document the effort. Teams still doing that manually lose days to SBS exports, RFP re-typing, and inbox threads — while primes on SamMatch upload solicitations for field analytics, work ranked matches, and log outreach as they go. Same FAR 52.219-9 obligation. A fraction of the sourcing time.
Requirement Assist — RFP upload analytics
Why primes switch from manual SBS search
Under FAR 52.219-9, large primes must execute subcontracting plans with goals for small disadvantaged, HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB participation. The obligation is fixed — the workflow is not. Manual directory search, spreadsheet tracking, and scattered email threads cost hours per requirement. SamMatch turns each PIID into a ranked match list with ACTIVE SAM.gov verification and in-platform outreach, so your team moves from search to solicitation in one session.
How matching works
- Upload an RFP with Requirement Assist — or enter PIID, target NAICS, and cert categories manually.
- Get ranked matches from the full SAM.gov / SBA Small Business Search (SBS) pool, filtered to ACTIVE registrations with keyword-aware capability scoring.
- See both registered SamMatch members and the broader SBS pool, so you have depth even in narrow NAICS codes.
- Reach out in-platform and keep an outreach log for your good-faith-effort record.
Search by certification
- Find 8(a) subcontractors for Business Development plan categories.
- Find HUBZone subcontractors to meet HUBZone goals.
- Find SDVOSB / veteran-owned subcontractors for service-disabled veteran goals.
- Find WOSB / woman-owned subcontractors for women-owned small business goals.
- Or browse the pool by NAICS code.
Frequently asked questions
How is SamMatch different from SBA Small Business Search (SBS) or SUBNet?
SBS and SUBNet are official directories you search manually. SamMatch ingests that public data and adds requirement-driven ranking, ACTIVE-registration filtering, certification tagging, and outreach logging so primes can source and document subs faster.
What does it cost for a prime contractor?
Prime access is $249/mo for Requirement Assist (RFP upload analytics), ranked matches, dashboards, and outreach tools. Subcontractors join free, which keeps the matching pool deep.
Can SamMatch help with good-faith-effort documentation?
Yes. Outreach initiated through SamMatch is logged and can be compiled into a good-faith-effort report to support your FAR 52.219-9 subcontracting plan and SAM.gov reporting preparation.
