New: ContractRadar Now Monitors State and Local Government Contracts

Until now, ContractRadar focused exclusively on federal contracts from SAM.gov. Today we’re expanding beyond the federal level: ContractRadar now monitors state and local government contract opportunities — starting with Delaware, New York City, and San Francisco.

Why state and local?

Federal contracts get the most attention, but state and local governments collectively spend over $2 trillion on procurement every year. For many small businesses, state and local contracts are actually a better starting point than federal work — the contracts tend to be smaller, the competition less intense, and the procurement processes simpler.

The problem is the same one that exists at the federal level: opportunities are scattered across dozens of different portals, each with its own search interface, terminology, and update schedule. If you’re a small business trying to monitor contracts in your state plus a couple of cities, you’re checking multiple websites every day. Most people give up after a week.

ContractRadar now does this for you. The same AI matching that finds relevant federal contracts on SAM.gov & SUBNet now scans state and local procurement portals too. One profile, one daily email, every level of government.

Available now

Starting today, ContractRadar monitors opportunities from:

• Delaware — Statewide contracts from the Delaware Government Opportunities portal
• New York City — City procurement opportunities from NYC’s contracting portal, one of the largest municipal procurement systems in the country
• San Francisco — City and county contracts from San Francisco’s procurement system

These sources are included in every ContractRadar subscription at no additional cost. If your business profile matches a state or local opportunity, it shows up in your daily email alongside your federal matches. No extra setup required.

Coming soon

We’re actively working on integrating more state and local procurement portals. Next on the list:

• California
• Virginia
• Maryland
• Georgia
• Washington State
• Colorado

We’re prioritizing states and cities with well-structured procurement portals that allow reliable, automated monitoring. See the full coverage map to check what’s live today. If there’s a state or city you’d like to see added, let us know — it directly influences what we integrate next.

How it works

Nothing changes about your workflow. ContractRadar pulls opportunities from each source daily, runs them through the same AI matching engine that handles your federal results, and includes any matches in your daily email. Each opportunity links directly to the source portal so you can review the full contract and respond.

State and local matches show up alongside federal matches in your opportunities dashboard too, clearly labeled with the source so you can tell at a glance whether you’re looking at a SAM.gov posting, a SUBNet subcontract, a Delaware state contract, a SF contract, or a New York City RFP.

Get free help from your local APEX Accelerator

If you’re a small business interested in government contracting, there’s a free resource you should know about: APEX Accelerators (formerly known as Procurement Technical Assistance Centers, or PTACs). These are federally funded programs — backed by the Department of Defense and state or local partners — that provide free one-on-one counseling, bid assistance, registration help, and training to help small businesses win government contracts.

Here are the APEX Accelerators for each of the regions we now cover:

• Delaware: Delaware APEX Accelerators
• New York City: NYC SBS APEX Accelerator
• San Francisco / Northern California: Norcal APEX Accelerator

These are completely free resources. If you’re new to government contracting or want help navigating the procurement process, reach out to your local APEX Accelerator. You can also use the national APEX Accelerator finder to locate the office nearest you, regardless of which state you’re in.
