Stop searching for government work. Let your agent search for you.
fishbait learns what your company does, where you work, and what projects make sense for you. Then it checks government bid sources every day and sends you the opportunities worth reviewing — each one with the reasons it fits.
Built for businesses that don’t have a government business-development department. Federal coverage nationwide, plus Louisiana state and local bid notices — and growing.

How much time do you spend searching for public work?
What happens to the opportunities posted on the days you don’t look?
Capable companies miss government work every week — not because they can’t do it, but because nobody has time to check SAM.gov and dozens of state, parish, and city procurement sites every day. fishbait takes that job off your payroll.
Government bid alerts tell everybody what was posted. fishbait tells you what matters to your company.
Notifications by themselves are a commodity. fishbait adds the three layers that turn a flood of postings into a short list you can act on.
Qualification
Every opportunity is checked against your real capabilities, service territory, certifications, and project size before you ever see it. What clearly doesn’t qualify never reaches you.
Personalization
Your agent is built around your company, not a keyword list. It knows what you do, where you’ll work, what size of project fits, and what you don’t want.
Explanation
No mystery scores. Every match comes with plain-language reasons you can verify against the official solicitation — and the concerns you should know about before you spend time on it.
You describe your company once. Your agent does the searching every day.
-
Tell your agent about your company
Your website, capability statement, NAICS codes, certifications, where you’ll work, the project sizes you want, and the work you don’t want. Your agent reads your documents and proposes a profile; nothing becomes a rule until you approve it.
-
Your agent checks government sources every day
Federal opportunities from SAM.gov nationwide, plus Louisiana state and local public bid notices. New and changed opportunities are standardized, de-duplicated, and compared against your profile.
-
You get a short list, with reasons
A daily or weekly briefing by email and a dashboard with only the opportunities worth your time. Mark each one Interested or Not for us and your agent learns your judgment.
An agent that works for your company, not a website you have to work.
Daily checks of every covered source
Your agent never takes a day off. Every source we cover is checked automatically, and coverage keeps expanding.
A short list, not a flood
Briefings arrive daily or weekly, on your schedule, and never repeat an unchanged item. When a deadline moves or a document is added, you hear about it.
Reasons with every match
Why it fits, what it requires, when it’s due, and what might be a problem — each reason traceable to real information, not made up.
“Not for us” makes it smarter
Too far, too small, wrong agency, wrong service — tell your agent why, and after a couple dozen decisions it knows more about your business than any saved search could.
Ask your agent
Ask in plain language what an opportunity requires, why it matched, what the solicitation actually says, or how one job compares with another.
Your dashboard
Track what you’re pursuing from interested to submitted to won, and see exactly which sources are covered and when each was last updated.
The business owner who would pursue government work if finding it were easier.
fishbait is for companies with real commercial capability — usually 5 to 250 people — where the owner, president, estimator, or business-development person is already doing too many jobs. If you work in an industry government buys from regularly, your agent is built for you.

Coverage you can see, never overstated.
Federal opportunities are covered nationwide through SAM.gov. Louisiana state and local public bid notices — parishes, municipalities, school systems, and universities — are covered through the statewide public-notice publication. Additional states and local sources are added deliberately, and the product shows you exactly which sources are covered and when each was last updated.
Every source we cover is checked automatically, and we continually expand coverage.
| Scope | Sources | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Federal, all states | SAM.gov contract opportunities | Active |
| Louisiana | State, parish, municipal, school-system, and university bid notices | Active |
| Additional states | State and local procurement sources, added one at a time | Expanding |
What fishbait is, and what it isn’t.
fishbait is a research and matching service. It finds the opportunities you would otherwise miss and explains why they fit. Some things it deliberately does not do:
Not a government agency
fishbait is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for any government body. Opportunities come from public sources, and the official solicitation always controls.
Not a bid-submission service
Your agent finds and explains opportunities. It does not submit bids, represent you to any agency, or decide for you. You stay in charge of every pursuit.
Not a guarantee
Nothing in fishbait promises that you will win, be awarded, or profit from any contract. It promises that a capable company will stop missing the work that fits it.
A one-time agent setup, then a flat monthly subscription.
Your agent is built, calibrated against real recent opportunities, and approved by you before it goes live. After that, one monthly subscription covers federal opportunities, with optional state and local coverage add-ons. No long-term contract — cancel any time from your billing page.
All fees are quoted and billed in U.S. dollars, with payments processed securely by Stripe. Ask us for current pricing and we’ll send it the same day.

Send us your website and the state you work in. We’ll run your company through fishbait and email you a few current government opportunities worth a look — no sales presentation required. You see the results first.
