What is contractlinx
contractlinx is built for diverse suppliers who already do the work, but get crowded out of the opportunities. Four engines, one playbook: position before pursuit, then route, then surface, then close the gap.
Position
Your profile, NAICS, certs, service area, bonding, past performance. Every engine reads from here.
Find
SAM.gov, Grants.gov, state portals, pulled daily, filtered to your NAICS, one inbox replaces ten browser tabs.
Match
Your rating against every procurement path. Federal, state, defense, F100 supplier diversity, scored and ranked.
Win
Diff your profile against winning vendors. Cert gaps, geo gaps, head-to-head, every advantage with a dollar number.
Why we built this
Existing tools either list diverse suppliers and hope a buyer finds them, or they charge enterprise primes thousands a year for opportunity tracking that ignores diversity set-asides. Most small diverse suppliers we talk to use SAM.gov plus a spreadsheet plus a copywriter, because the paid alternatives weren't built for them.
We built the layer that didn't exist.
The algorithm
We don't believe in black-box "AI matching." When a contract shows up in your inbox you should know exactly why we sent it. When we tell you to register on a portal you should know exactly what signals in your profile point there. When we say a competitor has a leg up, you see the dollar math. Four engines do that work, each transparent, each weighted, each yours to read.
Position, profile
Your NAICS codes, certifications, service area, bonding, business licenses, capability statement, past performance. Position is not a vibe, it's a structured profile the other three engines query. Get this right and the rest tightens automatically.
Find, livelinx
Daily syncs from SAM.gov, Grants.gov, state portals, and (next) paid aggregators for private corporate bids. Filtered to your NAICS, your service states, your set-asides, and every opp gets a weighted 0-100 match score with the reasons shown.
Match, leadlinx
Most diverse suppliers are registered on two or three portals when they should be on eight to ten. We score every procurement path, federal, state, defense, F100 supplier diversity, against your profile and rank them. The exact next portal to register on, and why.
Win, pathlinx
Now that you know where to go and what to chase, what's actually stopping you from winning? We diff your profile against the winning vendors in your NAICS. Every cert and state they have that you don't carries a dollar number. Ranked action plan, head-to-head sheets, win-probability lift.
Position is the structured profile every other engine reads from. Match rates that position against every procurement path and tells you where to register next. Find pulls relevant opportunities from those paths into one scored inbox. Win closes the loop: where the competition has a leg up, and what it's worth to close that gap. The four engines replace the "register on SAM and hope" approach most suppliers default to.
The approach
Most diverse-supplier playbooks confuse activity with progress: register everywhere, bid on everything, hope volume turns into wins. It doesn't. Broad strokes burn months on responses that were never going to land, and crowd your inbox with noise.
We invert it. Get positioned first, on the right eight or ten portals, registered with the right agencies, visible in the right NAICS. Then pursue only the contracts that actually fit your position. Targeted effort. Real results. Less burnout.
Position. Find. Match. Win. That's the whole playbook, and the order matters.
Your profile, structured, NAICS, certs, service area, bonding. The signal every other engine reads from.
Daily syncs surface relevant opportunities into one inbox, scored against your profile with reasons shown.
leadlinx rates your position against every procurement path and tells you where to register next.
Diff your profile against winning vendors. Cert and geo gaps quantified, every move with a dollar number.
How we work
The user is competent at their craft. Our job is to unblock them from bureaucracy, not explain procurement back to them.
If it sounds like a consultant, we rewrite. 'Find contracts that match your business', not 'identify procurement opportunities aligned to your capability profile.'
The signal-green X in our mark is rationed precisely. When it appears, on a high-match badge, a primary action, it carries weight.
