FedScope help center
Find federal opportunities and teaming partners by asking a question — and see the official records behind every answer.
FedScope answers questions about federal contracting using the government's own records — who won what, who works with whom, and what is open now. You ask in plain English; FedScope answers and shows you the records it used.
FedScope is in beta
FedScope works and answers from real federal records, but it is still early. Access is opening in stages, features are still being added, and you will find rough edges.
Beta costs nothing — payments are not open yet, so nothing can charge you. That also means paid features cannot be bought right now: if your account does not already include one, it stays locked until we announce pricing. Your dashboard shows what you have.
What using FedScope looks like
- 1Ask in plain English
“Who has done similar work for the VA?” No filters or search syntax to learn.
- 2Read the answer
You get companies or opportunities, plus what FedScope assumed to get there.
- 3Check the proof
Every claim links to the actual federal record it came from. Click through before you trust it.
- 4Do something with it
Save a partner, watch an opportunity, or add it to a brief for your team.
You do not need to be a data person
FedScope is built for capture managers, business development leads, and small-business owners — not analysts. A few things worth knowing up front:
- There is nothing to learn. Ask the way you would ask a colleague. No filters, no keyword tricks, no query language.
- You can always see why. Every answer links to the federal records behind it. If FedScope cannot back a claim up with a record, it says so instead of guessing.
- FedScope is not the government. It is an independent company that reads public government records. For anything with money or a deadline attached, confirm at the official source before you act.
