Sweetspot - Introducing State, Local, and Education contracts

TL;DR

Sweetspot has added 200,000+ state, local, and education (SLED) contracts that span 17,000+ agencies across 47 states.

The Problem

Currently, SLED contract opportunities are spread out across thousands of different city, state, municipality, and county websites. Although some tools have made progress in aggregating this data, the bid-matching process remains suboptimal. These tools often rely solely on the brief descriptions provided, rather than analyzing the actual files and documents uploaded by the government.

The problem is that these descriptions are frequently missing important details or are too vague about the contract's specific requirements. As a result, small businesses are forced to manually review each opportunity's documentation to determine if it's a good fit for them. After conducting hundreds of market research calls, we reached the conclusion that this process is too time-consuming and inefficient.

Here’s an example of a contract from Maryland asking for a Java Engineer with little to no information in the description. Since it doesn’t even mention the word software once, it is nearly impossible to discover this opportunity easily:

Our Solution

Sweetspot has leveraged AI to track and aggregate opportunity data across hundreds of disparate SLED data sources, with our coverage growing daily.

Our AI doesn’t simply match keywords. It performs deep semantic analysis on over 20 billion tokens from every opportunity’s associated files and documents.

Using this information, it then generates a detail-rich description based on these files, and highlights exactly where its relevant to your search query along with providing you the file matches.

For example, here’s the same Maryland contract that was previously shown. You can clearly see how our AI was able to enrich this search result and present it as a viable opportunity to go after:

Once you’ve found a SLED contract you’d like to pursue, you can then use existing Sweetspot tools to analyze the RFx, estimate your probability of winning, assign tasks to teammates, and draft a proposal response.
