The federal government is required by law to set aside $35 billion every year for veteran-owned businesses. Most of it goes to whoever has a team watching SAM.gov full-time — and that's not the veteran who's building something real while running the whole operation himself. Vet Intel levels that field.
SAM.gov swept every week — thousands of opportunities analyzed per client
Congress mandated it. The law is clear: a percentage of every federal contract dollar must go to veteran-owned businesses. $35 billion a year is set aside specifically because you raised your right hand. It is owed to you.
But the procurement system wasn't built for the veteran running a two-person shop. It was built for companies with business development teams — people who do nothing but watch SAM.gov eight hours a day, decode solicitation language, and get their capability statements in front of contracting officers before the window closes. That's 10+ hours a week the small operator simply doesn't have.
So the money flows — just not to you. It flows to whoever showed up.
Vet Intel is the juggernaut that changes that equation. Every day our engine does what a full BD team does — scans everything, scores it, cuts the noise — so that by Monday morning, every veteran with a SAM registration has the same intelligence that billion-dollar primes pay entire departments to build. Under 5 minutes to read. Zero hours of searching.
Every week, Vet Intel sweeps SAM.gov and runs every opportunity through Claude AI — scored against your specific profile. Every Monday, the ranked brief lands in your Google Sheet. Every day in between, we're watching deadlines, monitoring your SAM registration, and alerting you the moment something needs your attention.
Every week our engine pulls every new SAM.gov posting, modification, and set-aside flag — filtered to your NAICS codes, certifications, and target agencies. Nothing posted while you were running your business gets missed.
Claude AI scores each opportunity against your capability profile — fit, competition level, incumbent risk, and award probability. Every Monday your ranked report lands in your Google Sheet. You see a prioritized list, not a firehose.
Deadline closing in 72 hours? You get an alert. SAM.gov registration expiring? We notify you at 60, 30, and 7 days. Every month, a full ROI report lands in your inbox. On any BID opportunity, one click generates a complete tactical bid brief — written by AI, ready to act on.
Every BID opportunity in your report has a button. Click it and Claude AI produces a complete tactical brief in seconds — competitive positioning, the key requirements you need to nail, how to handle the risks, and a step-by-step action plan before the deadline. Not a template. Not a checklist. A brief written specifically for your company against that specific contract.
An expired SAM.gov registration means you cannot legally receive a federal contract award. Contracting officers are required to reject you — no exceptions, no grace period. Veterans lose contracts they've already won because nobody was watching the clock. Vet Intel monitors your registration and sends you alerts at 60, 30, and 7 days out — with step-by-step renewal instructions — so that date never catches you.
Vet Intel delivers the kind of market intelligence that used to require a full business development team. Now it runs automatically — tuned to your profile, your certifications, and your target market.

Government contracting intelligence has always existed — it just cost more than most veteran-owned businesses could justify. GovWin IQ starts at $10,000 a year and doesn't have AI scoring, deadline alerts, or a bid package generator. Vet Intel does. And your first 14 days are free — no card required.

When you win a contract using Vet Intel intelligence, we ask for 1% of the award value — honor-based, self-reported, capped at $25K per contract. No invoices. No verification. Just veterans helping veterans. If Vet Intel didn't contribute to your win, don't pay it. It's that simple.
5% of all Vet Intel revenue is donated quarterly to Warriors & Quiet Waters — clearing the waitlist for fly-fishing retreats for combat veterans battling PTSD. Every subscription directly funds a brother or sister's healing.
Twenty-plus years in federal aviation and defense — from the USAF in 2002 through 20+ combat deployments supporting advanced aircraft operations worldwide, then into the inside of the defense industry's largest prime contractors — where I watched them run market intelligence that veteran-owned businesses never even knew existed.
Veterans were losing contracts not because they couldn't do the work — but because the information was buried, the windows closed fast, and nobody had time to watch it all. The big primes paid entire teams to track every SAM.gov posting before the deadline moved. That imbalance always felt wrong. Vet Intel is what happens when you decide to take that advantage away from them and hand it to the veterans who earned it.
We took the technology the "big guys" have used for decades and pointed it directly at the contracts veterans are owed. Veterans first. Every time.
"I had no idea contracts like this existed. Vet Intel found me three veteran set-asides in my first week that I would have completely missed."
"The AI scoring is the game-changer. I used to spend 4 hours a week on SAM.gov. Now I spend 20 minutes reviewing a prioritized list and get back to running my business."
"Won a $340K contract in my second month on Sitrep. The strategy call talking points alone are worth the subscription."
