Data sources

Where SourceDeck’s data comes from. Honest status per category.

SourceDeck reads what you bring in and what is publicly available. We do not claim live exclusive feeds we don’t have. Each category below is labeled with a status: live means we run it today, manual import means we accept exports from the source, planned is on the roadmap, customer-driven means the next paying customer who needs it tells us when we build it.

Data source categories

User-provided opportunities and documents live

Paste a SAM.gov URL or upload a solicitation PDF, attachment, or amendment. Your past-performance library, capability statements, and capture notes also live here. This is the primary input to every SourceDeck workflow.

SAM.gov opportunity references live

Public solicitation data on SAM.gov is read directly when you provide an opportunity URL. Source documents are cached and cited; the official source of truth remains SAM.gov.

FPDS-NG award history planned

Federal Procurement Data System — Next Generation. Public award-history lookup planned for incumbent and win-loss analysis on a pursued opportunity. Status: planned, not live.

USAspending federal spend data planned

Public spend lookup by agency, NAICS, recipient. Planned for capture analysis and teaming research.

Agency procurement forecasts customer-driven

Per-agency procurement forecasts (DoD, GSA, VA, DLA, NASA, etc.) are publicly available where the agency publishes them. Built per-agency on customer demand — the next paying customer who needs DLA forecast import tells us when we build it.

Market-intelligence platform exports manual import

Saved-search exports from GovWin IQ, HigherGov, GovTribe, and Bloomberg Government can be ingested as opportunity intake. We do not have a live API into any of those platforms; the import path is manual export. See integrations.

CRM / pipeline data manual import / customer-driven

HubSpot, Salesforce, Airtable opportunities and contacts can be imported. Push back to your CRM is on customer-driven scoping.

Public web research live where configured

Public-web search (SerpAPI) is used for opportunity context: agency news, prior incumbent press, recurring solicitation history. Configured per workspace.

Contact enrichment live where configured

Public-record + commercial enrichment (Apollo, Hunter as fallback) is used for stakeholder graph entries: program leads, teaming-partner contacts. Used per the procurement-safe stakeholder posture below; never used for outreach to contracting officers.

Procurement-safe stakeholder posture

SourceDeck’s stakeholder layer is reference intelligence, not a spam engine.

The stakeholder graph identifies who is in the buying constellation around a specific opportunity and what role they play. It is reference intelligence to help your team decide and act — not a contact list to mass-outreach.

SourceDeck should not be used to bypass solicitation communication rules.

Outreach must follow FAR, agency instructions, and procurement communication windows. SourceDeck’s capture-action prompts are FAR-aware: if a solicitation is in restricted communication, the recommended action is “submit through the official mechanism,” not “email the CO.”

Reviewing for procurement?
