    Hey HN, I built GovConToday (https://govcontoday.com) to solve a problem I kept hearing from small businesses chasing federal contracts: SAM.gov is painful to search daily. GovConToday scans SAM.gov every morning, matches new and closing-soon opportunities to your NAICS codes and preferred states, and sends a digest email with AI-generated summaries and bid/no-bid scoring. Free plan: 5 matched contracts/day with deadline tracking. Pro ($29/mo): 15 matches, AI scoring, weekly intelligence briefing, set-aside filtering. Stack: Next.js 15, Supabase, Groq (Llama 3.1 8B…

    I've long been into finding deals on government auction sites (seizures, surplus sales etc.) - right now for example San Diego DHS is selling 26 tons of lead shot, with bidding starting at $1,000 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It has historically been extremely tedious though: scanning dozens of janky sites which have interminable page loading times; back buttons take you all the way back to the homepage etc. The site I built - GovAuctions - lets you search every government surplus auction at once. You can filter by location, category, and price, save items to a watchlist, and get alerts when new auctions…

    Hi HN, I built this side project earlier this week. It executes an English auction on Solana with a reserve price of 0.1 SOL. Auction winner gets control of a Codex editor. Auction losers get refunded (minus a <$0.01 processing fee). The Codex agent operates in a sandbox and can only output HTML&#x2F;JS&#x2F;CSS. The project is open-source: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;neelsomani&#x2F;the-daily-auction

    Yo HN - I built BidSonar, a free index of UK & EU public-sector contracts and grants, which today I just shipped an MCP server for. The data is all public, scattered across a bunch of gov portals - I built the platform a couple years back as an aggregator. I've been using the MCP side to keep an eye on contract&#x2F;grant opportunities for my services business and our clients which I'm finding (not surprisingly) more effective than navigating the traditional UI. Data's under OGL and the EU TED reuse notice; not affiliated with any procurement body - free to use, you just need an account. For…
