Overview

## What SCOUT for Federal Contracting does

SCOUT is aimed at government contracting teams. It searches open federal and state, local, and education solicitations, and sizes a market using award data from USASpending.

Beyond current opportunities, it tracks recompete pipelines, so contracts approaching expiry can be identified ahead of the next bid cycle. GAO protest records are available for review, and the app can assemble briefings on an executive agency.

Example requests cover spending in a category with its top awardees and trend line, IT services contracts expiring within eighteen months, and open cybersecurity work across both federal and SLED buyers.

### Who it is for

Business development and capture staff at firms selling to federal, state, or local government.

### What stands out

Live solicitation search and historical award and protest data come from the same place, so pipeline work and market sizing share a source.

## Where SCOUT for Federal Contracting is listed

SCOUT for Federal Contracting is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. PrimeRFP has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.

ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
