FAQ
Frequently asked questions

GovClaw is built for small service businesses — janitorial companies, IT providers, field service contractors, consultants, and other firms that want to find government contract opportunities without navigating complex procurement systems. It's also useful for proposal writers and business development teams who track opportunities on behalf of clients.

No. GovClaw is designed to make government contracting more accessible. Features like plain-English summaries, fit scoring, and simplified search filters are built specifically to help businesses that don't have dedicated procurement staff.
