Working with the Opportunity Search

Opportunity Search and Saved Searches Overview

Opportunity Search is currently in beta and is designed to help users explore federal opportunities. GovEagle ingests these opportunities daily from SAM.gov, enabling users to save search criteria that are important for their businesses. Users can receive email digests of new matches based on their saved searches.

Accessing the Opportunity Search Landing Page

Users can access the Opportunity Search from the sidebar. The landing page features two main sections:

• All Opportunities: Users can browse the full corpus of ingested opportunities.

• Your Saved Searches: This section displays each saved search as a card, including a summary of its criteria such as NAICS, PSC, set-asides, and keywords.

From each saved search card, users have the following options:

• Open the card to view current matching results.

• Edit the search criteria.

• Star the search to pin it as a favorite.

• Archive the search when it is no longer active for potential restoration later.

  

• Delete the search.

Creating a Saved Search

To create a saved search, users should first access the home page and click into ‘Browse all {x} opportunities’.

Then, they should apply all the filters they want to include on the left side. Afterwards, they should click the button ‘Save as search’. This will pull those filters into the form. However, if they want to override this, that process would involve a few steps:

1. Provide a name for the saved search.

2. Set criteria using the available filters, which include:

   • NAICS codes

   • PSC codes

   • Set-aside types (e.g., small business, 8(a), SDVOSB).

   • Place of performance (states).

   • Notice types (e.g., solicitation, presolicitation, sources sought).

   • Posted date range and response due date range.

   • Keywords where they can include and exclude terms.

3. Save the search. GovEagle will run its matching pipeline against the corpus, ensuring that new opportunities match the saved search criteria daily.

To see more opportunities besides just the current batch, you can select a date range to see opportunities pulled during that time period.

Search Evaluation Criteria

When evaluating opportunities for a saved search, GovEagle considers the saved search filters, the selected company profile(s), and the content library defined by the chosen content scope.

The process begins with an initial scan across available opportunities, analyzing the opportunity title and a portion of the description to determine potential relevance. Based on this assessment, GovEagle performs targeted searches across the selected content library to identify relevant past performance examples, capability statements, and other supporting materials. This information supplements the context provided by the selected company profile(s), allowing GovEagle to develop a more complete understanding of your organization's qualifications and experience.

For opportunities that appear promising, GovEagle typically performs a deeper analysis by reviewing additional opportunity details, including solicitation attachments and more comprehensive opportunity descriptions. This enables a more informed assessment of fit and pursuit potential.

The following table outlines the primary factors that influence opportunity matching and the adjustments you can make to improve results:

If you are not satisfied with the opportunities being evaluated, consider updating your saved search filters. If the opportunity matching analysis does not accurately reflect your organization's capabilities, experience, or priorities, consider updating the associated company profiles. Creating more focused saved searches and associating them with specific company profiles can often improve matches.

Additionally, reviewing and refining the selected content scope can help ensure GovEagle uses the most relevant supporting materials during its analysis. For organizations with multiple business units, subsidiaries, or lines of business, separating content into dedicated folders and scopes can further improve matching accuracy by preventing unrelated information from influencing results.

In the sections below, we will walk through a simple method for updating company profiles using the feedback feature.

Viewing Search Results

Users can open either a saved search or all opportunities to see matching results displayed in a table format via clicking into a saved search or going to a link like https://app.goveagle.com/opportunity-search/search/{id}. The options available from this view include:

• Seeing the opportunities to be pursued.

• Seeing the chat that provided the judgement. You can continue to interact with the chat and actually reference any opportunity within the Opportunity Search through this chat via the notice id.

• Filtering results.

  

• Clicking on a result to view a quick preview of opportunity details.

  

• Following links to the original postings on SAM.gov or eBuy.

  

• Promoting an opportunity into the user’s pipeline.

• Adjusting the fields shown to users. This will be persisted for that individual user.

• Expanding the view of the opportunity and going through the opportunities in full-screen.

• Disagreeing with the Decision Made by GovEagle. By filling this out and sending it to GovEagle through the chat, you can see a preview of how to refine your company profile as well as change the pursue/pass decision of GovEagle.

Email Digests Configuration

Email digests deliver new matching opportunities directly to users’ inboxes on a set schedule. The configuration process involves the following steps:

1. Navigate to Settings → Email Digest (or configure from the Opportunity Search area).

2. Create a digest and choose which saved searches to combine.

3. Select recipients, which can include individual users and/or groups.

4. Optionally preview the digest before saving or send it manually for testing.

These digests are organized per organization, and each can combine multiple saved searches into a single email.
