About us
WakeyWakey is a free search for U.S. federal contract notices. Easy, fun, and free. One place for the search, the notice, and who won similar work.
How the pieces connect

Search
Type a word, a camp, a city, or a state. Commas search each one: design, marketing, Camp Lejeune, Texas. Clear sits inside the bar and wipes it.
The logo, and Opportunities, open the newest notices in the file. No keyword and no NAICS. The newest posted day is first, and the days before it follow, so you can scroll and window-shop. It is the public SAM file, rebuilt about once a day, not a live feed to the second.
A search you type starts on notices posted in the last week that are due within two weeks. Posted and due sit in the strip under the search and stay put while the list slides underneath. Pick a wider window when you want one.
A single word also pulls the obvious relatives. Fuel includes gasoline, diesel, petroleum, propane, tanker, and refuel. Trucking includes truck, freight, carrier, hauling, and trailer. The page says “Also included,” so you can see why a notice is there. It does not pull every vehicle or aircraft unless you search those words.
The last searches stay under the bar. Click one to run it again. A search you name is kept there too. Set-asides, keywords, and words you do not want, like “pens” while you search “pen testing,” open from the tools menu. They do not stay on the page.
The notice
Each row is the title, the agency, and the deadline. Hover a row to peek, or open it. The public notice text is first. Agency, solicitation, NAICS, and PSC are clickable, so one notice leads to the others like it. The solicitation number opens the posting on SAM.gov.
The file can trail SAM.gov by about a day. If the wording matters, use the SAM.gov page.
Who won similar work
On a notice, the blue block asks USAspending for recent awards with the same NAICS. Newest first. If no company is named, the block still shows, so you can see that nobody is listed yet. It is not a recommendation and it is not the winner of that exact notice unless the file says so.
Save, check, and send
Each row has three controls beside the NAICS code. Check marks it for a message. Save keeps it. Share copies that one notice.
Check the ones a friend should see, then choose Copy as one message. You get one numbered list: title, agency, NAICS, due date, and link. Paste it into one text. WakeyWakey does not email anyone.
On the notice itself, Share copies the link. Copy for the team copies one line with the title, NAICS, due date, contact, and the SAM.gov link.
Saved, on this browser
Save sends two lines up to My Saved. The name hops when they land, and the number shows how many notices you have kept. They stay in this browser. There is no account and no password.
Saved shows the title first and the solicitation number under it. The same check and share controls are there, so you can send several saved notices as one message later. Leave the page and come back. They are still here.
Free
Reading notices and awards is free. This site is not affiliated with SAM.gov, GSA, or the U.S. government.
