# GovGazette

> The front page of government contracting. Open U.S. federal contract opportunities from SAM.gov — indexed daily, searchable, and readable by humans and agents.

GovGazette is a gazette-style index of SAM.gov contract opportunities. Free pages are the SEO surface. Free accounts (limited time) add one saved search + First Contract readiness checklist. Paid workflow (Pro / Fit Briefs / Team) opens soon — see Pricing. Agents get free, rate-limited JSON on this same origin (no auth).
