# GovSentry Open Datasets

Free, openly-licensed datasets for US government-contracting research, published by
[GovSentry](https://govsentry.ai).

- **License:** CC BY 4.0 — free to use, including commercially. **Attribution required** (see *How to cite*).

Use the **config dropdown** in the data viewer to switch between datasets.

## `federal-niche-winnability-2026` — flagship
Every federal NAICS niche (with ≥ 10 tracked awards) scored for **winnability**, derived from 40,000+
federal awards. 287 niches. Each carries a 0–100 **Target Score** for small and large businesses, contractor
concentration, set-aside dollar shares by category, typical bidder counts, active opportunities, and the
12-month recompete pipeline.

`Target Score = 0.5 × openness + 0.5 × edge`, where openness = 100 − the top-3 contractors' dollar share, and
edge = the set-aside work you qualify for (small business) or the full-and-open share (large business). All
inputs are derived from public USAspending & SAM.gov data. Explore it interactively at
https://govsentry.ai/tools/opportunity-finder.

## `us-state-procurement-portals`
Every state & local eProcurement portal we track (50 states + DC), including the **underlying platform vendor**
(Jaggaer, Bonfire, BidNet, Ionwave, …) — a breakdown few sources publish.

## `naics-codes-2022`
NAICS (2022) codes and titles used in US federal contracting.

## `state-contract-stats-2026`
Per-state federal contract activity: historical award counts, dollars, and active opportunities.
