Vesper vs GovCon Radar

Vesper is a working tool for people who follow Florida state government professionally — lobbyists, government-affairs teams, and the companies that sell to the state. It answers the questions that decide your week. What went out to bid this morning. Which contracts come up for renewal before session. What an agency actually paid a vendor, versus what the budget appropriated. Who represents you, and who runs each agency. IN THE APP Ask — a question in plain English, answered with its public sources attached; keep asking in the same conversation. Bids — every open solicitation from MyFloridaMarketPlace, closing soonest first, with what changed since your last visit and a plain-English summary drawn from the solicitation documents. Spending — the state's purchase orders and contracts, money layers kept separate; each company's page: what it sells, to whom, and who lobbies for it; the state's buying vehicles, how Florida buys, and each agency's technology. Recompete — contracts and renewals before they come back to market. Budget and LBR — the General Appropriations Act line by line with its provisos, and the agencies' budget requests. Legislature — all 160 seats: committees, sponsorship and member projects, and who represents any Florida address. Executive — the executive branch by name and by job, with this week's payroll changes. Lobby, Record and Law — the lobbying registry, Florida Channel hearings transcribed and searchable, and the Florida Statutes and Administrative Code. Saved — keep what you're tracking, in sync with vesperfl.com. HOW IT WORKS Vesper reads the state's own systems — MyFloridaMarketPlace, FACTS, Transparency Florida, the Florida Fiscal Portal — and keeps them current. Figures are shown as the state publishes them, and where two systems disagree, Vesper says so rather than quietly picking one. Browsing open solicitations needs no account. Everything else is by invitation: request an account at vesperfl.com. Vesper sells nothing, in the app or on the web.

GovCon Radar reads every federal contract opportunity posted to SAM.gov and scores it against your company profile, so you see the handful worth your time instead of a thousand notices that aren't. Describe your company once: NAICS codes, set-aside eligibility, geography, and a plain-English capability statement. GovCon Radar matches new opportunities against that profile through the day and explains every score, showing which factors matched and which didn't. When an opportunity looks promising, ask for a brief. You get a plain-language summary of what the agency is buying, the key requirements, and an honest go or pass recommendation. A pass that saves you a wasted bid week is worth as much as a win. Save opportunities to read offline, get a push notification when the daily digest lands, and keep your pipeline moving from your phone. The free tier is genuinely useful: real matches from your real profile, every day. Your capability statement is never used to train models, never shared across tenants, and never appears in logs.
