Teams tracking public sector projects often end up bouncing between systems and piecing data together by hand.

Jason Routson, Founder + CEO of Circool, connected GovSpend's MCP directly to his workflow instead.

"I've been using the MCP to work with GovSpend data, and it's unbelievably productive and accurate... It's beyond time saving, it ensures we key in on quality over quantity with our knowledge of K-12 projects."

For Jason, that means K-12 project data lives in one place, and his team spends less time hunting for it and more time acting on it.

For public-sector teams selling consumer goods and products, like office or janitorial supplies, to governments, price is often the deciding factor.

And because margins are thin, bids are won on fractions of a cent per unit.

That's where our new partnership with BidDesk Analytics comes in. BidDesk breaks a purchase order down to the specific products and quantities behind it, so customers get SKU-level pricing and competitor data on top of what GovSpend already shows them.

Varsity Tutors for Schools ended service just as districts were preparing for the 2026-27 school year, leaving active tutoring demand without its former provider. GovSpend data shows where district spending, incumbent relationships, and current buying signals may point to replacement opportunities for education vendors.

Ben Hills has spent his career around RFPs. His grandfather worked proposals at Lockheed Martin for decades. Ben is now CEO of Iris, an AI-native platform for RFP response, and a GovSpend partner.

In our latest blog, he shares what he has learned about the evolving public sector sales space while building the platform:

- RFP volume is doubling year over year. Vendors who treat AI as a way to answer more RFPs faster are losing to vendors who use the time it saves to go deeper on fewer opportunities.

- Buyers notice the difference between a response that was actually written for them and one that was recycled. That gap is now the main thing separating winners from the rest.

- Some agencies are already using software to shortlist vendors on quality instead of a quick yes or no. One agency cut its evaluation time from three months to under two weeks, without removing the human reviewers from the process.

Heading to NIGP this weekend? Find us at Booth #911.

If you're a public sector buyer, we'll show you what similar agencies paid and who they bought from. If you're selling into the public sector, we'll show you what's coming before the RFP does.

We'll be sharing how you can access our unparalleled data, built from 15 years of direct agency relationships, inside the tools you already use: CRM, Slack, or straight through our MCP Server.

Trip Colden, Adam Fehd, Chris Finn, Pedro Hurtado, Jamie Dolnick, Lisa Fisher, and Erika Flynn will be at the booth. Stop by and see what our data advantage can do for you.

Varsity Tutors for Schools shut down last week. The signal was visible in the spending data years before the announcement.

District payments to the provider peaked above $28 million in 2023, then declined steadily as pandemic relief funds dried up and schools started asking for proof of outcomes instead of promises. GovSpend data tracked that decline the entire way, and The74 used it to report on the collapse.

This is the pattern we see across public sector vendors. Spending trends shift before press releases do. A vendor relationship that looks stable on paper can already be eroding in the purchase orders.

Teams who watch government spending data closely see these shifts as they happen, not after the headline. That's the difference between reacting to market change and anticipating it.

RFP activity comes in waves — so what do the smartest teams do during the slow periods? They put their detective hat on. 🔍

In last week's webinar with our partners at Iris, GovSpend's CEO Nate Haskins outlined his recommended strategy: Use quieter periods to back-test incumbency, study expired bids, understand how buyers have historically purchased, and get pre-RFP signals so you're already positioned when the opportunity hits.

What if you could see an RFP, a competitor's expiring contract, and a grant signal — all scored for your fit — in one place? Then launch a full AI-powered response with one click? This is the GovSpend + Iris workflow, changing how teams win government contracts.

In last week's webinar, GovSpend CEO Nate Haskins walked through GovSpend's Opportunities module, which scores and surfaces RFPs, expiring competitor contracts, grant signals, and meeting intelligence in one pane of glass. Attendees then saw how clicking 'Add to Iris' launches an AI-driven go/no-go analysis and full response drafting workflow in the Iris platform.

Jacob Carrillo, Solutions Engineer at GovSpend, walks through the GovSpend Slack app in our latest use case video.

He asks it about an open RFP for flight simulation systems at Dallas ISD and gets the title, due date, agency documents, and a direct link in seconds. Then he asks a follow-up: any POs from Dallas ISD tied to flight simulators. GovSpend surfaces the answer. Redbird Flight Simulations, $21,000, with the incumbent and pricing right there.

No new tabs. No pulling reports. Just a question, asked where your team already works.
