Last updated: September 2026 (draft)

Draft for attorney review. This page was drafted to describe Federal Awards’ actual practices as accurately as possible, but it is not final legal advice and has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer. Do not treat it as legally binding until that review is complete.

Not a government service

Federal Awards is an independent commercial service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the U.S. government. Opportunity information originates from official public sources - SAM.gov for contracts, Grants.gov for grants. Always verify requirements and deadlines on the issuing agency’s official website before applying.

No outcome guarantees

A “Strong Match” label, a high match score, or a favorable Readiness Report never means you will be selected, funded, or awarded. These are decision-support tools built from official data and the profile you provide - the issuing agency makes the actual decision, based on factors we don’t have visibility into.

AI limitations

Match scores and eligibility gates are computed by deterministic rules, not AI. The paid Readiness Report’s narrative is generated by an AI model instructed to work only from verified facts, but AI-generated text can still be incomplete or contain errors. Review it critically rather than treating it as a final answer.

Not professional advice

Nothing on Federal Awards is legal, tax, financial, or procurement-consulting advice. For decisions with real financial or legal weight, consult a qualified attorney, accountant, or procurement professional.
