Win the subcontract, before the prime starts dialing.
Every weekday morning, you get one short brief: a federal prime that just won work in your trade and your region, an estimated slice of that work that could flow to you, the right person at the prime to contact, and a draft intro email you can send as-is.
We watch every federal prime win every day and only forward the ones the public record actually backs. Weak matches get cut, not softened.

Who it's for
Built for the small trade sub, not the prime-tracking buyer.
The big tracking tools tell you what 's about to be bid. The day a contract is awarded, the chart goes quiet — and that's exactly when a small sub has the shot.
Pre-award tools
Solicitations, drafts, sources sought.
Useful while the RFP is open; the signal disappears the day the award is made.
Tributary
The prime wins, your brief appears.
Recipient, place of performance, a dollar range, the prime's small-business liaison, and a drafted intro email — before sunrise.
How it works
Four quiet jobs, one brief a morning.
Tributary reads open federal award records, picks the ones that match your trade, your geography, and any certifications you carry — then packages what you need to reach the prime first thing.
- 01
We watch the awards
Each evening, Tributary reads the new federal prime wins of the day from open public records.
- 02
We score the row
NAICS, place of performance, certification overlap, and the description the prime filed. A row only enters your brief if the public record backs each input — weak matches are cut, not softened.
- 03
We figure a dollar range
We use past federal sub-award history (FSRS) to compute an estimated slice that could flow to a sub like you. Ranges are bands, not bids, and we don't extrapolate from one data point.
- 04
You get a brief by sunrise
One short brief per match, in your inbox by 06:00 local: recipient, place, range, contact at the prime, and a drafted intro you can send.

Open the seeded sample, before you sign up.
The same matcher, the same gate, and the same source-link layer authentic subscribers see — surfaced from a seed fixture so you can inspect the format before you commit.
- Tier chip on every row — outreach-eligible, brief-only, or suppressed.
- Source-link badges — USASpending + SAM.gov, opening the public record in a new tab.
- Work-package evidence chips — NAICS, PSC, place of performance, and award date.
- Range copy— the "may be subject to" qualifier when a solicitation value surfaced, italic undisclosed when it did not.

Range withheld — no solicitation value surfaced for this award; verify with the prime before quoting.
Why both branches are shown
The seeded tier-mix fixture deliberately mixes rows with and without a solicitation value, so the "may be subject to" and italic undisclosed branches are both reachable on a single page.
The seeded sample mirrors the live feed — same matcher, same gate. Authentication required to read the full content.
A brief, in the wild
What lands by 06:00.
Here's a real-looking system-design prime that just won work at a Virginia Army installation — sorted under a small-business set-aside you could bid.
Keystone Federal Services, JV
Award W912DY-26-C-0041 · US Army Corps of Engineers · small-business set-aside · NAICS 541512
Work is being performed at: Fort Belvoir, VA
$1.4M–$2.1M
A dollar range, figured from past federal data about how much of jobs like this typically flow to subcontractors.
How we figure the dollar range
NAICS prefix is matched to a sector ratio drawn from band.ts— services typically 12–14%, specialty-trade construction 32%, IT services 14%, R&D 18%, then transport 16% and admin / waste 22%. On top of that base, a set-aside weight (SDVOSB / 8(a) at 1.10, WOSB / HUBZone at 1.05, SBA 1.00) and an agency-family multiplier (DoD / Navy 1.05, civilian 0.95, VA 1.00, GSA 0.90) are applied to the prime's public award value. The result is then snapped into a ±15% wide band before we surface it.
Why the band is conservative: every input is public, the band is a sanity-check for your outreach — not a bid.
FSRS is the only historical source we use for the band; we don't extrapolate from one data point.

Illustrative bands; the production brief is recomputed from band.ts on the day of the award. What we suppress or label rather than present as fact: a trade inferred from NAICS alone, unverified prime-side contacts, sub-dollar estimates presented as if they were commits, and unsupported compliance or past-performance claims.

Call for pricing
- Everything in Self-serve
- A subscriber-approved intro queue — every introduction is reviewed before any send
- Pause + bounce controls
- Direct line to the team running your cohort
Send happens only after you approve each intro, and not before the row's confidence is corroborable. We vet every addressed intro before the queue holds it. Gated pilot — assisted outreach isn't automatic on signup; we're running it with a small cohort first. Pricing is set per cohort once we know what the work takes.
