USE CASE:
Where public awards differs for NIH awards
What follows is the honest set of ways to get public awards on NIH awards, including the ones that are not ours. Mamba Labs writes Apify actors for work like this, and Public Award Monitor is the one that reads NIH awards.
What is actually going wrong
NIH awards skew public awards, for a reason specific to them. Any public awards method has to survive this: NIH awards publishes every award, on a schedule, in a portal built for procurement officers. What catches people out on NIH awards, public awards included: award date and delivery date can be a year apart, and only one is the buying window. Public Award Monitor carries 3 ready made setups for public awards on NIH awards.
Why it matters
The portals carrying NIH awards were built for procurement officers rather than for anyone selling, which is why the data is free and invisible.
Traditional Search Tools
- The awarding body's own feed, for NIH awards. Free, narrow, and reliable if you sell into one sector.
- The awarding body's own announcements. Agencies publish winners and most have a mailing list. Free, narrow, and reliable if you sell into one sector.
- GovWin, Tussell or a procurement intelligence vendor. They aggregate the portals and add pipeline data on unawarded tenders. Priced for companies whose whole business is public sector.
- Search the portals. USASpending, Contracts Finder, TED, the NIH reporter. All free and all searchable. Each has its own interface and none of them will remember your search next week.
