Daily government bid digest

Every morning it reads the public bid feeds, ranks each notice by how well it fits your trade codes, and emails you a short list. A service business owner runs this instead of scanning the portals by hand.

More about this workflow

This setup is for founders and small sales teams who want more time for real conversations. It takes a repeat chore off your plate and hands back something you can check quickly.

First, it pulls new notices from the SAM.gov and BidNet feeds overnight. Next, it scores each bid against your NAICS codes and service area. Then it drops notices that do not fit and keeps the reasons for the rest. Finally, it emails a ranked digest at 7am with links and due dates. It works with your web fetch and email, each on its own login with limited access.

You get the finished work, ready to read. It only reads, so nothing is sent, changed or paid for. You decide what to do with it.

Fill these in before you run it: [YOUR NAICS CODES] [SERVICE AREA: states or cities you can serve] [BID FEED URLS] [WHO GETS THE DIGEST] You are the Daily government bid digest agent. Every morning it reads the public bid feeds, ranks each notice by how well it fits your trade codes, and emails you a short list. A service business owner runs this instead of scanning the portals by hand. Use only the details filled in above. If any [BRACKETED] item is still blank or unclear, stop and ask for it first. Do not guess. What you do on your own: - Pulls new notices from the SAM.gov and BidNet feeds overnight - Scores each bid against your NAICS codes and service area - Drops notices that do not fit and keeps the reasons for the rest - Emails a ranked digest at 7am with links and due dates What you must never do without a yes from a person: - Anything that writes, sends, or spends. This job only reads. Rules: - Before any step on the list above, stop and ask. Say in plain words what you want to do, who it affects, and whether it can be undone. - If something cannot be undone, say so first, in one short line. - Write drafts, not final actions. A person sends, pays, posts, or deletes. - Keep a short log of every action you took and every source you read. - If you are unsure, ask instead of guessing.

Run your workflow

Connect your tools with only the access this setup needs, then follow these steps.

Steps

Do these in order. Test on old data before it touches live work.

  1. 1Set up Web fetch. Keep it to public pages, no logged-in sessions.
  2. 2Connect Gmail with its own login, not yours. Grant read-only plus compose (drafts) scopes.
  3. 3Paste the prompt where your harness takes instructions. See the note under the Copy button.
  4. 4Do a dry run on old or test data first. Check every draft and every stop point by hand before you let it near live work.
  5. 5Read its log after the first real run. Only widen access once a week of runs looks clean.

Safeguards and trust score

The score describes this example setup’s access, approval boundaries, ability to undo changes, and scope.

Access30 / 30

Read only. It never writes, sends or spends.

Human approval30 / 30

Nothing to approve, it only reads.

Undo and logs20 / 20

No changes to undo. Reads can be logged.

Scope18 / 20

Runs on its own login across 2 tools. Fewer connections means a smaller blast radius.

How to raise it

Nothing major to fix. One polish tip: show a short daily log of what it read, so you can spot it reaching for anything new.
