Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be SAM.gov registered to start?+
No. GovCon Starter is free and walks you through what registration involves — UEI, CAGE, NAICS/PSC, and certifications — so you know exactly what to do. You will need an active SAM.gov registration before you can actually bid on federal work.
Does GovCon Command Center find and bid on contracts for me?+
No. Command Center is education and readiness — it prepares your business. Searching and matching opportunities, analyzing solicitations, fit scoring, and writing proposals happen in Sturgeon AI, which you convert into when you are ready to execute.
What is the difference between Command Center and Sturgeon AI?+
Command Center gets you ready: learn the process, assess your readiness, use resources, and get human guidance. Sturgeon AI executes: it searches and matches opportunities, analyzes solicitations, and helps generate proposals. You graduate from one to the other.
What if I am not sure which NAICS codes apply to me?+
Use our free NAICS Code Finder tool. Describe your industry or services and it will suggest relevant codes to research. It is a starting point for your own due diligence, not a determination of eligibility.
Does this cover disaster and emergency contracting?+
Yes — we teach how FEMA, State Emergency Management agencies, and the National Readiness System (NRS) buy, and how to get your business ready. For deeper, real-time disaster intelligence and supplier matching, we route you to NRS, a separate product.
How much do the paid tiers cost?+
GovCon Starter is free today. Pricing for GovCon Academy and GovCon Professional is being finalized — join the waitlist and we will share plans and pricing before launch. Consulting and services are quoted individually.
