About GovConFeed

Independent coverage of federal contracting for the people who actually run small and mid-sized firms — owners, BD leads, and capture managers who don't have a compliance team to translate every rule change.

Founded and published by John Folger. GovConFeed is an independent publication and is not affiliated with any government agency.

What we do

We watch the primary sources — SAM.gov, USAspending, the Federal Register, GAO bid protest decisions, agency announcements — and publish when something matters. Articles drop when news drops, not on a calendar.

How articles are made

Every article on this site is drafted with AI. The draft works only from primary documents pulled for that story (contract announcements, SAM.gov notices, Federal Register entries, GAO protest decisions, DOJ releases), then an automated fact-check re-fetches every cited source and strips any claim it cannot find. Drafts are held until the publisher releases them. We don't rewrite other outlets' coverage; we go to the source, and every article links to it.

The bylines you see are desk names, not people. "Marcus Webb," "Sara Draper," and "Colin Reyes" each label one coverage desk so readers can follow a beat. None of them has a résumé, and we don't pretend otherwise. Each desk page says exactly this. The full process is on the editorial standards page, and mistakes are logged on the corrections page.
