      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you’ve ever tried building on top of federal procurement data, you already know the pain:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;data spread across multiple endpoints and formats&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;missing/inconsistent fields&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;too much cleanup before you can build anything useful&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;hard to move from “raw public data” to production workflows&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I built &lt;strong&gt;FedPulse&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;FedPulse is a developer-friendly API that gives teams one place for:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;opportunity search&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;vendor/exclusion checks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;wage data&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;entity intelligence workflows&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why this exists
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most teams don’t want to become experts in every SAM.gov data edge case.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
They want to answer practical questions fast:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“What opportunities match this profile?”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“Is this vendor clear from a compliance perspective?”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“Can we automate this analysis in an internal tool or AI workflow?”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;FedPulse focuses on that practical layer: &lt;strong&gt;cleaner structure, faster integration, less friction&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What’s included
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;REST API endpoints for key procurement workflows&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;docs + quickstart path&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SDK support&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;API key auth&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;transparent pricing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Built for
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;federal contractors and capture teams&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GovCon software teams&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;analysts and researchers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AI builders using public-sector data&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I’d love feedback on
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you work in GovCon/public-sector data, I’d really value your thoughts:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What part of your current procurement workflow is most painful?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What endpoint/workflow would be highest priority?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What would make this truly useful in production for your team?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
