A few useful answers
Before you start.
Can I keep my report without joining?
Yes. Complete the free check to see your readiness report, answer summary, and priorities. Choose “Print / save my report” and select “Save as PDF” in the print window. Requesting private access is optional.
Do I need an account or a payment?
The readiness check and SAM.gov guide are free, with no account required. Private accounts currently require an invitation. No payment is collected during this MVP.
What if I am not registered in SAM.gov?
You can start here. Our free SAM.gov guide explains the process and links to official help. SAM.gov registration itself is free.
Is ContractVector a government service?
No. ContractVector is an independent guidance service. We do not determine eligibility, register you with an agency, or guarantee a contract award. Guidance is not legal advice.
What information should I share?
Share only business facts needed for your next step. Never send passwords, verification codes, banking credentials, or sensitive government documents. We do not sell submitted contact information. Read our Trust & AI policy.
Can I get help with a capability statement?
The Capability Statement Concierge organizes your business facts into a draft for private founder review. Missing information is flagged, not invented.
How do I request private access?
Complete the readiness check, then choose “Request private access” from your result to open the application. Private workspaces remain invitation-only. Membership and paid AI are not available for purchase here.
