Why FFID pays for itself.
One early project opportunity typically covers the annual cost of a subscription many times over. The question isn't whether FFID pays for itself — it's how many opportunities you miss while waiting for SAM.gov.
AEC & Construction
A single early-identified infrastructure project that converts to a fee engagement typically represents 10–100× the annual cost of a subscription.
Find the project before your competitor does. →Lobbying & Gov Affairs
One client strategy meeting backed by real member data and comparable-jurisdiction benchmarks — assembled in minutes, not hours — justifies months of subscription cost.
Pull any member's 5-year history in seconds. →Grant Consultants
A client request grounded in real funded precedent has a higher win rate. A single successful placement typically represents 10–50× the annual intelligence cost.
Find comparable awards before the meeting. →GovCon BD Teams
A funded prospect list in your target agency and state — ready for CRM import — represents days of saved research time. Enacted earmarks in your pipeline before SAM notices appear.
Export target recipients before SAM records catch up. →Estimate the value of one early signal.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Founding Member offer?
20 seats at $99/month locked forever. When this offer closes the price goes to $149/month. Founding members never pay more regardless of future price increases.
What data is included?
97,000+ projects across FY2022–FY2026 — including House CPF enacted data for all five years, plus Senate CDS enacted data for FY2022–2024 and CDS requests for FY2025–2026.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel anytime from your account settings. No long-term contracts for monthly plans. Annual plans are non-refundable after 30 days.
How does the intelligence export limit work?
Founding Member and Starter plans include 2,500 rows/month; Pro includes 10,000 rows/month. Trial users receive a 50-row lifetime export sample. Exports are delivered as CSV and are for internal business use under your plan limits.
Does FFID cover competitive federal grants?
No. FFID is focused exclusively on congressional earmarks — House Community Project Funding (CPF) and Senate Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS). It does not cover NOFO-based competitive grants, formula grants, or contracts. Earmarks often precede downstream procurement activity, though not all earmarks result in competitive solicitations.
Where does the data come from?
FFID normalizes public data published by the House Appropriations Committee (CPF enacted lists) and the Senate Appropriations Committee (CDS enacted and requested lists). Data is ingested automatically every Monday and covers FY2022–FY2026 with enacted and requested project status.
