Go to the Dashboard and type a description of your business or the type of work you do. You can use natural language like "cybersecurity consulting" or a NAICS code like "541512". Kontrakk will search across SAM.gov opportunities and show matching results.

Visit the Grants page from the top navigation. Search by keyword, filter by agency (DoD, HHS, NSF, etc.) or status (Posted, Forecasted). Click any grant to view full details, eligibility, and application links.

You can browse contracts and grants without an account. To save contracts, track pursuits, generate proposals, or receive deadline reminders, you need to sign up.

A NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) code is a 2-6 digit number that categorizes your business type. Federal contracts are tagged with NAICS codes. Kontrakk can detect the right NAICS code from your business description automatically.

On the search screen, use the filter chips to narrow results: NAICS code filters by industry classification, Closing date filters by response deadline, and Set-aside filters by small business programs (8(a), WOSB, HUBZone, etc.).

Kontrakk first searches by keyword. If no keyword matches are found, it identifies your NAICS code and broadens the search to include all contracts in that industry. This helps surface relevant opportunities you might otherwise miss.

The Pursuit Board is a kanban-style board with four columns: Watch, Qualify, Draft, and Submit. Drag contracts between columns to track where each opportunity stands in your pipeline.

Click "View" on any contract in your search results. In the detail panel, click "Watch" or "Pursue" to save it. The contract will appear on your Pursuit Board.

Move the contract to "Awarded" status. From the Awards page, you can then move it to "Performance" to track deliverables, set contract metadata (contract number, period of performance, award value), and manage milestones.

Open the Compliance Matrix for any saved contract and click "Generate with AI". Kontrakk analyzes the solicitation description and extracts compliance requirements, FAR clauses, and evaluation criteria. You can edit, add, or remove items after generation.

In the contract detail panel, click "Generate Proposal". Kontrakk creates a professional interest email based on the contract details. You can also export contract information as a PDF.

The Compliance Matrix tracks requirements for a specific solicitation. Each row has a reference number, section name, FAR clause, assigned owner, and status (Not Started, In Progress, Complete). Use it to ensure your proposal addresses every requirement.

When a contract is in the "Performance" stage, the Awards page shows a deliverables table. Add each deliverable with a name and due date. Track status as Pending, Submitted, or Accepted. Deliverables due within 7 days are highlighted in red.

The lifecycle timeline shows the full journey of a contract through your pipeline: Sourced, Qualified, Drafting, Submitted, Awarded, Performance. Each stage records the date it was reached.

Kontrakk sends email reminders at 14, 7, and 2 days before contract response deadlines and grant close dates. Deliverable reminders are sent at 7 and 2 days before due dates. You can enable or disable each type in Settings.

Go to Settings and find the Notification Preferences section. Toggle the master switch to enable or disable all email notifications, or control each type individually: contract deadlines, deliverable reminders, and grant deadlines.

Every notification email includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Clicking it immediately disables all email notifications. You can re-enable them anytime in Settings.
