Our Story

Built by a contractor who lived the problem

SAMstream was built in Medford, Oregon by Nick Badenhop, a federal contractor who got tired of losing weekends to SAM.gov.

After a decade of bidding on federal work the hard way, Nick teamed up with engineers to build the platform he always wanted: search that reads like a contractor, pricing data that goes back decades, and proposals that assemble themselves.
