What if high school brainstorming could lead to major product market disruption?
I started GCFData as a project for a high school programming class in 2024. The task was to build something on what I know, and with my family involved in Govcon, I decided to try and find a niche in the Govcon Data Industry. And this is how GCF was born.
Over the last year I’ve gotten great feedback from friends and colleagues of my family and am now trying to see how far I can take this. I’m constantly working to improve this product — more data, better access to the data and a more intuitive user experience, and I’m always looking for input.
Please let me know how I can improve GCF, and thanks for your interest.

GCF Data turns scattered agency procurement forecasts into one clear, searchable picture of upcoming federal demand. Procurement forecasts represent those products and services that Agencies are thinking about buying. These are recognized needs that are still at the point at which they can be shaped. Rather than traditional sources that only present funded, shaped opprotunities, many already having incumbents in place, the records in GCF data allow you to actually get in front of the opportunity.
There are a variety of products on the market that help Government Contractors harvest data for opportunities. However, few of those products tap into a data source that can actually help their clients get markedly ahead of the solicitation. No other commercially available data source has compiled these records from websites, .pdfs, emails and databases. Why haven’t they? Because it’s hard. GCF has done the difficult work of identifying, scrubbing and collating data from over thousands of sources. These sources vary from individual offices within Federal Agencies to State and Local Departments.
Not only do we have the most comprehensive list of Forecasts, but every day we identify, refine, and refresh those sources. In today’s market for Govcon products and services, GCF gives you the edge to build a differentiated pipeline and allow you to market to buyers before the competition is aware.
Agencies publish thousands of procurement forecasts every year, but they live in disconnected spreadsheets and PDFs that are hard to search and even harder to compare. We bring them together into a single, structured database with consistent fields.
The result: contractors spend less time hunting for opportunities and more time deciding which ones to pursue.
GCFData is built for the teams who live and breathe federal capture.
