About GovDirections
GovDirections, LLC is located in Atlanta, Georgia. We are an information retrieval service founded in March 2006. We provide both free and paid subscription options.
Our primary service includes consulting reports delivered at various intervals to alert users about planned government spend to acquire goods and services. We use a combination of automated and manual research processes to gather data including active, awarded, and upcoming government bids, contracts, requests for proposals, requests for information, and similar data.
We are not affiliated with any government agency nor do we serve for their benefit. We also use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to allow users instant access to data published by governments and other third parties.
