Why teams look for an alternative

What buyers tell us they are missing

Spend Network is a strong choice as a data source. Teams come to GlobalGov when they want a platform to work in, not only a dataset to build on.

You want a platform, not just a data feed

Spend Network supplies procurement data for you to build on. GlobalGov is a working platform — search, alerts, saved intelligence, AI capture-plan and fit analysis — across US federal and 200+ countries, with the data also available through an API and MCP.

You want opportunities, awards, and vendors linked

GlobalGov links 9.9M+ records including award history and 2.9M+ vendor profiles, with 40+-language translation, so opportunities, outcomes, and competitors connect in one place.

You still want programmatic access

GlobalGov offers a public REST API and an MCP server, so if you do want to build on the data, your own tools, models, and agents can query it directly.

Honest fit

Which one is right for you

Choose GlobalGov if

  • You want a working platform to search, track, and act on opportunities.
  • You want opportunities, awards, and vendors linked in one place.
  • You want AI capture-plan and fit analysis alongside the data.
  • You want US federal and 200+ countries, with an API and MCP.

You might prefer Spend Network if

  • You are a data or analytics team that wants raw, bulk procurement data to build your own products, models, or dashboards — its data-licensing and feeds are purpose-built for that.
  • Your need is a data source to integrate rather than a platform your team works in day to day.

There is no migration to worry about. GlobalGov is a separate platform you can trial alongside whatever you use today, so you can compare on your own data before deciding anything.
