Frequently asked questions about NationGraph

NationGraph is a pre-RFP sales intelligence platform built for the SLED market. Instead of waiting for a bid to go public, Signals ties budget approvals, council and board votes, grant awards, and expiring contracts to the specific institution and record behind each one, so sales teams see demand forming before competitors do.

NationGraph indexes public records from 110,000+ SLED institutions across roughly four million government websites, then classifies what it finds into buying signals tied to a specific institution, decision, and record. A line item approved in a budget, a board vote to fund a project, a grant award, or a contract nearing expiration all show up months before a solicitation does.

NationGraph is for companies that sell products or services to state, local, and education government: edtech, public safety, facilities and infrastructure, transportation, cybersecurity, and govtech vendors, among others. Sales teams use it to build pipeline ahead of the RFP, and marketing teams use it to target accounts showing intent.

NationGraph covers 110,000+ U.S. state, local, and education institutions: cities, counties, K-12 school districts, public colleges and universities, law enforcement agencies, fire departments, public utilities, departments of transportation, and special districts.

No. NationGraph covers U.S. state, local, and education institutions only. It does not cover federal agencies, private institutions, or markets outside the United States. Teams that also sell federal typically pair NationGraph with a federal opportunity tracker.

NationGraph files public records requests, including federal FOIA requests and their state equivalents, on your behalf to retrieve competitor contracts from government institutions. Requests are filed by NationGraph rather than in your company's name. You get back the contract value, start and end dates, pricing breakdown, and the full PDF of the signed agreement.

NationGraph integrates natively with HubSpot and Salesforce, so signals and contacts flow directly into your pipeline. Other CRMs, including Zoho, Dynamics, and Odoo, connect through Zapier. Signal notifications are also available in Slack and Microsoft Teams.

GovSpend's strength is the deepest historical spend and purchase order archive in the public sector, plus contact depth, and it has added meeting intelligence, contract expiration tracking, an AI opportunity dashboard, and a bids module. NationGraph is built for the earlier stage of the same deal: SLED-first buying signals tied to the specific institution, contract, and record, surfaced before the RFP, plus automated public records requests for competitor contracts.
