The short answer
GovWin IQ is Deltek's government market intelligence platform, and its distinctive asset is a team of human analysts tracking programs before they reach a solicitation. FedSift has no analysts. It reads public government data (every SAM.gov notice and its documents, USASpending awards, SBA and eCFR regulations) and ends on a bid or no-bid call you can check against the source.
