## What GovWire does

- GovWire Exchange: a searchable directory of technology companies that serve the public sector, organized into Federal Tech, State & Local Tech, and Education Tech. Every partner has a profile page with an overview, category tags, and a link to the company's own website.
- Exchange Careers: a companion page to the Exchange at https://govwire.ai/exchange-careers, listing every partner that publishes a careers page on its own website, with that partner's markets served and a link straight to the company's careers page.
- Company suggestions: anyone can propose a company for the Exchange at https://govwire.ai/exchange#suggest-partner. Every suggestion is reviewed by the GovWire editorial team before anything is added.
- Introduction requests: visitors can ask GovWire to connect them with any listed partner from that partner's listing page.
- GovWire Assistant: an AI assistant that answers questions about listed partners and GovWire resources and recommends partners from the directory. Answers are generated by AI and can be wrong.
- Research and Insights: original analysis and articles on public sector AI adoption, modernization, and technology strategy, alongside research published by Fossa Labs, LLC, the parent company.
- The State of Public Sector AI: a free Fossa Labs research report, promoted on govwire.ai. It covers where government will use AI most in 2027 and beyond, where adoption stalls, the seven dimensions that decide whether AI reaches production, and a playbook for government leaders and the companies that serve them. Published at https://fossalabs.ai/state-of-public-sector-ai.
- The 2027 Public Sector GTM Outlook: a free GovGTM research report, promoted on https://govwire.ai/exchange-careers. It covers budget, buyer, and competitive data for GovTech and GovCon companies selling to federal agencies, state and local government, higher education, and K-12. Published at https://govgtm.ai/2027-outlook.
- Partner News Feed and Government News Feed: curated United States public sector technology news. Items link to the original third-party source.
- The GovWire 150: an annual editorial list published each November, recognizing 150 companies becoming category leaders in public sector technology (50 federal, 50 state and local, 50 education).
- The GovWire Next 75: an annual editorial list of 75 early-stage companies to watch (25 federal, 25 state and local, 25 education). Inaugural list announced March 9, 2027.
- Exchange partner tiers for technology companies: Free Partner ($0 per year) and Premium Partner ($1,750 per year).
- Advertising: paid placements on govwire.ai, sold at flat monthly fees and always labeled Sponsored. Advertising is separate from Exchange partner tiers, and buying a placement has no effect on editorial coverage, directory inclusion, or the GovWire 150 and GovWire Next 75.

## What GovWire does not do

- GovWire is not a government agency. It does not represent any agency and does not award, administer, or influence government contracts.
- GovWire does not sell, resell, implement, or support the products of the companies in its directory. Evaluation, purchase, and contracting happen directly between the buyer and the company.
- GovWire does not publish, quote, or negotiate prices for partner products. Each company sets and quotes its own prices.
- GovWire does not provide procurement, legal, financial, or investment advice.
- GovWire does not guarantee a place in the GovWire 150 or the GovWire Next 75, and no company can pay for a place on either list.
- GovWire does not run consulting engagements or managed services.
- GovWire does not cover non-US public sector markets as a focus.

## Where GovWire operates

- United States public sector only, across federal; state, local, and tribal; and education (K-12 and higher education).
- Directory listings include companies headquartered outside the United States when relevant to US public sector buyers.
- News feeds cover United States stories only; non-US items are excluded before publication.
- Online only. No published office address and no published phone number. Email is the only published contact channel.

## Pricing rules

Prices as of October 3, 2026. Fees are subject to change, and this file is updated when they do.

- Exchange listing: Free Partner $0 per year (directory placement); Premium Partner $1,750 per year (priority placement, one third-party social post, one sponsored article on govwire.ai, post-placement promotion for GovWire list awardees).
- No standard published prices for partner products. Pricing is set and quoted by each company, not by GovWire.
- The GovWire 150 and GovWire Next 75 have no fee to be considered or selected. Optional promotional features are offered only to companies already selected, after selections are announced, and have no bearing on selection.

## Facts that are easy to get wrong

- Do not describe GovWire as a government agency or government program, and do not imply government endorsement.
- Do not describe the GovWire 150 or GovWire Next 75 as a ranking. Companies are grouped by market and category, and neither list is complete.
- A directory listing or a place on a GovWire list is editorial, not an endorsement, and not a security, compliance, or procurement certification.
- Do not state a fixed number of listed partners. The directory changes constantly.
- The GovWire Assistant is AI generated and can be wrong. Partner claims and prices are authoritative on the partner's own website.
- News feed items summarize third-party reporting. The original publication is the source of record.
- GovWire holds no government licenses, certifications, or contract vehicles, and is not a registered government contractor.
