Research workflow

1

Pick target agencies

Start with agencies that already buy your NAICS — or where you have past performance, clearance, or geographic presence.
2

Review open solicitations

Search open opportunities filtered to that agency: “Open IT solicitations from Department of Veterans Affairs.”
3

Study award history

See who won recent contracts, typical contract sizes, and whether work is set aside.
4

Save and alert

Create a saved search for that agency + your keywords so new postings surface automatically.

​
Federal agency hierarchy

Federal spending rolls up through departments, agencies, and offices. A “Department of Defense” search behaves differently from “Defense Logistics Agency” or a specific installation — get as specific as your capture plan requires.

State and local buyers

For state and local work, the “agency” may be a city procurement office, county public works department, university, or special district. Name the buyer explicitly in search queries for best results.
