How to use a procurement forecast
- Filter by NAICS and set-aside. Most forecasts can be sorted by NAICS code, estimated value and small business program; see our NAICS code guides.
- Note the contact. Many entries name a program office or small business specialist you can reach before the solicitation is released.
- Watch the timing. Entries usually give a target quarter for the solicitation or award, which tells you when to engage.
- Check the vehicle. If a buy is planned under a GWAC or the GSA Schedule, only holders of that vehicle can bid as primes; see our federal contract vehicles directory.
- Confirm on SAM.gov. Requirements change, so track sources-sought notices and solicitations on SAM.gov.
Agency small business offices
Each large agency has an Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) or equivalent. These offices run many of the forecasts, hold vendor outreach events and can connect small businesses with program and contracting staff. Many forecast links above sit on the OSDBU's own site.
