None of the expiring work we have indexed here is set aside. Everything on this board will be competed full and open. The top three incumbents hold most of the value, which usually means a small number of large vehicles rather than many separate opportunities.

What to do with a date

A federal contract is re-bought on a schedule that runs backwards from the day the current one ends — and most of what decides the winner happens before the solicitation is ever published.

By the time a rebid appears on SAM.gov the requirement is written, the set-aside decision is made, and the incumbent has had a year of conversations with the customer. Knowing an end date early is how you get into that year instead of arriving after it.

  1. 18mo → 12mo out

    Research

    The agency is beginning to plan the follow-on. You want to know more about this requirement than the notice will ever tell you.

  2. 12mo → 9mo out

    Shape

    The requirement is being written now. This is when a specification quietly comes to describe one company's way of working.

  3. 9mo → 6mo out

    Sources sought

    The highest-leverage window on the whole clock, and the one most small businesses sleep through.

  4. 3mo → 1mo out

    Solicitation

    The RFP typically posts in this window, and everything about it is fast.
