Federal Contract Intelligence

Federal contract intelligence is the process of researching and analyzing government contract data to identify opportunities, understand market trends, and make informed decisions about pursuing federal contracts. It includes analyzing award values, identifying top buying agencies, and understanding set-aside opportunities.

NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes are 6-digit numbers that classify your business activity. You can use our SIN & NAICS Identification Tool to find the code that best matches your products or services, or search the Census Bureau's NAICS website.

Set-aside contracts are federal contracts reserved for specific categories of small businesses, including Small Business (SB), 8(a) Business Development, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), HUBZone, and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB). These set-asides help small businesses compete for government contracts.

Our contract intelligence tool pulls real federal procurement data that is updated regularly. The data includes recent contract awards from the past 90 days, giving you current insights into active government buying patterns in your industry.

While not required for all federal contracts, a GSA Schedule significantly increases your visibility to government buyers and streamlines the procurement process. Many agencies prefer using GSA Schedule holders because it simplifies compliance and pricing negotiations.

Use contract intelligence data to identify agencies that actively buy your services, understand typical contract values in your industry, target appropriate set-aside opportunities, and develop relationships with the agencies most likely to need your capabilities.
