How do I find government contract opportunities?
Search SAM.gov for active solicitations in your NAICS codes, and watch sources sought notices to spot work before the formal RFP.
SAM.gov is the official, free place to find active federal solicitations. Filter by the NAICS codes that match your business and by set-aside type to focus on work you can win. State and local governments run their own procurement portals, which are worth tracking if you sell locally.
Do not wait for the RFP. Sources sought notices and Requests for Information appear earlier and signal what is coming, giving you time to position, team, and prepare. Tracking market data on where agencies are spending also helps you aim at the right buyers.
