Finding the right government contract opportunities can feel like a daunting task, especially for small businesses with limited resources. Even though federal agencies spent around $694 billion on contracts in FY 2022, navigating these opportunities and finding the right ones for you can be complicated and time-consuming.
To make things easier, GovTribe created two powerful features: saved searches and recommendations. Together, these tools act like the perfect government contracting assistant, bringing you relevant contract opportunities, monitoring your specific markets, passing along relevant updates, tracking your competitors, and finding potential teaming partners.
Many of our users have secured lucrative contracts using these features, and you can, too. (Just keep reading.)
How do saved searches find contract opportunities?
Let’s say you’re interested in contract opportunities associated with certain NAICS codes or other criteria. Traditionally, you’d have to manually search those criteria for opportunities and updates.
With GovTribe, you can save these searches to your account and automatically receive notifications when relevant opportunities are posted. This feature is especially useful for those who need to monitor specific market segments closely (e.g., a landscaping company looking for opportunities with the keyword "landscaping" due within the next 12 months).
How do you set up saved searches?
Creating a saved search on GovTribe is really simple. All you need to do is:
What are other uses for saved searches?
The best part about saved searches? Your customization options are practically endless. Once you get the hang of setting them up, you can start to get creative. Here are some other cool ways you can leverage saved searches:
How do recommendations help find contract opportunities?
While saved searches let you customize and fine-tune exactly what you're looking for, recommendations act as a safety net, catching anything you might have missed.
Here’s how it works: GovTribe uses a points-based algorithm that gets smarter the more you interact with the platform. Think of it like Netflix—when you watch a show, Netflix suggests similar ones. Similarly, as you engage with GovTribe, it learns your preferences and suggests relevant opportunities.
This means you'll get a wider range of potential projects, some of which you might not have discovered on your own. It's an extra layer of help to ensure you don't miss out on valuable contract opportunities.
