The federal fiscal year ends September 30. As agencies work to obligate remaining funds, new opportunities can surface and move quickly. That leaves contractors less time to separate strong fits from expensive distractions.
So how do you quickly find the opportunities that make sense for your business?
GovTribe AI. It combines GovTribe's government market intelligence with AI skills made for real govcon work. Together, they can turn a plain-language description of your business and interests into a short, ranked list of FY2026 year-end opportunities, complete with fit assessments, key risks, and recommended next steps.
Here's all you need to do.
Step 1 of 3
Log in to GovTribe and open GovTribe AI. New to GovTribe? Start a free trial. No credit card is required.
Every free trial includes platform access and 1,000 credits you can use right away to power GovTribe AI, GovTribe MCP, and automations.
Step 2 of 3
Click Use a skill below the prompt box—or type /—and select Capture Workflows.
The Capture Workflows skill gives GovTribe AI a step-by-step process for finding and qualifying opportunities, so it knows what to look for and how to judge fit.
Side note: GovTribe skills were built by former government contractors and continue to improve based on how govcon teams use them. They bring real capture experience to your work so you get better results.
Step 3 of 3
Copy the prompt below into GovTribe AI, fill in the two blue box sections (My business and My interests), and hit send.
Use the Relevant Opportunities workflow within the Capture Workflows skill to find FY2026 year-end federal contract opportunities that fit my business.
If GovTribe can reliably match my company to a vendor record, use its relevant classifications, certifications, locations, and awards. Otherwise, use only what I provide. Ask questions only when a missing answer would change eligibility or ranking.
About my business:
[Add your company name, what you sell, relevant experience, certifications or set-asides, clearances, contract vehicles, where you can work, and whether you want to prime, subcontract, or either.]
About my interests:
[Add preferred agencies or buyers, project types, locations, contract sizes, minimum days needed to respond, and anything to exclude.]
Rank results by actionability—not keyword similarity:
Begin with a two-sentence Bottom line that states how many Pursue, Partner, and Watch opportunities you found and identifies the most urgent deadline.
Return no more than seven primary matches. If only one or two are genuinely actionable, return only those. Do not pad the list.
Use this exact structure for every primary match. Keep every field to one or two short lines:
[Rank]. [Linked opportunity title] — [Pursue, partner, or watch] · [High, medium, or low fit]
Solicitation: [Number]
Buyer / place: [Agency and place of performance]
Deadline: [Date and days remaining]
Access: [Set-aside, contract vehicle, or other hard gate]
Scope: [One-sentence summary]
Why it fits: [One short sentence]
Key risk or unknown: [One short sentence]
Next step: [One specific action]
Use confirmed record facts for the solicitation, buyer, place, deadline, access, and scope. Label assumptions as assumptions, keep important unknowns visible, and never invent missing information. Do not call an opportunity confirmed year-end spending unless the available record supports that conclusion.
Treat each entry as its capture note. Do not add separate business-profile, methodology, classification, or detailed-analysis sections unless I ask for them.
Put expired notices, clear no-bids, and opportunities that fail my minimum response-time rule in a short Not actionable now section with only the linked title and one-sentence reason. If a realistic partner could solve the gap, classify the opportunity as Partner instead.
Finish with a Do this next section containing no more than three prioritized actions. If nothing meets the standard, say so plainly and suggest one useful way to adjust the search without removing hard eligibility or timing requirements.
