YES! The government has reopened and they are playing catch up!
Even though the feds are still be operating under Continuing Resolution (CR), spending is in full gear. Contracting officers are pressed to spend – and they will spend – all budgeted dollars by September 30th - but don't wait because they are spending right now!
Contractors were stressed during the shutdown - but the ones that decided to stick with it will be successful because were prepared for the federal government reopening - and the report shows the activity of the companies that are winning will be ahead of the contractors that didn't.

3 Ways to position your company effectively
1) Leverage Contract Activity on SAMradar.com
While everyone else is focusing on the 2% that hits SAM.gov, you can be using the award data triggered in FPDS.gov that shows up on your SAMradar.com alert.
Look for new contracts that had less than 5 offers received (this will be most of them)
Contact the Buyer that just awarded in your space
Ask for a quick meeting (the sooner you do this the better)
Ask them how that contract happened
Ask them how you can be on the shortlist (because it didn't hit SAM.gov)
Ask them if they would like to set up a BPA (Blanket Purchase Agreement) for future spending
2) Leverage your expertise with GovBrief.us Interagency Briefings
No matter what you sell, you MUST get your offering in front of federal customers. SAMradar.com will get you to the right buyers - but that is only the contracting side - what about Program Managers? Conventions are already expensive - $10K+ to have and staff a booth is very common.
With budgets being cut for travel - Govies are not coming to conventions - and meeting key stakeholders is why you are going to conventions, right?
This makes getting face time even more difficult. GovBrief.us provides a cost effective way to get yourself considered the SME (Subject Matter Expert).
GovBrief.us invites from their 1 million contact plus of federal contacts
They help with federal research & creating your presentation
They provide a professional host
They help prospect (most have dozens of opportunities)
You get established as the SME in yiour space
You get contacts that NEED what you provide
You have a finalized video that make you look great - See Samples & Testimonials
3) Use Sole Source Contracts
Speaking of great topics on GovBrief.us... Did you know that federal agencies can award Sole Source contracts to ANY business? That's right - ANY business can be awarded sole source contracts when the buyer has "Justification and Approval" also known as J&A or JOFOC. Not only that, but statute allows for sole source contracts to woman owned (WOSB), HUBZone, veteran owned (VOSB), and Service Disabled Veteran owned (SDVOSB) small businesses. While most are familiar with SBA 8(a) sole source, ALL other socio-economic categories can - BY LAW - be awarded sole source contracts. Sole source contracts can be awarded for products and/or services - but here is the key - they need you to help them "justify" that sole source.

You can effectively use the J&A process to:
Get in the door
Get your offering known
Establish an approval path for Sole Source Justification
How does that compare to the Unsolicited Proposal process? Simply put, sole source justification and Unsolicited Proposals can be combined to frame your offering - even what you might consider a commoditized product - in a way that effectively eliminates the competition.

Report Sources
FPDS.gov is the repository of data. SAM.gov is where contracting officers post opportunities, it is also where the public can run reports on FPDS data using Ad Hoc reports. SAMradar has proprietary intelligence algorithms that provide additional information including deep intelligence on buyer and prime activity that is not available on fpds.gov or SAM.gov.
Why Date Signed vs Date Modified?
There is good reason to care about both, and exactly why SAMradar operates on modifications because contract modifications show spending and prime activity that is also hidden like IDIQ, GWAC, and BPA sales that never show up on SAM.gov. Now, most of the new contract activity (by date signed) is significant because most never post on SAM.gov, therefore most contractors never know of federal sales happening in their NAICS/PSC or niche market.
Report Anatomy and Use Cases
Each Tab includes the ability to sort by the number of Contracts (activity) and Dollars. This provides your insight into activity as well as overall spending. The key for SAMradar members is to utilize this report to find and categorize competitor activity. and add the competitor to your SAMradar vendor monitor.

Reconciling Inaccuracies
Federal contract data contains hundreds of data points per contract and data entry is performed by contracting officers and specialists. As a result, the data is not perfect. When assembling federal contract data, there are regular corrections, deletions, and other nuances (including agencies using fields differently) that can create anomalies in the outcome of summarized reports. SAMradar data analyzers are consistently reviewing the data for these anomalies – but we do not correct them because it would challenge the integrity of the reports.
