| Mark | What it means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| 8/10 | Fit score for your business, 1 to 10. Green (8 or more) is a strong fit; orange (6 or 7) is worth a look. The Why column lists the reasons. | Click the title to open the notice on SAM.gov, and read its attachments before you decide. |
| 📋 | Solicitation. The agency has defined what it wants to buy and is asking for priced offers. | Read the statement of work and the submission instructions, then decide whether to bid. Send questions to the contact on the notice before the question deadline. |
| 👀 | Pipeline: a sources sought notice, a request for information or a presolicitation. The agency is still researching the market or giving advance notice, and isn't asking for prices yet. | Answer a sources sought or request for information with a short capability statement. It costs nothing and doesn't commit you, and the answers help the contracting officer decide whether to set the work aside for small businesses. For a presolicitation, get ready and watch for the solicitation. |
| 📣 | Announcement (special notice): an industry day, a draft solicitation for comment, a notice that the agency intends to award to a particular firm, or other news about a purchase. | Do what it asks: register for the event or send comments on the draft. If it names one firm and you can do the work too, tell the contracting officer before the response date. |
| 💰 | Funding: a broad agency announcement (BAA), commercial solutions opening, other transaction, prize competition or cooperative agreement. The agency has money set aside and invites ideas or projects instead of bids on a fixed requirement. | Check who is eligible and what topics it covers. Most start with a short white paper or concept paper. |
| 🎯 | Sole source. The agency plans to award to one eligible firm without a competition. | If you hold that certification and can do the work, send the contracting officer your capability statement right away. These windows are short. |
| 🚨 | The response deadline is within 30 days. | Check the exact due date and time zone on SAM.gov. If you can't send a quality response by then, let it go. |
| ⚡ | Quick win. The notice mentions micro-purchase or simplified acquisition (FAR Part 13) rules, so the purchase is smaller and is awarded faster. | Often a short quote and a capability statement are enough. A common way to win a first federal contract. |
Buttons. Draft: Claude and Draft: GPT open a ready-made prompt in your own Claude or ChatGPT account; review and edit everything before you use it. Email CO opens a pre-addressed email to the contracting officer in your mail app; nothing is sent until you press send.
Words you'll see. NAICS: six-digit industry code. The code on a notice decides which firms count as small for that purchase. · Set-aside: only one kind of small business may bid, and you need that status to bid. Full & Open means anyone can bid. · SDVOSBC / SDVOSBS: service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-aside / sole source · WOSB / EDWOSB: women-owned / economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (a code ending in SS means sole source) · VSA / VSS: veteran-owned small business set-aside / sole source, used by the VA · Sol#: solicitation number. Quote it in every email and submission. · CO: contracting officer, the official who awards the contract. Write to the point of contact named on the notice. · Capability statement: one page on what you do, your past work, NAICS codes, certifications, UEI and CAGE code · UEI: your entity ID from SAM.gov. You generally need an active SAM.gov registration to be awarded a federal contract.
