Find government contracts that fit my business or expertise
A search plan, list of portals, and bid/no-bid checklist for public contract opportunities that match what you offer.
The prompt
Help me find and qualify government contract opportunities that fit my business or professional background.
What I offer: [SERVICES / PRODUCTS - e.g. "nurse education and clinical consulting", "IT help desk", "landscaping"]
My credentials and past performance: [LICENSES, CERTIFICATIONS, PAST CLIENTS, CONTRACT SIZES]
Business status: [sole proprietor / small business / any set-aside eligibility, e.g. woman-owned, veteran-owned, minority-owned]
Geography: [CITY, COUNTY, STATE, or "national"]
Levels of government: [federal / state / county / city / school districts / public hospitals]
Contract size I can handle: [RANGE]
Give me:
1. Where to search: the types of procurement portals for my levels of government (e.g. the federal contract opportunities system, state and city procurement portals, school district and public health department bid pages), and how to set up saved searches and alerts.
2. Search terms: 15-25 keywords and the classification codes (e.g. NAICS, NIGP) likely to match my services, each marked [CONFIRM].
3. Registration steps I probably need before bidding (vendor registration, unique entity ID, certifications), in order.
4. Other routes: subcontracting with larger primes, cooperative purchasing, small-purchase and micro-purchase thresholds, and sources-sought/RFI responses.
5. A bid/no-bid scorecard: fit, eligibility, past performance match, capacity, competition, price realism, deadline, with a scoring rule.
6. A weekly 1-hour routine to keep the pipeline moving.
Do not invent specific solicitations, agencies, deadlines, or dollar amounts. If you can browse, label each listing with its source link and posting date; otherwise give me the search method only.
