|
| ## `federal-niche-winnability-2026` — flagship |
| Every federal NAICS niche (with ≥ 10 tracked awards) scored for **winnability**, derived from 40,000+ |
| federal awards. 287 niches. Each carries a 0–100 **Target Score** for small and large businesses, contractor |
| concentration, set-aside dollar shares by category, typical bidder counts, active opportunities, and the |
| 12-month recompete pipeline. |
|
|
| `Target Score = 0.5 × openness + 0.5 × edge`, where openness = 100 − the top-3 contractors' dollar share, and |
| edge = the set-aside work you qualify for (small business) or the full-and-open share (large business). All |
| inputs are derived from public USAspending & SAM.gov data. Explore it interactively at |
| https://govsentry.ai/tools/opportunity-finder. |
|
|
| ## `us-state-procurement-portals` |
| Every state & local eProcurement portal we track (50 states + DC), including the **underlying platform vendor** |
| (Jaggaer, Bonfire, BidNet, Ionwave, …) — a breakdown few sources publish. |
|
|
| ## `naics-codes-2022` |
| NAICS (2022) codes and titles used in US federal contracting. |
|
|
| ## `state-contract-stats-2026` |
| Per-state federal contract activity: historical award counts, dollars, and active opportunities. |
