How contractors use the GovernmentQB Market Research dashboard

Whether you are chasing your first federal award or planning your next re-compete, the dashboard is built around your own keywords and NAICS codes. Here is how contractors put it to work.

Screenshots show the real pages with made-up example data.

Use case 1

How does a new small business find its first agency?

The problem

You are registered in SAM.gov but not sure which agencies buy what you sell, or whether your public profile helps or hurts you.

How the dashboard helps

Start with the free evaluations of your SBA and SAM.gov profiles. Then use Market Intelligence to see what each agency cares about, and New Vendors to find agencies that actually award to newcomers.

The problem
