Procurement forecasts are released by individual agencies and can be found on their websites, typically under their Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) pages; they are definitely worth tracking, but you need to know how to use them. The forecasts are planning documents, not solicitations, and they list potential contract opportunities that an agency expects to issue over the next 12 to 18 months. My firm checks the forecasts of agencies that buy a lot of office products and services, like the Department of Defense, GSA, and Veterans Affairs. We look for opportunities that align with our NAICS code and past performance. You will not find a central database for all federal procurement forecasts, because each agency is responsible for publishing its own. When you find one, note the estimated solicitation release date and the point of contact. You can reach out to the point of contact, usually a small business specialist, to introduce your company and learn more about the upcoming requirement. This outreach can help you get ahead of the sources sought notices. Remember, these are just forecasts, so the actual solicitations may differ in scope, timing, or even be canceled.
