How to do Federal Market Research in USASpending.gov

Presentation: 24.01.11 How to do Federal Market Research in USASpending.gov.pdf



Does your business have the information it needs to be successful in federal contracting? Are you aware of the free, publicly available tools to help you identify buyers, competitors, partners, and opportunities? A foundational understanding of the federal contracting market is essential in developing strategies to pursue federal procurement opportunities. The intelligence you gather from public sources that we will explore will help you differentiate in the competitive government contracting market. Knowing who buys what you sell, how they’re buying it, and who they’re buying from is essential for your success as a vendor at the Department of Veterans Affairs and other government agencies. Join us in this informative, hands-on series as we demonstrate how to use market research tools to identify opportunities, position your business for success, and get the desired results.


USASpending.gov is an easy-to-use database that enables you to quickly answer your most common government contracting questions: who are the federal buyers? What do they buy? Who do they buy it from? What are the timelines, set-asides, and vehicles relevant to my target market? This training will teach you how to easily find and download the data, analyze it, and prioritize your findings to improve your understanding of the federal market.
