Start with a short how-to. Or open the tools if you already know what you need.
See where the government spends money. Find open work that matches what you sell. Get help on your first offer. See which company won last time before you write yours.
Short how-tos. How to get your company listed in SAM. How to find open work. How to send your first offer. Read one. Then do what it says.
Start a lesson →Each how-to ends with one thing to do the same day.
List your business so other veteran shops on FedM8 can find you. Primes still look on SAM and DSBS. You pick what shows.
Here's how teaming works. The government often signs with a bigger company. That company then hires partners — subs and 1099s. Official lists (SAM, DSBS) still matter. Your FedM8 listing is extra, not a replacement.

A review is a reading of the official listing. It is not your bid. We only fill a field when we can point to one place on the notice. When extracted sources disagree, review both cited excerpts and check the original documents. Missing information and unavailable extraction are shown separately.
Section C says period of performance is 12 months. An attachment says 18 months with no amendment.
The government already publishes who won. Looking that up by yourself can take wasted hours. The Pro plan puts the winners, dollar amounts, and when similar awards end, all on one screen for you.
Open USAspending. Filter NAICS. Export. Match solicitation IDs. Look up each incumbent. Repeat when an amendment drops.
Pick the notice. See who won work like this, what they were paid, and when similar awards end. Then decide whether to bid.
A short lesson is there if you want the how-to.
