Overview

The Federal Procurement Data System is the master repository of federal contract activity and contains millions of contract actions that NEVER hit SAM.gov. Through the FPDS, you can gain up-to-date contract activity in your market so that you mine FPDS.gov for:

  1. Identify hidden agency contract activity
  2. Research competitors
  3. Find buyers in your space
  4. Track contract spending
  5. Position your company for future hidden contracts

While FPDS.gov is a powerful tool, especially for those interested in federal contracting, it is antiquated and can be cumbersome to use. This training session will show you practical methods to quickly get to the critical information you need to compete in your federal market and provide real-time interaction with attendees.

With the right knowledge in hand, you and your company can gain an edge over your competition. Not to mention, this training session offers the unique opportunity to find subcontracting and teaming opportunities as well.
