Procurement History for Market Research Report

Business Scenarios

This report is by Product or Service Code and available government wide with the ability to drill down to the Department, Contracting Agency and other levels. This report is ideal for answering this type of business question:

Where can I look for the Small Business vendors who I can buy a particular product or service from? Where are the other federal agencies buying their products or services?

For instance, how many Small Business vendors were successful at obtaining a contract worth $1,000,000.00 for Telephones services and equipment? Are there at least three Small Businesses that have received an award for this type of product or service which would allow this contract to be set aside for Small Business?
