ABOUT THE ADVISOR CONTRACT SEARCH PORTAL

Public-sector opportunity research built for Advisors.

The Advisor Contract Search Portal brings state, local, municipal, educational, utility, and special-district opportunities into a State Contract Search dashboard, and nationwide federal opportunities into a separate Federal Contract Search dashboard, for business-development professionals.

Built for Advisors

One practical research environment

Designed for SBDC Advisors, economic-development professionals, Chamber and business-assistance staff, procurement-support Advisors, and other authorized business-development organizations.

Dashboard 1 · Local & Regional

State Contract Search

Search opportunities organized by the work you perform — Industry, Service Category, Work Type — across county departments, municipal cities, school districts, colleges, transportation authorities, utilities, and other local public entities. Live today in Arizona, Nevada, and California, with national expansion underway.

Dashboard 2 · Nationwide

Federal Contract Search

Simply enter the client's business name. A personalized dashboard is built specifically for that business, and current open federal government contract opportunities — automatically matched to that business's registered NAICS codes — are populated to the dashboard. Filter results by State, Notice Type, Set-Aside, Date Posted, and Keywords (title, agency, or solicitation number).

Search by the Work Government Is Buying

No procurement-code expertise required

Contracts are organized from titles, descriptions, scope summaries, and work requirements using an authoritative three-level taxonomy.

Industry
→ Service Category
→ Work Type

This lets the Advisor begin with a direct question: What kind of work is the government buying?
