Stop waiting for solicitations to hit SAM.gov. CLEATUS now gives you early visibility into upcoming procurement opportunities and recompetes — so you can start positioning your team months before the competition even knows an opportunity exists.

What's New

Two powerful new filters are now live in Contract Search:

🔹 Forecasts — Official government procurement forecasts published by federal agencies, giving you a window into what agencies plan to buy.

🔹 Pre-Forecasts — AI-generated recompete predictions built by CLEATUS using USASpending award data and contracts in our database. These surface opportunities that are likely coming up for recompetition — before any formal forecast or solicitation is published.

How It Works

Head to Contract Search and use the Forecast or Pre-Forecast filters to browse upcoming opportunities. Both are separate filters so you can explore them independently or together.

💡 Coming soon: Pre-Forecasts V2 will also identify contract vehicles (IDIQs, GWACs, MACs) approaching the end of their lifecycle — giving you even earlier intelligence on major recompetes.

Why It Matters

✅ Start capture strategy months in advance — build relationships with the contracting office and understand requirements before the solicitation drops

✅ Identify recompetes before your competitors do — Pre-Forecasts surface opportunities that haven't been formally announced yet

✅ Plan your pipeline proactively — instead of reacting to solicitations, build a forward-looking capture calendar

✅ Research incumbents and positioning — use the award data to understand who holds the current contract and how to differentiate your bid

Get Started

Head to Contract Search and look for the Forecast and Pre-Forecast filters. Start exploring upcoming opportunities and add the best ones to your pipeline to kick off your capture process early.

Happy hunting! 🎯
