FEDERAL INTELLIGENCE FOR PROCUREMENT LAWYERS

Wanted: Government Contract Attorneys

Government contract attorneys serve clients better when they see what's coming. GovProcure tracks every expiring federal contract, pricing trend, and sole-source award — so you can advise clients before the deadline, not after.

The Challenge

Government contract attorneys face three critical information gaps.

Recompete Calendar Mystery

Your clients ask "when does my competitor's contract expire?" and finding that answer means hours of searching through USASpending.gov (the federal database of all government spending). GovProcure pulls that data automatically every week.

Pricing Data Buried

Bid protest arguments (formal challenges to a competitor winning a contract) are stronger when you have pricing data showing what the agency paid before. That pricing history is buried in thousands of contract records.

Sole-Source Patterns

Sole-source contracts (where the government buys from one vendor without competitive bidding) follow patterns by agency — but monitoring them without a data feed is nearly impossible.

How GovProcure Helps

A5 Recompete Calendar

Every week, we pull contracts that are expiring in the next 60-90 days, sorted by industry code. You see who currently holds each contract, what it was worth, and which agency is buying. That's the starting point for any recompete strategy.

A1 Incumbent Analysis

Know who currently holds contracts with each agency and in each service category. When your client wants to pursue a recompete or unseat a competitor, this data shows you the landscape — how many contractors are on the vehicle, what they've won before, and their track record.

A2 Pricing Intelligence

Win bid protests with real market data. Our A2 report shows exactly what agencies paid for similar services in recent awards — giving you legitimate comps for price-reasonableness arguments instead of guesswork.

C4 State Procurement Summary

See the complete picture of federal spending in your jurisdiction. Which agencies are buying what, and which are expanding procurement spend in your state — valuable context for long-term client strategy.

What You Get Each Week

Weekly Deliverables

  • Contracts expiring in the next 60-90 days by NAICS code (industry classification)
  • Current incumbent contractors by agency and service category
  • Pricing benchmarks from recent awards in key service areas
  • Active sole-source and limited-competition solicitations (meaning the government is only accepting bids from a restricted group)
  • State-level contracting trends for jurisdiction-specific work

Questions We Hear All the Time

Q: How do I find out when my client's competitor's contract is expiring?

Our A5 Recompete Calendar pulls expiration data directly from USASpending.gov (the federal spending database) every week. You enter the industry code or agency, and we show you every contract ending in the next 60-90 days — including who holds it and what it was worth. That's the starting point for any recompete strategy.

Q: What data helps me argue a bid protest on price reasonableness?

A bid protest on price reasonableness means arguing that your client should have won because their price was competitive. Our A2 Pricing Intelligence report shows exactly what agencies paid for similar services in recent awards — giving you real market comps instead of guesswork.

Q: How often do federal agencies use sole-source awards, and which ones do it most?

A sole-source award is when the government buys from one specific vendor without competition. It's legal under certain conditions (urgent need, unique capability, small dollar amounts). Our R-series national trend reports show which agencies rely on sole-source most heavily, and our A1 incumbent analysis shows who benefits from those awards.

Q: What is a task order and how does competition work under a vehicle contract?

A vehicle contract (also called an IDIQ — Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity — or a GWAC — Government-Wide Acquisition Contract) is a master agreement that lets agencies place individual orders (task orders) against it. Competition happens twice: once to get on the vehicle, and again when task orders are competed among vehicle holders. GovProcure tracks both levels.

Q: When must a federal agency publish a justification before a sole-source award?

Under FAR Part 6 (the Federal Acquisition Regulation — the rulebook for all federal purchasing), agencies must publish a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for sole-source awards above $25,000. We track J&A publications weekly so attorneys can monitor for patterns or potential protest grounds.
