Once potential contracts are identified, assess their suitability by reviewing:

1. Synopsis: A brief summary of the contract scope.
2. Statement of Work (SOW): Details on deliverables, timelines, and requirements.
3. Estimated Value: Ensure it aligns with our company’s capabilities and resources.
4. Past Award Information: If available, review similar past contracts and awarded amounts.

1. Download solicitation documents (RFQs, RFPs, or IFBs) for detailed analysis.
2. Save files in categorized folders based on urgency and feasibility.
3. Use an internal spreadsheet to track:
   
   • Opportunity title
   • Posting and due dates
   • Agency and point of contact
   • Contract value and requirements
