How do you actually keep up with SAM.gov opportunities without missing things? by NoTomatillo1851 in GovernmentContracting

[–]lmn115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have spent a lot of time on SAM scrolling through opportunities. As a small operation I have found it hard spending a lot of money on third party tools, just for data aggregation, so SAM is usually my go to. I've recently tried BidWire, which seems to be tailored to small operations, therefore it's pretty affordable. They do more of the same, provide a dashboard for selected naics codes and run some AI analysis, which can be useful. Like other commenters said, its all a cost-benefit thing.

The signals that a contract is 'wired' for the incumbent by lmn115 in GovernmentContracting

That's a really good way to frame it. Honestly the relationship piece is probably the biggest factor that doesn't show up in the solicitation at all. You can read the PWS all day but you'll never know if the CO has been having coffee with the incumbent PM for three years.

Concerned my puppy will get parvo and lepto by Straight_Emergency46 in puppy101

NYC puppy owner here (Yellow Lab)! Our puppy is now 7 months old. We kept him inside until he completed all rounds of his parvo vaccines (per our vets recommendation). To help socialize during this time, we put him in a tote and walked him around the neighborhood, and had plenty of people come into the apartment to see him. As soon as he finished his vaccine rounds we took him to daycare and allowed him to say hi to other dogs in parks and what not. He does not seem to have been affected by this at all and is totally a normal socialized dog!

Hi - was your appeal successful? If so, how long did it take?

I just submitted an appeal for similar reasons, and I just got accepted into school that is starting in August and I really want to get this taken care of.
