Market Research Tool

The NextStage Market Research feature allows you to find public contracting opportunities and contracting data to find new opportunities or conduct market research.

Once you have accessed the Market Research tool you will see a dropdown to choose your source. By default, we only show solicitations with response dates that are not past due. If you would like to look at historical solicitations, you can remove the “Open” filter.

As you can see in the photo below, we are able to pull in opportunities from SAM.gov. The SAM.gov option in Market Research comes included with your subscription for no extra charge.

You can also refine your search by adding additional filters on the results. For instance, if you would like to only see solicitations issued by a specific agency, select your agency of choice in the Agency dropdown and the results will update automatically.

If you’d like to find out more about a specific result, clicking on the result will open a window on the right hand side containing details about the solicitation’s history, documents, and contact information. You’ll also find the source of our information, so you can verify the accuracy of the data.

You can also add this opportunity to your pipeline by clicking the Add to Pipeline button. This will create a new opportunity in the pipeline of your choosing. We’ll associate the newly created opportunity with the pipeline so you can receive updates on the solicitation.

If there’s a search that you run repeatedly, you can quickly access results by creating a Saved Search. You’ll also receive a summary of the new search results in your daily NextStage email. You can create a saved search by clicking the “Save Search” button to the right of the search bar. This will create a Saved Search with all current filters and keywords.

You will be able to access your Saved Search from the Saved page on the side menu.

The Market Research feature also allows you to search for historical awards on NextStage. You can use award search to identify new contract vehicles, potential teaming partners, and potential clients. NextStage’s award data is the same underlying data as FPDS, but augmented with other data so that you can identify which contract vehicle or GSA schedule awards are associated with.

Start searching for awards by selecting the awards tab to the right of the search bar. You can refine your results by selecting filters. You can create new opportunities in the pipeline of your choosing when you click the Add to Pipeline option. We’ll automatically associate the historical award with the newly created pipeline so you have access to the most up to date information.
