Browse by category
Every category below is a live, continuously updated list pulled directly from SAM.gov — filtered to federal IT NAICS codes (541511, 541512, 541519) and organized by set-aside program, service type, notice stage, agency, or location.
By set-aside program
WOSB IT Contracts
2 openThis page tracks federal information-technology solicitations set aside under the SBA's Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Economically Disadvantaged WOSB (EDWOSB) programs. Listings are pulled directly from SAM.gov and limited to opportunities coded with a WOSB or EDWOSB set-aside, so every contract shown here is one your certified WOSB or EDWOSB firm is specifically eligible to compete for.
SDVOSB IT Contracts
5 openThese are federal IT opportunities coded with an SDVOSB set-aside under FAR 19.14 — reserved for small businesses owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans. This list excludes general veteran-owned (non-disabled) set-asides and other small-business programs so you're only looking at solicitations that match your SDVOSB eligibility.
8(a) IT Contracts
1 openThis page lists federal IT solicitations coded under the SBA's 8(a) Business Development program (FAR 19.8), covering both competitive 8(a) set-asides and 8(a) sole-source awards. If your firm holds 8(a) certification, these are the IT opportunities specifically reserved for the program.
HUBZone IT Contracts
0 openThese federal IT opportunities are coded with a HUBZone set-aside under FAR 19.13, reserved for small businesses certified in Historically Underutilized Business Zones. Both standard HUBZone set-asides and HUBZone sole-source notices appear here.
Small Business IT Contracts
7 openThis page covers federal IT solicitations set aside under FAR 19.5's Total or Partial Small Business rules — open to any qualifying small business rather than a specific socioeconomic program like 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, or SDVOSB. If you're a general small business without one of those certifications, this is the broadest relevant category.
No Set-Aside IT Contracts
18 openNot every federal IT buy is reserved for a small-business program. The notices below are marked as having no set-aside on SAM.gov, meaning they are not restricted to 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB or total small business competition. You do not need a socioeconomic certification to compete, though larger firms can compete too, and these notices can also be useful leads for subcontracting or teaming. Notices that state no set-aside information at all are not included, because we cannot tell what they are.
By service type
Software Development Contracts
15 openEvery listing here is classified under NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), the code the federal government uses for custom software development, application programming, and related coding work. This is the primary NAICS code most software development small businesses register under in SAM.gov.
IT Consulting Contracts
22 openThis page tracks opportunities classified under NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), which covers IT consulting, systems integration, network design, and computer systems planning work for federal agencies.
IT Equipment & Services Contracts
28 openListings here fall under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), the federal catch-all code covering IT equipment procurement, computer facilities management, disaster recovery, and other computer services that don't fit neatly under custom programming or systems design.
Cybersecurity Contracts
1 openThis page surfaces federal IT opportunities whose titles indicate cybersecurity-related work — such as information security, security operations, penetration testing, or risk management framework support. Matching is keyword-based against the official solicitation title, so it's a helpful starting filter, not an exhaustive or certified list — always confirm scope against the full solicitation.
Web Development Contracts
0 openThis page surfaces federal IT opportunities whose titles indicate web development, website, or web application work. Matching is keyword-based against the official solicitation title, so treat it as a helpful starting filter and confirm exact scope in the full solicitation before bidding.
Software License & Renewal Contracts
13 openAgencies regularly buy software licenses, subscriptions and annual renewals as commercial purchases, often through short RFQs or sources sought notices. This page lists active notices whose titles indicate a software license, subscription, SaaS or renewal requirement. Matching is keyword-based on the official notice title, so confirm exactly what the agency is buying in the notice itself.
By notice stage
Sources Sought IT Notices
39 openSources sought notices (and requests for information) are how agencies research who can do the work before deciding how to buy it. They are not solicitations and nothing is awarded from them, but a strong response can influence whether a requirement is later set aside for small business. This page lists the active sources sought notices we track under NAICS 541511, 541512 and 541519, taken from SAM.gov.
Open IT Solicitations
19 openThese are notices where the agency is actively asking for quotes or proposals: standard solicitations and combined synopsis/solicitation notices, the format agencies commonly use for commercial purchases such as software, equipment and IT services. Unlike a sources sought notice, a response here is an actual offer, so check the deadline and instructions in the official SAM.gov notice before you start.
Upcoming IT Contracts
7 openA presolicitation notice tells the market that an agency intends to issue a solicitation soon. It is the closest thing to advance warning in federal contracting: you can read the requirement, check eligibility and line up teaming partners before the formal solicitation arrives. This page lists the active presolicitation notices we track for NAICS 541511, 541512 and 541519.
By agency
VA IT Contracts
14 openThis page lists IT opportunities issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs across our tracked small-business NAICS codes (541511, 541512, 541519). It's organized by issuing agency rather than set-aside type, so it includes VA IT work across all set-aside types alongside full-and-open notices.
DoD & DHS IT Contracts
35 openThis page lists IT opportunities issued by the Department of Defense (including its service branches and defense agencies) and the Department of Homeland Security, across our tracked small-business NAICS codes. It's organized by issuing agency, so it spans all set-aside types alongside full-and-open notices.
Air Force IT Contracts
7 openThis page lists active Department of the Air Force notices under NAICS 541511, 541512 and 541519, across its commands and contracting offices. It is organized by issuing department, so it includes every notice type and set-aside, and it overlaps with our DoD & DHS page by design: this one narrows to a single military department.
Navy & Marine Corps IT Contracts
10 openThis page lists active Department of the Navy notices, which include Navy commands and the Marine Corps, under NAICS 541511, 541512 and 541519. It is organized by issuing department, so it spans every notice type and set-aside, and it overlaps with our DoD & DHS page by design: this one narrows to a single military department.
Army IT Contracts
6 openThis page lists active Department of the Army notices, including those from the Army Corps of Engineers, under NAICS 541511, 541512 and 541519. It is organized by issuing department, so it spans every notice type and set-aside, and it overlaps with our DoD & DHS page by design: this one narrows to a single military department.
By location
Virginia IT Contracts
9 openThese are active federal IT notices (NAICS 541511, 541512 and 541519) where SAM.gov lists Virginia as the place of performance. Many agencies buy IT in Virginia, particularly in the Washington, DC metro area, so this page shows which notices are actually performed there. Notices that list no place of performance cannot be matched to a state and do not appear here. Looking for the Department of Veterans Affairs? See our VA IT Contracts page.
Washington, DC IT Contracts
13 openThese are active federal IT notices (NAICS 541511, 541512 and 541519) where SAM.gov lists Washington, DC as the place of performance. Because most federal headquarters sit in the District, this page tends to surface civilian-agency and headquarters-level IT work. Notices that list no place of performance cannot be matched to a location and do not appear here.
