What happens after a presolicitation

The agency typically follows with a solicitation, but a presolicitation does not commit it to issuing one. Watch the notice on SAM.gov for updates, and see our open solicitations page for notices that are already accepting quotes or proposals.

How to use this page

Treat these as a pipeline rather than a bid list. Note the agency, NAICS code and set-aside, then decide whether to prepare capability materials or find a teaming partner while there is still time.
