GovReady, powered by Bidspeed (formerly SBA E2G), weekly practical federal contract training session focused on one of the biggest business development challenges small businesses face: identifying and preparing for expiring contracts before the recompete hits the street.

This session will show you how to use expiring contract data to spot upcoming opportunities earlier, build a stronger pipeline, and take smarter capture actions before solicitation release.

Why Expiring Contracts Matter How to Identify Upcoming Recompetes Using Contract History to Evaluate Opportunities Turning Expiring Contracts into Capture Actions Schedule a 1:1: https://meet.bidspeed.com/meetings/bidspeed/onboarding
