USDA announces Forecast of Business Opportunities

USDA values the contributions of small business entities and continues to champion tools to make contracting opportunities more readily available to all eligible firms and to remove barriers faced by underserved individuals and communities. USDA has an increased emphasis on providing tools that engage small disadvantaged businesses across the U.S. and provide maximum opportunities to participate in USDA's contracting process.

In support of this emphasis, USDA is excited to announce a new Procurement Forecast website, located at Forecast of Business Opportunities | USDA (www.usda.gov/procurement-forecast). The tool provides small businesses with a user-friendly way to search and filter the USDA procurement forecast to easily identify the opportunities most relevant to them, and to download the results for easy reference. Forecast data for fiscal years 2023 to 2025 is currently available. The new tool is a dramatic improvement in data transparency, increases accuracy, provides additional data fields, and allows for more frequent updates.
