The federal market posted 236 new opportunities over the last two days, with Defense driving an overwhelming 195 of those. Manufacturing alone captured 175 new postings, signaling either a major procurement push or sustained backlog clearing at the Pentagon. The volume is notable not just in raw count but in composition: small business set-asides account for nearly a third of all new work.
