The federal market exploded with 1,756 new opportunities in 48 hours, but the distribution is strikingly uneven. Defense manufacturing dominates so completely that it is reshaping where contractors should focus immediately. With only 6 opportunities closing within a week, the urgency is lower than typical, but the scale and concentration demand tactical attention.
