The federal market moved decisively toward manufacturing this week, with 900 new manufacturing opportunities entering SAM.gov against a backdrop of 1526 total new postings. The Department of Defense accounts for 1126 of those postings, establishing a clear supply-chain reprioritization. For small and mid-size contractors, this represents both a concentration of opportunity and a warning: the market is narrowing into specific capability areas.
