The federal market absorbed 2,000 new opportunities in the past two days, but the distribution is starkly skewed. Manufacturing claimed 1,543 of those postings, creating a rare moment of sector concentration. The Dept of Defense posted 1,724 of the 2,000 total, signaling a sustained procurement push that small and mid-size firms should treat as time-sensitive.
