Early Recompete Intelligence for Serious 8(a) Firms

This is a curated, structured intelligence file of expiring 8(a) awards — mapped by:

• Agency
• Contracting Office
• NAICS
• Incumbent
• Award value
• Period of Performance
• Graduation / Eligibility indicators

The Hard Truth: Most 8(a) firms build pipelines backwards

• They watch SAM
• Respond when something posts
• Compete late
• Burn proposal dollars
• Lose to positioning that already happened

By the time an RFP drops, the program office has already shaped the requirement.

The incumbent has been defending for months.

Teaming discussions are already underway.

Recompetes don’t start when the solicitation appears. They start 6–24 months earlier.

If you don’t know which contracts are expiring, you are reacting, not shaping.

What This Is

A structured dataset of 8(a) contracts designed to reach their ultimate completion in 2026 and 2027.

Built from base award data using a defined methodology:

• 8(a) set-aside awards
• Base award records (not lifecycle noise)
• Defined completion window targeting 2026 and 2027
• De-duplicated and structured for targeting

You start with thousands of real 8(a) lifecycle endpoints instead of dozens of public notices.

Why This Matters Now

If a contract ends in 2026, positioning is happening now.

• Budgets are aligning.
• Acquisition strategy is forming.
• Vehicles are being selected.
• Incumbents are defending.

You either enter early, or you show up late. There is no middle.

How Serious 8(a) Firms Use This

Most buyers narrow 2,000+ records down to:

20–30 high-alignment targets

• Within their NAICS
• Within their agency footprint
• Within their value band

Then they:

• Research the incumbent
• Assess graduation risk
• Begin early outreach
• Initiate teaming conversations
• Shape before the requirement is public

This is Capture discipline... not alert chasing.

What This Is — And What It Isn’t

This is:

✔ A curated intelligence file grounded in FPDS award records

✔ Built specifically for active 8(a) firms

✔ Designed for 12–24-month pipeline planning

This is NOT:

✘ A guarantee of award

✘ A legal prediction of agency behavior

✘ A replacement for your capture process

It is a structural advantage.

The ROI Logic

If this helps you:

• Avoid one unwinnable pursuit
• Save one full proposal effort
• Secure one strategic subcontracting position
• Influence one recompete early

…it pays for itself immediately.

Most 8(a) firms spend far more than this chasing noise.

This reduces wasted motion.

Who This Is For

✔ Active 8(a) firms building real pipeline

✔ CEOs and BD leaders positioning early

✔ Firms approaching graduation

✔ Companies targeting graduating incumbents

Not for passive buyers.

Not for general research.

For serious 8(a) operators.

Final Thought

The federal market is not random.

• Contracts have lifecycle structure.
• Programs have guardrails.
• Cohorts roll off in predictable windows.

Most firms wait for opportunities to appear.

The firms that win shape before they do.

If you’re serious about building pipeline from structural reality instead of SAM alerts...

This belongs in your capture process.
