Pursuits

Annotated descriptions of the Main Pursuits Page and the Pursuit Detail Page

Pipelines on GovTribe contain your Pursuits, and each Pursuit represents an individual contract or grant opportunity (or Award that you're pursuing as a recompete) that you are pursuing or evaluating to possibly pursue.

Pursuits can be created from or linked to one or more Opportunities or Awards that you find on GovTribe. They can also be created manually from the Pipeline page, and not linked to any existing information in GovTribe's database.

The Main Pursuits Page

The Pursuits page lists all Opportunities that you have decided to pursue and added as a Pursuit. (See Step 2: Find and Add Pursuits to Your Pipeline for more information.)

To access the Pursuits Page:

Step 1. Go to: Main Menu >> Capture >> Pursuits.

The Pursuits page will be displayed, which allows you to view Opportunities that you have identified as Pursuits. The standard GovTribe search functionality allows you to search these Pursuits in many different ways.

The Overview Page

When you click on a Pursuit from the Pursuit Search page (or a Pursuit’s link elsewhere in GovTribe), the Pursuit Detail Page is displayed:

The left-hand side will be dedicated to showing you statistics such as probable value, estimate value, win probability for this pursuit. You can adjust these from the edit menu:

In the middle of the overview page, you will be able to view any tasks associated with this pursuit, as well as links to other modules in GovTribe that are related to this pursuit - such as direct links to the original contract, the agency who had posted that contract, any NAICS codes used etc:

Pipeline progression will show you what stage this pursuit is set to within the pipeline it resides in. You can change the stage by simply clicking the title of one of the non-active stages:

Pursuit Files

This tab allows you and your team to upload your own documents to associate with this Pursuit.

The Government Files Tab

This tab provides access to Government files automatically associated with the Pursuit.

The Discussions Tab

This tab allows you to communicate with your team members about the Pursuit in one location, which becomes a permanent part of the Pursuit’s record on your account. This feature helps you collaborate with your team in one central place, as opposed to emails that can be lost, misfiled, and forgotten.

Any account member can start a new discussion by clicking the + Add Discussion button in the upper right corner. Each Discussion has a title and a space for long-form descriptive text. You can also add files to a Discussion, allowing you to contextually annotate any file attachments you need to add to the Pursuit.

Any account member can add a comment to the Discussion by clicking the + Add Comment button in the Discussion’s area.

See Collaborate with Your Team section for more information.

Custom Fields

The Custom Fields functionality allows you to add custom fields to a Pursuit so that you can track data that is unique to your organization and its needs. Once that data is added, it can then be displayed in your list of Pursuits, and is also available in the .cvs export of Pursuit Data.
