Federal Contract Opportunities on GovTribe are mined in near realtime from the authoritative website for federal contracting opportunities, . (Any data prior to November 2019 came from .)
There are some types of Federal Contract Opportunities that GovTribe is not able to post. These are generally any opportunities that are being bid on limited competition multiple award vehicles. For example, GSA Schedule opportunities cannot be found on GovTribe. This is because the GSA has a private portal available only to GSA Schedule contract holders ) and specifically disallows companies like GovTribe to mine and re-post that information.
Many GWACs (Governmentwide Acquisition vehicles) or large IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity) contracts also have private portals with similar restrictions. Procurements under the and are also run through eBuy. The Navy's has its own private acquisition portal with similar restrictions on reposting solicitation information.
It is also important to understand that a large number of smaller multiple award IDIQ contracts do not post public solicitations at all. Procurements under IDIQs like Homeland Security's Eagle II are executed by government contracting personnel emailing solicitation documents directly to contract-holders. So it is not possible for GovTribe to acquire and repost those.
We also do not have any classified opportunities, you will need to access ARC to see any of those.
