### About Federal Forecasts on GovTribe

The Federal Forecasts available on GovTribe are aggregated from the DOJ, DHS, HHS, USAID, GSA, Commerce, Treasury and NASA at this time. To request additional agencies and sources, [please do so here](https://govtribe.canny.io/feature-requests). These records are brought into GovTribe daily from their respective [GovTribe Sources](https://docs.govtribe.com/user-guide/account-administration-and-support/terms-of-use#4.2.-federal-opportunity-and-award-data-sources). 

#### Forecast Data Exceptions 

Currently, we are selectively integrating data from the aforementioned agencies to maintain the highest standards of data integrity. Our Federal Forecasts within GovTribe strictly encompass those with concrete record components. Consequently, any prospective "forecasts" alluded to during industry engagements, such as Industry Day discussions, that lack definitive documentation or validation are not incorporated into our GovTribe Federal Forecasts.
