 Hey, GovCon Giant's family, Eric Covey here, you're a host and today we are looking at the sources sought, notices and RFIs for this past week. If you are new to my channel and you don't know what a sources sought is, on BetaSAM you will find under the category, if we take a look at contract opportunities, you're going to find a category under notice types here. Select notice and it says sources sought. This is a great way to market your business to federal agencies and because of that, we each week we try and look at all the sources sought notices, scour through them in an effort to help you do better business with the government, advertise your business, market yourself and let them know that you're out here. So today we're going to discuss this past week's opportunities. So let's take a look, I'm here on BetaSAM and I've already pulled it down but just to walk everyone through it, I click publish, past week, I hit filter and then it gives me a result of 525 results and then from there I click the download button, the screen comes up, I click CSV so that I can pull it into Excel and then I click the button download and begins the download process. Now I've already kind of done this, so this is what it looks like on the screen here and this week we're going to take a look and we've already pulled it into Excel so that we can easily scroll and browse the opportunities quickly, fast and be able to go through and see exactly what we're looking for because on Beta.SAM if you noticed you can only look at 20 opportunities, you have to click the page, wait for the load, click the page, wait for the load, so this way I can actually scroll and then a couple minutes look at everything. So let's take a look and see if we see anything interesting today. Let's go ahead and look, HVAC, where is that at? There's an HVAC project here, there is a building renovation project at the VA hospital, Medical Center in Bay Pines, Florida that's in Tampa, let's see, lease of some office base, remotely piloted
