 All right today, we're discussing the National Park Service as you may know I'm actually doing the same thing that I'm teaching you guys out there I'm working with the federal government and I'm trying to solicit them for business. I'm looking for work I'm looking for projects and I have a client of mine that we're working with up in the Northeast United States and One of the potential clients that we're looking at one of the potential agencies I'm looking at is the National Park Service. So I had the privilege of speaking with someone from the Denver Service Center the other day I spoke with a person from National Parks and they gave me some good ideas And I want to share that with you and all of you out there so that maybe this could potentially help someone That's watching my YouTube channel. That's following me landed contract with the National Park Service. All right, so let's take a look at the National Park Service and what I want to show you right now I'm over here on my computer and as you can see If we type in National Park falls under the Department of Interior. So let's type in Department of Interior Forecast list we click here click forecast and it lists the procurement opportunities fiscal year 2018 forecast list Now the information that the young woman share with me Here's forecast list if you click this link It pulls up an Excel spreadsheet I'm gonna go ahead and pull up that spreadsheet now and all this spreadsheet you will see is a list And that's what it looks like Actually, it's letting me write the bottom of the page but on the spreadsheet, which I'll find there's 1951 opportunities and they're organized by contract types. It gives you a name of the opportunity It also tells you the value range Of the job it tells you where the place performance is an appointed contact name and number All right, and this again this is for 2018 projects So right now We are in july 2018 the fiscal federal year ends in september 30th of 2018 Therefore you have about two months or a month and a half left before the fiscal year ends The information that they suddenly provided to me was that a lot of times Even though the Denver service center is the place or the distribution point of all contracts for national parks The local parks also they give out their own procurement And for a lot of people out there that are looking for a single simplified acquisition or micro purchases This is a great opportunity for you to solicit directly to a national park in your local area And also find a potential opportunity or maybe find an opportunity to work with them. So what happens is I understand from my phone calls weekly phone calls with subscribers like yourself that a lot of people are wanting to small off with Small opportunities under the $10,000 threshold under the $25,000 threshold This is your place to go to do that and also be close to your Geographical location whatever city-state that you live in so it's it's I want to compare it to More like a state or a local contract because it's close in terms of proximity to your actual physical location However, you're getting federal past performance federal jobs and it's also a small project So if you want to if you're afraid of going up to the larger things or if you don't have past performance Um sufficient past performance you believe to pursue a much larger opportunity This is the place that I would say that you could go right away You there's probably in your local area. They may be 10 or 15 numbers So it's very easy manageable a number of people to call to reach out to to solicit Nothing extraordinary, but at the same time You gain the benefit of working in the federal marketplace. So as you can see There is 1950 opportunities to have them in all states. Everyone has a national park in their state You could sort by states and you could pick or choose the ones that are closest to you So this is a way of using the forecast list to identify potential future clients for jobs and opportunities coming up Even if you're not successful in landing something right now You still have the opportunity you're still building relationships You're still making connections and from my understanding if the person at the local level, right? They like you and they want to do business with you They can then refer that back up to the Denver service center for larger contracts for larger opportunities for set-aside jobs for Negotiate type proposals. All right. So this is your tip it for today. Take advantage The national park service their forecast list of almost 2000 opportunities for the last 60 days left before the federal fiscal year ends
