 Hello everyone. Welcome to my channel today. We are discussing bid opportunities and beta.sam. It is now the actual third quarter of the fiscal year. So if you are not familiar with the government's fiscal cycle, they end on September the 30th. And so now we're in April, May, June, which is the third quarter. July, August and September is the fourth quarter. And for those of you who may not be aware, if you visit our website, govcongiants.com for its last pricing, you'll see some of our courses and structural materials. And also we do have mentoring and coaching available. I know we've been getting asked that question a lot. But in today's video, we're going to discuss beta.sam.gov. We're going to take a look at what are some of the opportunities for the fourth quarter. It looks like I've been signed out. So we will go ahead and sign me back in. And let's start off in beta.sam and we want to look at contract opportunities. So I'm going to click here, click contract opportunities, do a quick search. And remember, in the fourth quarter, they are making all of their contract decisions. But in the third quarter, what the government is doing is they're actually meeting with contractors. They're discussing, they're doing market research and finding out who is the best potential contractors to work with. So now is the time to make those phone calls, send those emails, get in front of the five players that you need to meet. Go back and watch the video that we did with Julie Bratt, get in front of those program managers, get in front of the decision makers, get in front of the influencers, get in front of site managers, engineers, whoever it is that you need to get in front of to find out how you can help solve some of the government's challenges, needs, problems that they have and create opportunities for yourself. So we're going to look at here where they actively post some of those challenges, some of those needs, and a lot of that market research here in beta.sam. So the first thing we're going to do is going to look at sources notices. And then I want to see those published in the last week, click the filter button, and it gives me 529 results. So we're going to download that because in beta.sam, because it is a beta version, it's still really difficult to navigate. So we download that click CSV file, click the download button. And once it downloads, we then reopen it back in Excel. And so once we open it back in Excel, it looks like this. And so this is our Excel file of our opportunities. And we can go through them and scroll through all 529 and seconds, right, we can also use Excel to search for keywords, and to be able to filter sort in a whole bunch of other cool things that truthfully beta.sam really doesn't allow you to do. So let's go through and look at this market research. This source of thought, again, for those who don't know, it's called sources. Sometimes people say RFI, some people call it market research. This is your opportunity to get in front of the government and find out what it is that they're looking to procure in the next in the recent time, right? So I wouldn't say it's necessarily next 30 days. Sometimes it can be immediate, sometimes it can be 30 days, sometimes it could be three months out. But they are doing market research in a scary avenue to pursue. Let's let me make a caveat to make a caveat first. To pursue if you have all the qualifications. So if you do not have all the qualifications to meet these requirements, then you're really wasting your time. But if you do have all the qualifications, or if you can put together a team of people of companies that can show on paper demonstrate that you have the ability to meet all these qualifications, then this is a great avenue to pursue. And again, who can't, given the information, put together a team, because they're telling what they're looking for, what they're asking for, you just have to assemble all the moving parts and pieces together. So let's just go through a couple of these opportunities real quick. Software upgrades. That sounds interesting. They've got dredging project controllers. And I'm going to pull up this other screen because here it's a little bit bigger for those of you who may be stretching the eyes. So I don't want everybody to stretch the eyes over at crane design, installation removal and disposal. I know some people that do cranes. This is for logistics, qualified contractors seeking to perform. Okay. Some kind of logistic services. What we'll do, we're going to get into some of these, right? So I normally on these videos, I go down into them and we do analysis blood donor specimen testing services, installation moving. Oh, this is cool. Okay. This is moving from a pole. So let's pull this one up. This one looks pretty neat. Come here, copy it. Jump back over to beta.sam on the keywords paste. And then we open it up and we'll take a look and see what. All right. So here we go. Installation moving BPA. BPA stands for what? Blanket Purchase Agreement. So Blanket Purchase Agreement. This is good long term contract. All right. It wants to pull it down. So it's down on the files. Let's go ahead and download it. Pull it up on the big screen here and see what we have. All right. This is the write up. That's what they're looking for. Now, this is interesting because it gives you plans. So this is a pretty thorough document they're giving you here to understand what the full scope is of these services, pricing everything. I mean, this is this is pretty thorough. All right. Let's see. Direct to public works. All right. So you're actually moving a person. All right. So this is interesting because really, it looks like, all right, Fort Worth, Kansas installation moving BPA June 5th or June 4th, 2026. All right. So it looks like you'll be moving that person. And again, without reading and get all the details, I'm just projecting. But based on that, that those line items looks like that's what you're proposing. But again, this is a great way, right? This is likely to be a simplified acquisition. So if you are a small business company, and you have any of the designations, women owned hub zone, whatever the case may be, you can submit here, right? And let them know that and it's interesting because this says it's a small business set aside. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, okay. All right. Great. All right. So it is, it's still a source of thought. It's still the source of thought notice. So it's still source of thought notice. It was a little confusing the way they included this particular document, but it is still source of thought notice, which means that, and I believe it's going to fall into simplified acquisition because it looks small. That means that they can actually sole source this particular project to you. So given the nature that it is in the source of thought phase, you can submit that you and show them and demonstrate how you can actually perform these types of services and give yourself a shot at doing the actual moving. So this is a good one for someone. I hope someone listening out here actually pursues this. I'd be curious to see what happens. Also, if you do pursue it, let me know. Look at this prep school system football coaches. How many football coaches do you know that are actually going to be looking at this type of website, right? Not many. So again, this is kind of stuff that I tell people about. We know the people that do services like this, but we're not letting them know about it. So they're not going to be accessible. So how we orbit floor machine, depot level repair and maintenance support, hemosphere monitoring system, medium blasting boot system, rotary pumps, interface, elevator maintenance, mobile command post trailers. That's pretty neat. Trailers are pretty easy. Looking for worship leaders, industry day event, notification. So this, this, let me just show you guys. It looks to me, but this is classified. Let's see what the government's looking for here. Sorry guys, I didn't flip the screen. All right. Let's see what they're looking for. Robinson virtual industry day. All right. So look at this, the government therefore seeking companies who have reverse engineering repair development capabilities. This is interesting. What they're asking you to produce quad charts. If you have not already, we have a video on quad charts and we actually even have a free download on examples of quad charts. I want to dig a little bit further into this one because this is EV joint stars, network accelerator. All right. So the government's looking for someone to reverse engineer these particular components. All right. So this sounds like, actually, I have a, we have a couple of students that do this kind of stuff. People are manufacturing. This actually makes a lot of sense for them to make these extruders and things for this particular plan. So this is, this is actually nice. And then not only that, it gives you the price of the pay for this stuff. So this is, that's actually a pretty nice opportunity. I like that one. I'm actually going to highlight this. I got some people in mind that I know will be interested. And so, you know, you see how interesting, you know, it's fascinating that this, it's called virtual industry day, right? And then they're like, but here it does say reverse engineering repair development capability. So that's pretty, that's pretty cool. temporary structure for screening area. temporary structures are pretty standard. You can buy those off the shelf nowadays. But then look into it and find out trailer rentals. Anyone could provide trailer rentals. That's very simple, basic, easy to start with. Armed force recruiting center. Okay, so they're looking at lease office space five years. All my realtors out there, you know, people from that in real estate industry always call me and I show them this stuff and they still don't get it. Five year IDIQ for hand pumps and supported general purpose electronic test. Okay, that's interesting looking for hand pumps. All right, that's interesting enough. Scientific technical IDIQ. All right. You need to go into the details. I'm not going to get into that one because partisan, there's an Air Force Base single work task order contract to construct facilities. So again, if you are near Shriver Air Force Base, I don't know where that's at, but let's take a look and see where's Shriver. I'm sure that if you know Shriver, let's see Shriver Air Force Base, Colorado. Okay. All right, let's see. Colon housing, DLA, he's looking for research. IDIQ for thermal imager is for some test equipment. The government, if you notice, they are going towards a lot more IDIQ, so it's great that you can learn how to do them, how to qualify for them, how to participate. Let me go over to the bigger screen for those people who were saying that the document is too small. You know what, I can't hide it because I need to, if I want to share, I need to copy and paste. So let's keep going. Professional organizer services. Let's see. That sounds interesting. Professional organizer services. That sounds like something that a lot of people can do. All right. Let's go back over here and see what that's all about. I think this stuff sometimes is just fascinating. The fact that there's all these different variable items and while we're doing that, I want to see the one above it as well. Small business event Verizon partner. Let's look at this Verizon partner event. Grab that one and then we'll look at both of these. So this is professional organizer services. Let's see. It's VA hospital. So that professional organizer for chapter 31 veteran. Okay. So service disabled veterans are likely to get it. All right. So if you're a veteran service disabled veteran, you're likely to be considered for this particular opportunity. I do not know what it is. And I'm not really going to go into it just because it's, I think it'd be, I'll get better use of our time here today. Verizon partner ecosystem virtual business opportunity via hospital. All right. All right. So this is an event with Verizon taking place between January 8th, January 8th, 1.30 to 2.30 p.m. So you can get the info here. So partner ecosystem virtual business opportunity session with Verizon communications. Nothing exciting. All right. Moving on. Keep it going. Keep it going. Obstacle course. Hey, that sounds pretty cool. Look at that. An obstacle course. Contract show building construct a concrete obedience course obstacles, barrels, tunnels, stairs, and perhaps slides. That's pretty cool. I like that. I hope one of you does obstacle course. Retirement seminars. Listen, how many veterans out here retire? Look at that. Let's see. Retirement seminars, FDIC, instructional services for retirement seminar from mid career end of career. Oh, boy, this should be cool. This should be really neat. Retirement seminars and not copy it. Request for information. Retirement seminars. It's so funny because there's people here that do training services that will not make it to this point in the video. I promise, promise, promise you. There's a lot of people who do training and they won't make, sorry, so sad. Not really. A lot of people think that they watched the first two minutes and they got everything and then they miss out on this. Look at this. Wow. Mid career retirement planning seminar for employees who are within 10, 20 years of retirement, full enable employees, develop appropriate financial retirement plans, make sponsors and blah, blah, blah. I guarantee there's people out here that already have this training in place that do it. You can probably buy this training if you had to buy it. So yeah, find out, contact us and figure out how you can participate because this is something that I promise you. There's someone out here that already has this and they're ready to go and you just have to align yourself with the opportunity. So sort of announcement for repair, to the big screen for everyone out there who's having some automatic gun barrels, design bid, design bid, build, construction, make doc in Japan, architect engineering services, ultrasound testing, custom semi-trailers, audit services, modulators. And now we will not go through all 500 opportunities. I just like to look through this stuff. At least office space, warning systems, electric meters, data collection. I just like to go through and give people some ideas because when you're listening and you're taking this stuff in, you're saying to yourself, hey, what is it that I could do? And when you're looking at the actual solicitations that are out for bid, you're not finding anything that makes sense because a lot of times what happens is they'll put it here as a source of thought and then only the people who respond to the source of thought, they'll send it out to them for bidding or they may turn it into a sole source. So a lot of times if you are not doing this, you're missing out on a huge opportunity for your business, for your company and or your partner companies, teaming partners and whatnot. Paving IDIQ, pharmaceutical waste disposal. I saw that coming with all of this PPE stuff. There's got to be more ways to dispose of all of these additional masks that are being left around and also the associated debris with all of these items. Aircraft hanger door repairs, IDIQ, where's this one? 49 million dollar IDIQ, Maytok, love it, drug supplies, waste management services, long-term plans, what else? And yeah, professional consulting assistant services. Let me just pull this up. I want to just kind of see what this is about real quick. This is a little interesting. Professional consulting assistant services for DLA. I've got a performance work statement draft here. Board's track transaction management, help tickets correspond, meeting management, end user training and system testing. And also people that do stuff like that. There's some people that we that we're associated with that do that kind of business. That's something I do, peer-to-peer residential data, tree removals in South Carolina. Hello, who can't remove trees in South Carolina? It can't be that hard. All right, I've removed a lot of trees. In fact, we made a lot, we made some money growing to maintenance and landscape. Wood paint requirements, office space in Portland, Maine, work radiology workstations, RFI for small business manufacturers of medical and dental equipment. I think Maria had someone that used to make some dental equipment before. All right, manufacturer of medical dental equipment. Matter of fact, man, dude, I think you've got some people that make medical equipment. Proposed training facility. That sounds cool. I think they're going to build a training facility. Water blasting services and training, 3D glass battery replacement, 200 cadet leadership talent, Camp Pueblo, groundwater monitoring, AC unit replacement Australia. But, but this is always someone who asks me, Eric, can I do government contracts? And I'm not even here as citizen. I've got a thousand videos that talk about this. And they ask the same question every time. So again, if you look at the government's buying services in other countries, there being a lot of that is not being done by Americans, they're being done by the local workforce. We may export the managers and the people to oversee the contracts and be responsible, but the actual work performed on the ground, it's going to be local workforce. So to answer that question is a resounding yes. What else? Mail machine lease, mailing machine lease. Okay, for mail machine. I know some people that were in that space before. Dry cargo charter. Interesting enough. I know people that've done some hauling across. Rental equipment, awesome forklifts. By the way, if you see anything here, stop me. You just feel free to stop me if you see anything. All right, you can't stop me because this is recorded. Government owned contractor operate alongside aircraft refueling services. I know some people that do aircraft refueling services. Security screening. Transmission power. Okay. War related illness and injury study center, web based surveys and questionnaires, research study. I think that we have some people here that have that ability to do that. And the ones I'm highlighting, I'm going to actually put inside of the video just for ease of use for folks out there. I think the ones are exciting. There's another virtual event taking place, Snyder Electric. By the way, how many people watch got a chance to watch my micro purchase video with Judy. If you did not watch that video with Judy Bratt on micro purchases, you may want to tune in to that video. Fascinating stuff, fascinating stuff. Also, the interview we just did with Rafa. Rafa, she is on her seventh contract last year. And now she's partnering to do a menopause with a large firm that's going to help her grow her business more. So if you missed that video with Rafa, take a look at that one. Good stuff. While we're scrolling through problem statement, detainee communication services, aircraft parts, pharmaceuticals, autonomous vehicles and self driving car research study. I know there's some college kids that are probably doing a study very similar in nature of this. Where are my college kids who are doing studies on autonomous vehicles? Come on. I know there's people who already have these reports. Remember, a lot of the grant money that your college is getting comes from the federal government to help fund research. So a lot of times you probably already evaluate some drug efficacy in a rat model of neuropathic pain. All right. Where's the people who are out there testing these things? I know we've got some folks out here that do all of this stuff. Come on. I want three more good things. Hang on. Give me seven more minutes of your time. I promise you it won't kill you. Give me seven more minutes. Sources sought for copier lease maintenance services. Not exciting enough. Ceramic tile restoration services. I'm pretty sure if you can do this, ceramic tile restoration services and you respond and you're a veteran or service disabled veteran, they're likely to negotiate this with you. PPE suits. People say they're still not buying PPE. Yeah, they are every day, all day. Their government is still buying PPE. MAC contract. All right. We've got 11 MAC contracts. Oh, Japan. Oh, yeah. This is all Ocona stuff. IDIQ. Five-year contract for NAVFAC. Design build. Let me take a look at that because I work with those people. So let me, for my edification, let me take a look at that. I want to make sure I'm not missing nothing. Look, these are all things that I do as well. Japan. Okay, so no. Can't do Japan. All right. Looks like they're, but if you are in Japan, Cherry Glide Mover, they are, looks like they're all those contracts are coming up for renewal again, sort of putting them back out. So people who had them before, a Myrtle Beach Vet Center, at least 5,000 square foot of space. Okay. Yeah, they're putting those back out again. And you'll see that. And again, there is, I'll show you in another video how to read the IDIQs because the inside of the IDIQ is the actual date at which it was issued. So if it's five years, you could assume five years from now, they're going to be re-upping those IDIQs. All right. All those people who are still with me, all the people who are still with me, stick with me, software, bird waste cleaning. So mine's got to do it. Restroom Overwatch, Restroom Trailers, Homeless Veterans of Mercy Care Services. I know people that do that. I'm thinking of Stephanie. She does care services for people. And I know Lelani got into some housing things as well. So I've got some people in the group that do this robotic processing, robotic process automation monitoring. That is, oh my goodness. My man, where you at? Dr. Sonny, I'm sending this to you right now, brother. You're probably not watching this video, but I got your back. When you tell me, when you tell me what is that you do and I know you and I work with you and you're a student of mine, I keep in mind all of these things as well. So once I get to learn about you and your business, then I'm monitoring stuff for you. And then when people need me to help make connections, I make those connections. That's how Rafa started off and Ash, you'll see Ash coming up in a recent video, but yeah, we have someone that's doing RPA. And so I definitely want him to consider that. And so I'm actually happy for those people who stayed on towards the end. Let's see what else we have. Constructors on Fire Station, IDIQ. By the way, I'm going to do something. For those of you who stayed on to the end, send me an email, ericagovcongeist.com. We are working on a new workbook. And so it's a journal that goes over your activities for government contracting. If you send me an email, say, did you watch this video, you stayed to the end, I will send you a copy for free. It's a PDF document, okay? But it's really, really good. In fact, if you hang on a little bit longer, I'm going to pull it up on the screen and I'll share it with everyone. Design bill, design bill, IDIQ, data center, cleaning services, hey, cleaning services, right? Janitorial, US Coast Guard Surveyor, all right, cool. So we're going to, I'm going to go ahead and so that wraps up that particular episode. We're going to close out. Thank you for watching. And but since you stayed on here, let me see, let me pull up a copy of our action plan journal. In fact, I'm going to put it up on the screen, okay? And so this is our action plan journal that we just like we're working on. I see it's 164 pages. This is our action plan journal that we're working on. So for all of those people who actually stayed to the end of this video, send me an email and I will send you your action plan journal. So thank you for staying to the end and watching the video.
