Creating a Schedule

- Navigate to the
Schedules
section of the platform. - Click on the
+ Create Schedule
button. - In the pop-up window, define your
Query

updates. - Apply any additional filters needed to tailor your search further.

Your search criteria will be saved, and you will receive automated search results in your email inbox at the chosen interval.
Managing Schedules
Once your schedules are set, you can:
- Run Search: Instantly perform the search associated with a particular schedule.
- Edit: Update or modify the search criteria and frequency of a schedule.
- Delete: Remove a schedule that you no longer need.
Applying Filters to Schedules
You can apply a variety of filters to each schedule to narrow down your search:
- Status: Choose to view either
Active Only
orInactive Only
contracts. - Dates: Filter by
Due Date
orPosted Date
to find contracts that match your timeline. - Solicitation Number(s): Enter specific numbers to search for certain contracts.
- Buyer(s): Look for contracts by naming the government department or agency.
- Notice Type(s): Specify the notice type to streamline your search.
- NAICS Code(s), PSC Code(s), and Set Aside Code(s): Use these codes to find opportunities relevant to your industry and services. Each of these filters can be selected or deselected to refine the search results your schedule will deliver.
Removing Filters
To remove a filter from an existing schedule, simply edit the schedule and uncheck the selected filter. This adjustment will be reflected in the subsequent results you receive.
Interval and Delivery
The interval of each schedule can be easily identified in the Interval
column on your schedules list, allowing you to know exactly when to expect your next set of results. This automated service ensures that you don`t miss out on any potential opportunities and can respond to relevant contracts in a timely manner.
