Use Mega Bids to Drive Business Growth in August 2025
Lohfeld Consulting presents its monthly list of mega bids to help contractors navigate high-stakes multimillion- and multibillion-dollar contracts. In August, we divided the list into three categories to reflect months of government delays and indecision. Please note that we are keeping this blog updated with the latest government activity. Therefore, some bids that were previously inactive may have become active. Please check the status updates on each bid.
- Table 1 presents 30 bids with recent activity from the government that we estimate have a good chance of being released relatively close to their estimated due date.
- Table 2 presents 16 bids that are stalled in the government offices and have a marginal possibility of being released on their estimated due date. We will monitor these bids and only add them to Table 1 once they become active.
- Table 3 presents five bids that have been withdrawn and are undergoing reflective delay by the government.
