Use Mystic Bids to Forecast Business Growth Now


Lohfeld Consulting’s quarterly list of Mystic (Forecast) Bids is a forward-looking view of significant opportunities that the federal government is likely to release in the next two years. Mystic Bids complements our two ongoing series—Mega Bids, which tracks active opportunities valued at more than $500M, and Mighty Bids, which spotlights active opportunities ranging from $10M to $499M. We define “active bids” as those where the government has already conducted market research, hosted an industry day, or otherwise engaged with potential offerors.

Each month, Lohfeld Consulting publishes a Mega Bids blog featuring bids exceeding $500M, and its companion blogs, Mighty Bids, which focuses on bids ranging from $10M-$499M, and Mystic Bids, which highlights bids forecast for the next two years. The Mega and Mighty Bids blogs only feature bids that have demonstrated government activity, such as the release of a request for information (RFI), a sources sought notice (SSN), an industry day notice, or other pre-RFP documents. Every month, we remove bids that are inactive, imminent, or stalled.

We were surprised by the variety of work and the range of agencies releasing bids from $10M to $99M, so we caution bidders not to overlook this value range.
