1 Federal Market Research: A hands-on Manual Anna Urman Director, Virginia PTAP aurman@gmu.edu
2 Overview: Why Research? Buyer insight What do they buy? How much are they spending? Who are their vendors? Competitive analysis What vendors are selling to which agencies? Who s the 600lb gorilla? Any surprises? Partner / prime / subcontractor identification Follow known competitors to ID additional targets Preparation before a meeting know where they are strong, how you can help 52
3 What are we looking for? Customers (Government) Location Department / Agency Contact Names Small Business Use NAICS Codes PSC Codes $ Spent Competition Types Vendors / Contractors Contract Numbers Competitors / Teammates Their customers Breadth & depth Location(s) DUNS # Revenue Size / set-asides 53
4 Why? Determining addressable market Determine fit (do they buy what we sell?) Size up against potential competitors Evaluate strength of partners Ballpark guidance on prices FIND WORK 54
5 Research Tools 55
6 Look in the Mirror Find and optimize your profile Accurate, updated Small Business Profile at the very end of sam.gov feeds dsbs.sba.gov search engine optimization for your listing Use the same tools to identify teammates, competitors What NAICS are they using? Any good keywords? Who are they citing as references? 56
7 1. Back-casting What has been bought in the past (by whom, where, from whom) indicative of what s to come Tools: USA Spending Federal Procurement Data Service GSA Schedules Sales Query Labor Rate Calculator Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Purpose: predict what government agencies buy what codes they use what vendors are doing work how much $ is being spent on what programs 57
8 2. Forecasting Live opportunities upcoming RFPs and bids Tools: Federal Business Opportunities Agency-specific procurement sites Army: Navy: Air Force: Reverse Auctions FedBid FedConnect GSA Reverse Auctions 58

14 Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) 64
15 Most comprehensive data set 1. E-Z Search 1. No password required 2. Quick way to get detailed information for specific queries 3. drill-down can be a challenge 2. Standard Reports 1. Password 2. Extensive set of popular reports Who, What, When, How 3. Ad-Hoc Reports 1. Password 2. Complicated but user controls great extent of detail 65
16 FPDS Reports (Login required) 66

18 Data Analysis You ve got a big spreadsheet. Now what? 68
19 A. Clean Up Step 1: Run all similar searches Example: landscaping, lawn mowing, grass cutting Step 2: Combine into single spreadsheet Step 3: Remove Duplicates Because there may be multiple transactions with a single vendor and even a contract number, usually the only duplicate is a double entry that is caused by combining several similar searches. Note, you want to do this BEFORE analyzing data, else you will be re-reading the same thing 69
20 B. Refine Description of Requirement Delete irrelevant data. Mercilessly. Use Excel tools to find / filter / sort Hint: If you re wary of deleting too much, keep all original data in a separate worksheet Note other potentially useful keywords Look to PSC and NAICS codes for clarification / guidance If something could possibly fit, but NAICS is completely off, that s a clue. 70
21 C. Analyze Pivot tables will help you visualize data, draw conclusions, ask good questions Exercise 1: Create a pivot table that shows spending by department, per year 71
22 C. Analyze additional suggestions Useful pivot table examples 1. Spending by vendor by department (by year) A. Note: when sorting by vendor, beware of double-counting; may have to clean up vendor column in dataset B. HINT: Don t forget to refresh the table after altering source worksheet data 2. Spending by extent competed by department 3. Spending by set-aside type by department 72
23 FBO ( FedBizOpps ) what is it good for? 73
