How to get ready
- Watch for sources sought notices from these agencies. Answering one is often how a small business gets a recompete set aside.
- Look up the past awards on USAspending.gov to see what the work cost. Our USAspending guide shows how.
- Make sure you count as small under 561320 with the size standard checker, and see whether it's the right code for a staffing agency.
Frequently asked questions
What is a recompete?
When a federal contract's period of performance ends, the agency usually buys the same work again, often through a new solicitation. That new competition is a recompete. Agencies often post sources sought notices or draft solicitations months before the current contract ends.
How early should I prepare for a recompete?
Six to twelve months ahead is common. Learn what the agency buys, watch SAM.gov for sources sought notices and industry days, and introduce your business to the contracting office and its small business specialist before the solicitation is out.
Where does this data come from?
USAspending.gov's award data: definitive contracts and purchase orders under NAICS 561320 worth at least $250,000, with activity in the last 18 months and a current end date by Dec 31, 2026. End dates can move when options are exercised or contracts are extended.
