Planned oil and gas field machinery and equipment manufacturing contracts from agencies' published procurement forecasts. They come out months before a solicitation is posted on SAM.gov, so there's time to introduce your business and ask how the agency plans to buy the work.
“Award expected within 6 months” counts planned buys whose expected award date falls in the next six months. A buy listed only by quarter or fiscal year is dated to the end of that period, so it counts only if the period ends within six months. Where an agency gives a planned work start, we use that date instead. “Current contract ends within 6 months” counts planned buys whose existing contract, the one being replaced, ends in the next six months, so the follow-on is usually awarded around then. The Department of Energy's forecast gives only that date, with no award date.
These are the forecasts of 11 agencies. Not included: Health and Human Services (NIH, FDA, CDC, ASPR and BARDA) and Defense (Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps), and other agencies that publish their forecasts elsewhere. Which agencies are covered.

Federal fiscal years start October 1, so a fiscal year's Q1 is October to December of the calendar year before: FY2027 Q1 is October to December 2026, and Q2 is January to March 2027.
Place of performance is as each agency lists it. Some list the office that will manage the work instead.
A procurement (or acquisition) forecast is an agency's list of contracts it plans to buy in the coming months, published before the solicitation is posted on SAM.gov. Agencies publish them so small businesses can prepare. Each entry usually gives the work, the NAICS code, an estimated value range, the expected solicitation or award quarter and whether it may be set aside.
Pick the planned buys in your NAICS codes, then introduce your business to the agency's small business specialist or program office with a short email and your capability statement. Ask how they plan to buy it: set-aside, contract vehicle and timing. Then watch SAM.gov for a sources sought notice or draft solicitation, which often comes first. Contacting the agency early, while the requirement is still being planned, is when you can still influence a set-aside decision.
They are estimates. Dates shown as a quarter or fiscal year are the agency's own (the federal fiscal year starts October 1, so Q1 FY2027 is October to December 2026). Values are ranges. Buys slip, change set-aside or are dropped, and some are never posted. Treat a forecast as an early signal, not a promise.
From the agencies' own public forecast sites: GSA's Acquisition Gateway forecast tool (which carries the forecasts of many departments), the Department of Homeland Security's Acquisition Planning Forecast System, and the Department of Energy and NASA acquisition forecasts. FedReady checks them every day. Agencies that aren't listed, such as the Department of Defense and the Department of Health and Human Services (NIH, FDA, CDC), publish their forecasts elsewhere; Acquisition.gov links to each one.
