Find Best-Fit Federal Contracts Faster with Opportunity Fit Score

Government contracting moves fast, and chasing the wrong opportunities is one of the most expensive mistakes a business development team can make. Hours spent reading solicitations that were never going to be a fit, pipeline reviews crowded with bids that don't match your capabilities is now a thing of the past. Your win rates will no longer suffer because your team is spread too thin searching across hundreds of opportunities that were never worth pursuing in the first place.

Opportunity Fit Score changes that: Now live in Bid Search, automatically scoring federal contracting opportunities against your business every 24 hours so you can stop guessing and start pursuing the bids most likely to win.

Smarter Pursuit Decisions, Powered by Your Data

Opportunity Fit Score uses what Procurement Sciences already knows about your company including your Company Profile and Past Performance to evaluate every new federal opportunity that hits your Default Saved Search. Each opportunity gets a score out of 100 based on five criteria that actually matter to government contractors:

• Technical Capability: How your capabilities, core competencies, and NAICS codes line up with what the agency needs
• Customer Relationship: Your history with the issuing agency
• Meet Certification Requirements: Whether your certifications and clearances match the notice
• Past Performance: How your prior work compares to the scope of the opportunity
• Strategic Alignment: How well the opportunity fits your company's focus areas

The result is a clear, ranked view of opportunities so your team can prioritize at a glance:

• 80–100 (High Fit): Strong alignment. Prioritize these.
• 40–79 (Mid Fit): Partial alignment. Worth a closer look at the rationales.
• 1–39 (Low Fit): Limited alignment. Usually safe to skip.

Why This Matters for Government Contractors

Most BD teams already know which agencies they want to work with and what kinds of contracts fit their business. The problem isn't strategy, it's volume. Hundreds of new federal solicitations are posted every day, and manually triaging them eats into the time your capture team should be spending on actual proposals.

Opportunity Fit Score handles that triage for you. Instead of reading every notice to decide whether it's worth a deeper look, you get a prioritized list with the reasoning already attached. Hover over any opportunity and you'll see exactly why it scored the way it did per-criterion rationales and the requirement checklist pulled straight from the notice. No black box, no second-guessing.
