Recent awards

Awards below reflect USASpending.gov actions dated in this window — these are not awards for opportunities featured above. Award dates and solicitations follow different timelines: an award action this week typically closes a solicitation from months or years earlier.

Showing 3 USASpending.gov award actions dated 2026-08-14–2026-08-20 (tech NAICS slice used elsewhere in CaptureIQ). Not linked to opportunities in this Pulse. Local warehouse current through 2026-08-16.

Local USASpending warehouse is current through 2026-08-16 (last ingest 2026-08-22). USASpending.gov publication lag may leave action dates after 2026-08-16 missing from this Pulse window (2026-08-14–2026-08-20). Awards shown are complete only through 2026-08-16.

NAICS concentration

Highest-volume NAICS was NAICS 237990 (2 notices).

Type, set-aside, and contract vs grant mix

Contract vs grant mix is reflected in the SAM/Grants shares above (100% / 0%).

Set-aside mix

Set-aside distribution for this catalog window:

Timing signals

Median response window across 2 notices with both posted date and deadline: 4 days.

Domain and pattern signals

Amendment/modification-like notices (title/type heuristic): 0.

Recompete/follow-on-like notices (title heuristic): 0.

Domain keyword coverage was limited for this window.

CaptureIQ workload benchmarks (derived)

CaptureIQ workload benchmarks below reuse the same modeling path as the live public counters (52h professional packet baseline at $85/hr). They are platform-wide all-time figures — not period catalog counts — and must not be read as federal market dollars.

Capture interpretation

Treat this Pulse as a directional weekly signal for capture planning inside CaptureIQ’s ICP/vertical catalog — not a census of all SAM.gov or Grants.gov postings.

If volume rose week-over-week, prioritize triage capacity; if it fell, use the agency/NAICS mix to spot where remaining demand concentrated.

Methodology

Source: public SAM.gov and Grants.gov records processed by CaptureIQ. Calculations and modeled estimates are CaptureIQ analysis. Methodology & labeling Date range analyzed: 2026-08-14 through 2026-08-20 (week of 08/14–08/20). Prior comparison window: 2026-08-07 through 2026-08-13. Record count: 2 catalog notices in period (2 SAM.gov, 0 Grants.gov). Rows scanned: 1,000. Sources included: structured fields from the CaptureIQ shared catalog (company_id=1), fed by SAM.gov and Grants.gov ingest. USASpending.gov is not included in opportunity counts for this edition. Pulse Recent awards (separate section): local USASpending.gov warehouse (daily ingest of spending_by_award for the tech NAICS slice). Action dates 2026-08-14–2026-08-20. Local USASpending warehouse is current through 2026-08-16 (last ingest 2026-08-22). USASpending.gov publication lag may leave action dates after 2026-08-16 missing from this Pulse window (2026-08-14–2026-08-20). Awards shown are complete only through 2026-08-16. Exclusions: Operator/synthetic demo notices are not separately filtered here — shared catalog company scope only; USASpending.gov award rows are not included in these opportunity counts. Deduplication: One row per notice_id in the shared catalog table for company_id scope; posting date from posted_date/run_utc/created_at_utc precedence. Per-metric approach: public metrics are direct counts or structured-field tallies (agency, NAICS, type, set-aside, geography, posting month, title-keyword domains, amendment/recompete heuristics, response-window samples). Derived metrics are shares, medians, period-over-period percent change, and CaptureIQ workload benchmarks. CaptureIQ-derived metrics reuse packet_builds_52h_minus_gen_and_1h_review_at_85_usd (as_of 2026-08-22T16:06:56.998Z) — identical to live public counters; never a second parallel model. Limitations: catalog scope is ICP/vertical-filtered, not federal-universe totals; title heuristics can false-positive; response windows require both posted date and deadline; award-size bands and recompete pattern analysis belong in Brief/Benchmark — not Pulse Recent awards. This article does not reproduce raw RFP or grant solicitations, notice IDs, or full descriptions — statistical interpretation only. Every listed metric carries provenance public or derived. Unlabeled derived figures are blocked from review.
