When entering a multiple keyword search, example: server virtualization software, these keywords will be processed with an OR clause.
This translate to: INCLUDES ( "server" OR "virtualization" OR "software" )
To search for specific phrases, surround the keywords with double-qoutes, example: "server virtualization software"
This translate to: INCLUDES ( "server virtualization software" )
To exclude a keyword, prefix the keyword with a hyphen, example: -server -virtualization -software
This translate to: EXCLUDES ( "server" AND "virtualization" AND "software" )
By combining all the above features you'll be able to search for keywords, pharases, and exclusions in any desired order.
The following examples are valid keyword searches:
Open - the Opportunity is still active and has not reached its due date.
Closed - the Opportunity has passed its due date and is no longer active. Navigator has over 10 years of Closed Opportunities.
Awarded - the Opportunity was awarded to a vendor(s) and the Jurisdiction provided the details of the Award. Navigator has over 10 years of Awarded data.
Open - the Grant is still active and has not reached its due date.
Closed - the Grant has passed its due date and is no longer active.
Developing Opportunity - Opportunities that fall under this are budgeted and have a timeline but have not yet been put out for a formal bid process, which gives vendors the chance to get involved early and possibly help shape the formal bid. Navigator's analyst team combs through government documents, such as budgets and strategic plans, to provide this valuable information to Professional, Plus or Premium subscribers.
RFP - Opportunities that fall under this are RFP (request for proposals), ITB (invitation to bid), IFB (invitation for bids), RFQ (request for quote), or RFQQ (request for qualifications & quotes). These types have a publish and due date and the jurisdiction is asking for pricing on a type of IT service or product.
Pre-RFP - Opportunities that fall under this are Pre-RFP (pre-request for proposals), RFI (request for information), or RFQ (request for qualifications). These types have a publish and due date and center around "information" versus pricing as the jurisdiction would either be providing information or asking for it in some form.
Sole Source - Opportunities that fall under this were published with an intent to award the contract to a specific vendor. The agency believes a specific supplier, for reasons of expertise, and/or standardization, quality, compatibility with existing equipment, specifications, or availability, is the only source that is acceptable to meet a specific need. Each jurisdiction has rules regarding Sole Sources and usually provide an opportunity for other vendors to object and show that they also can provide what is needed.
