Excerpted from Doing Business with the Government Handbook by Dave Lowe

A friend of mine was asking how we can get an idea of what is coming down the pike for opportunities with the federal government, so I decided to post these for everyone.  While the best way to know what is coming is to have a relationship with contracting officers and program managers, the agencies do list forecasts and some of them can be very helpful.  We update these regularly and links do change so be sure to check back from time to time.
