QUALIFIED BID — LANDSCAPING: THREE STARTING QUESTIONS Connect: https://qualifiedbid.qualifiedcapacity.com/#connect STARTING CONTEXT Company: [COMPANY]. Services: [SERVICES]. Performance ZIPs: [ZIP LIST]. Delivery limits: [TRAVEL, CREW, EQUIPMENT, HOURS, EXPERIENCE]. Start with North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 561730 and check service descriptions/classification coverage. Use place of performance. Preserve leading zeros and do not invent a radius. Seven-year history: FY2020–FY2026 (1 Oct 2019–30 Sep 2026), with FY2025/FY2026 separately. Date current/forward reads separately; recent reporting can lag. Features depend on your Qualified Bid plan. 1. Who buys near me? Use Qualified Bid for awards and notices; consult official facility and agency forecast sources where needed, and state what is unavailable. Using Qualified Bid, identify federal landscaping customers serving [MY PERFORMANCE ZIPS] and [MY SERVICE AREA]. Match the facility name, actual address, purchased service and responsible buying office. Preserve five-character ZIPs; distinguish a facility ZIP from a government mailing or inventory ZIP. Use place of performance, not supplier location. Give agency, purchasing office, award/notice identifiers, supplier where supported, scope and official links. Compare FY2020–FY2026 through 30 Sep 2026, with FY2025 and FY2026 separately; state retrieval date and reporting delays. Show period net obligations, distinct awards and actions. Deduplicate combined-area awards and explain multi-site coverage before attributing contract value to one ZIP. Federal property assets are not separate opportunities. Confirm incumbent relationships only with evidence. End with three buyer targets, why they fit our services, what evidence to keep and our next verification action. Do not contact anyone or change our profile. KEEP AND ACT: Keep a short buyer/site/office list with identifiers and links. Verify addresses and service coverage before outreach. 2. What size work could I pursue? Use Qualified Bid for awards and notices; consult official facility and agency forecast sources where needed, and state what is unavailable. Using Qualified Bid, compare the scale of landscaping awards in [MY PERFORMANCE ZIPS] and [MY SERVICE AREA] with the national market. Show seven-year history and FY2025/FY2026 separately. For new-award comparisons, define new as first reported action in available history and reconstruct all value changes through a stated cutoff. Show award counts and shares in these full-potential bands: below $0.25M, $0.25M–below $1.00M, $1.00M–below $5.00M, and $5.00M or more. Give the median, positive-value range and count of awards with positive funding and value. Keep zero, negative and missing records/explanations separate in the audit. Distinguish period obligations, base plus exercised value, full potential including unexercised options, and documented annual prices. Show small-business shares by count without treating them as our eligibility or win odds. Identify task orders requiring a parent contract vehicle. Select funded examples with verified service descriptions and performance dates. Compare their scope with [OUR CREW, EQUIPMENT, EXPERIENCE AND DELIVERY LIMITS]. End with a realistic size range to investigate, supporting evidence and unresolved access/qualification gates. Do not invent annual prices, company qualifications or a recommendation. KEEP AND ACT: Keep the size-band table, value basis, periods and one example matching your capacity. Resolve vehicle and qualification access. 3. What may be coming next? Use Qualified Bid for awards and notices; consult official facility and agency forecast sources where needed, and state what is unavailable. Using Qualified Bid, find landscaping work that may be coming next in [MY PERFORMANCE ZIPS] and [MY SERVICE AREA]. Present three separate lists: (1) current solicitations, with latest amendment, deadline/time zone, set-aside, document read status and official notice link; (2) published agency procurement forecasts, with named project, scope, estimated value band, estimated fiscal year/date, last update, competition/set-aside status and official source; (3) historical contract leads, with buyer, service, current end, potential end and conditional options. Forecasts can change and are not open bids. A current end date does not prove a rebid. Do not treat an ambiguous forecast date as a full performance term or promised issue date. Check relevant service descriptions beyond the industry code. For each lead, say what our business should prepare, any parent-vehicle or teaming constraints, what information remains unread/unverified and the next action. Cite sources and date the read. Build a dated watch list without contacting anyone, recording a pursuit decision or changing our profile. KEEP AND ACT: Keep a watch list separating open bids, forecasts and contract leads. Date each source and schedule the next verification. CONTINUE INTO THE PURSUIT The eight detailed prompts below cover local totals, concentration, current bids, documents, qualifications, pricing/payment and your decision. QUALIFIED BID — LANDSCAPING RESEARCH Connect: https://qualifiedbid.qualifiedcapacity.com/#connect Features depend on your plan. Replace bracketed fields. STARTING CONTEXT Using Qualified Bid, help me research federal landscaping work for my business. Company: [COMPANY]. Services: [SERVICES]. Performance ZIPs we can serve: [ZIP LIST]. Delivery limits: [TRAVEL, STAFFING, HOURS, EQUIPMENT]. Start with North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 561730; explain any coverage gap or better classification. Use place of performance, not the contractor's address. Preserve leading zeros and do not assume a radius. Compare FY2020–FY2026 (1 Oct 2019–30 Sep 2026), with FY2025 and FY2026 separately. State retrieval date, cutoff and reporting delays. Keep research separate from changes to my profile. 01 How much is being bought in my service area? Using Qualified Bid, Compare each of my ZIPs and my combined service area. Show net obligations, distinct awards with activity and actions for the seven-year window and each recent fiscal year. Deduplicate combined-area awards; do not add distinct counts across ZIPs or years. Reconstruct full-award values from complete base/exercised value changes through the cutoff. Show the positive-value count, total, minimum and maximum; keep excluded zero/missing values separate in the audit. Verify the service description and performance dates before selecting examples. Explain values spanning other periods or locations. Format money as $2.10M or $2.21B; positive values below $0.01M as less than $0.01M. KEEP AND ACT: Save the local buying table and two observations. 02 Is the market broad or concentrated? Using Qualified Bid, Show the leading landscaping awards and buyers in my ZIPs for FY2025 and FY2026. Calculate the largest award's share of each positive net-obligation total and explain negative adjustments. Distinguish award concentration from recipient concentration. Do not interpret shares when the total is zero or negative; explain shares over 100%. Show whether one unusual award changes the apparent trend. No reported records in this classification is not proof of no demand. KEEP AND ACT: Identify whether scale comes from many awards or a few large ones. 03 Who buys, and which contract leads merit investigation? Using Qualified Bid, Identify buyers and contractors behind related landscaping awards in my service area. Give identifiers, recorded performance dates, current full-award value, period net obligations and latest source date. Separate potential end dates and options. Give an annual price only when explicitly documented. Distinguish a confirmed incumbent link from a possible connection. Recorded end dates are research leads, not promises of new solicitations. KEEP AND ACT: Keep a short buyer/contract lead list. 04 What can I respond to now? Using Qualified Bid, Find open landscaping solicitations for places I can serve. Show buyer, performance location, deadline and time zone, set-aside, latest amendment and SAM.gov notice link. Consolidate amendments. Separate bid responses, sources sought, closed notices and historical awards. Include mowing, grounds, tree work and seasonal services only when relevant to my stated capabilities. Use my confirmed profile for recorded Qualified Bid recommendations and explain their reasons separately from document coverage. Do not invent a score or a recommendation. KEEP AND ACT: Select one current solicitation for document review. 05 What changed in the scope and schedule? Using Qualified Bid, Read [NOTICE OR SOLICITATION] and its relevant attachments/amendments. Build a requirement-to-source table for sites, task frequencies, priced quantities, seasons, weather response, storage, waste disposal, periods, forms and submission instructions. Keep “shall,” “should” and “may” with their conditions. Identify conflicting provisions and use the latest applicable amendment. Distinguish price-schedule quantities from calendar-derived visits. Identify all relevant documents still unread and give the SAM.gov notice link. KEEP AND ACT: Build the delivery calendar; list questions requiring clarification. 06 Can we qualify, and what must the proposal prove? Using Qualified Bid, Extract eligibility, technical approach, experience and past-performance requirements from [SOLICITATION]. Give document/page or paragraph citations. Keep experience requirements separate from past-performance evaluation. Map each requirement to our actual company evidence, gaps and next action. Distinguish commercial references accepted by the source from assumptions. A team does not automatically cure a prime's set-aside or experience gap; show the applicable conditions and subcontracting limitations. KEEP AND ACT: Map each gate to evidence, an owner and a next step. 07 What must we price and finance? Using Qualified Bid, Extract price line items, units, quantities, option evaluation, wage requirements, invoice frequency, acceptance conditions and payment terms from [SOLICITATION]. Distinguish recurring services, event charges and optional periods. Build a cost worksheet using our inputs for labor, materials, equipment, mobilization, disposal, insurance, supervision and overhead; leave unknown inputs blank. Do not turn historic obligations into annual contract prices. Identify cash needed before accepted invoices are paid. Cite sources; do not invent a quote, margin or wage rate. KEEP AND ACT: Estimate delivery cost and cash exposure using your inputs. 08 What is our next pursuit decision? Using Qualified Bid, Summarize [SOLICITATION] against our confirmed eligibility, evidence, crew/equipment, schedule, cost, cash and deadline. Separate source facts, any recorded Qualified Bid recommendation, and our decision. Give pursue, investigate a compliant partner route, watch or pass options with reasons and unresolved questions. Do not record a decision or change our profile without confirmation. End with the next concrete action, owner and due date. KEEP AND ACT: Make and own a dated decision.
