Federal contract opportunities in District of Columbia

343 open notices name District of Columbia as the place of performance, with 36 of them closing inside a week. Around two thirds of open notices state no place of performance at all, so this is a share of the located market rather than of all federal work. Open means still listed and still biddable: notices whose response deadline has passed are excluded, even where SAM.gov still flags them active.
