What Good match, They bid against you, and Jobs coming up again mean

Each company in Partners carries one of three labels, Good match, They bid against you, or Jobs coming up again, and this article explains each one.

The Partners page gives each company one label. The label tells you how to think about the company.

The three labels

Good match. The company wins work like yours. It is a company you can approach to team up.
They bid against you. The biggest job of the company is small, and your own job size is not on file. A company of this size is more likely to compete with you than to hire you. Treat it as a competitor.
Jobs coming up again. The company has work that comes up for bid again within a year, and fewer than three subcontractors on record. There is no room to join now. But the date is one to prepare for. A job that comes up for bid again is a recompete.

On a card, a label shows only when it is not Good match. A card without a label is a Good match.
In the company panel, the label always shows under the name. See Read a company's award history and fit reasons.

Start with the cards that have no label.
For They bid against you, read the reasons first. A competitor can still be a useful source of market facts.
For Jobs coming up again, open the What they win section. It shows when the next job ends.
For awards that come up again, read Use past awards to prepare for possible repeat work.

A label is a lead for your research. It does not say that a company will work with you.
The label can change when your facts or the award data change.
