A forecast is work that the government plans to buy. It is not open for bids yet. On the Forecasts page, Hunter checks each forecast against your business.
The page asks one question: "When will they ask for bids?" Five cards answer it:
- All: every forecast.
- Act now: opens within 45 days.
- Start capture: opens in 46 to 120 days.
- Position early: opens in 121 to 365 days.
- Watch: more than a year away, or no date yet.
