New feature. Big advantage.

One of the hardest parts of government contracting is not finding opportunities.

It is knowing which ones deserve your attention first.

That is why I am excited about FedBiz365’s new Match Scoring feature.

It helps contractors rank Federal and State & Local opportunities based on how closely they align with their company profile, so teams can prioritize faster and work a more disciplined pipeline.

The score is not a win prediction.
It is not an award forecast.
It is a smarter way to compare opportunities by fit and decide where to spend your time.

That matters.

Because in this market, better prioritization leads to better decisions, better focus, and better use of business development resources.

And when you want to go deeper, the Opportunity Assistant within each opportunity helps you assess the rationale behind the score and evaluate whether it is truly worth pursuing.

This video gives a quick look at how the new Match Scoring feature works inside FedBiz365.

If your team is trying to qualify opportunities faster and build a sharper pipeline, this is worth watching.

What usually makes an opportunity rise to the top for your team?

A $350,000 contract may not sound like a “small” opportunity to a small business.

And that is exactly the point.

With the Simplified Acquisition Threshold now at $350K, more federal purchases can fall into a faster, lower-friction buying lane.

But the real opportunity is not just the higher number.

It is what happens inside that range:

✅ Shorter buying cycles
✅ More streamlined RFQs
✅ More small business set-aside potential
✅ More realistic early wins
✅ More chances to build past performance before chasing larger contracts

For small contractors, this is one of the most practical areas to study in 2026.

Not because simplified acquisitions are “easy.”

They are not.

But because they reward businesses that are already positioned, already visible, and already prepared when the buyer starts looking.

That means tightening your SAM and SBA profiles, tracking prior awards, watching sources sought notices, understanding agency buying patterns, and responding before the opportunity becomes a public scramble.

We broke down why the $350K range matters, how agencies may use it, and what small businesses should do now to compete more intelligently.

The Simplified Acquisition Threshold is now $350K. Here’s how small businesses can find, position for, and win realistic federal contract opportunities.

Teaming can open doors for small business contractors.

It can help you pursue larger opportunities, strengthen your proposal, build past performance, and get in front of agencies you may not be ready to approach alone.

But teaming the wrong way can create real risk.

Especially when the relationship starts to look like the “small business prime” is only small on paper.

That’s where affiliation risk comes in.

If SBA determines your company is too dependent on a prime, subcontractor, mentor, or related business, it may combine the size of both companies for that opportunity. For a small business set-aside, that can put your eligibility at risk.

A few things every small business contractor should understand before signing a teaming agreement:

✅ Who is performing the primary and vital work?
✅ Who controls the customer relationship?
✅ Who provides the key personnel?
✅ Is the workshare actually compliant and realistic?
✅ Are you building capacity or creating dependency?
✅ Would a formal SBA Mentor-Protégé structure make more sense?

Teaming is not the problem.

Poorly structured teaming is.

The right partner can help you grow faster. The wrong structure can cost you an award before you ever get started.

We broke down what small businesses need to know about teaming with primes, avoiding affiliation risk, understanding the ostensible subcontractor rule, and structuring partnerships the right way.

Fixed-price contracting is becoming the federal government’s default setting.

For small business contractors, that is not just a policy update.

It changes how opportunities may be scoped, priced, evaluated, and performed.

Agencies are now being pushed to justify cost-reimbursement, T&M, and labor-hour contracts. They are also reviewing major non-fixed-price contracts to determine whether they can be converted or restructured.

That means contractors should expect:

Tighter scopes
More pricing scrutiny
Greater performance accountability
More risk shifted to the contractor
A stronger need for go/no-go discipline

The opportunity?

Prepared small businesses can compete well in this environment.

Lean teams, specialized capabilities, strong past performance, and smart pricing can all become advantages when agencies are looking for defined outcomes at predictable costs.

The risk?

Bidding fixed-price work without clear requirements can turn a “win” into a costly problem.

Our latest blog breaks down what the fixed-price contracting push means right now, what small businesses should watch for, and how to position your company before these changes show up in more solicitations.

$350,000 may be the new sweet spot for small business contractors.

The Simplified Acquisition Threshold has increased, and that means more federal buys can move through a faster, lower-friction process.

For small businesses, that matters.

Not every contractor is ready to chase the massive recompete or agency-wide vehicle. Sometimes the smarter play is the smaller, cleaner opportunity that helps you build past performance, buyer trust, and momentum.

In the latest episode of FedBiz’5, we break down why simplified acquisitions deserve more attention in 2026 and how small businesses can use this lane strategically.

You’ll hear why “smaller” does not always mean “easy,” what contractors should prepare before opportunities drop, and how these wins can become building blocks for larger federal contracts.

Defense contractors need to pay attention to June 30, 2026.

That is when several NDAA-driven acquisition threshold changes begin reshaping how certain DoD contracts are priced, negotiated, and protested.

For small businesses, this is not just “compliance news.”

It could affect:

→ Whether certified cost or pricing data is required
→ When CAS coverage becomes a concern
→ How primes structure subcontracting packages
→ How incumbents think about GAO protest risk
→ Which defense opportunities are now more realistic to pursue

The big changes:

TINA threshold: $2.5M → $10M
CAS full coverage threshold: $50M → $100M
CAS contract-level applicability threshold: $2.5M → $35M

And still in the pipeline: the Section 875 “loser pays” protest rule, which could allow contracting officers to withhold up to 5% of payments from certain incumbent contractors who file GAO protests that are later found to lack a reasonable legal or factual basis.

That last part matters.

Because losing a protest is not the same thing as filing a baseless protest.

For small businesses doing defense work, these changes may create room to pursue larger opportunities with less immediate compliance burden.

But they also create new gotchas around clause language, subcontract flow-downs, pricing support, CAS edge cases, and protest strategy.

We broke it down in plain English in our latest blog:

What changed.
Why it matters.
Where the opportunity is.
And what small businesses should watch before chasing the next DoD contract.

NDAA 2026 defense contracting changes raise TINA and CAS thresholds after June 30, with new protest risk rules that could impact small businesses.
