All Opportunities

The All Opportunities page displays a list of the opportunities that you can view and for which you can register to receive notifications.

Two types of opportunities display on this page:

Directed opportunities that were issued by an agency and directed to a specific group of vendors that includes your company
Public opportunities, which can be viewed by all FedConnect users

Important

You will receive notifications only for opportunities from agencies that you specify in your user profile. You will not receive any public opportunities notifications until you configure your notification settings. You can, however, still view and respond to public and directed opportunities sent to your company, regardless of the agencies you select on the Notifications page. For more information, jump to Managing Your List of Agency Notifications.

Navigation

The following picture illustrates how the Opportunities page might look. Your results might vary. The list of opportunities has been filtered to display only the opportunities related to the search keyword "computers."

Sorting the List of Opportunities

There might be dozens or even hundreds of opportunities listed on the All Opportunities page, so the system enables you to sort your opportunities based on any of the columns that display on the All Opportunities page (see above). To sort your list of opportunities based on the criterion of a specific column, click the column heading. Click once to sort the list of opportunities by that criteria, in ascending (A-Z) order; click twice to sort the list of opportunities by that criteria, in descending (Z-A) order.

Note

The default sorting method is by issue date.

This is a picture of the Examples icon which looks like a Forward VCR button.

Examples

If you want to sort your list of opportunities based on issuing agency, beginning with Agency A and ending with Agency Z, click the Agency column heading once.

If you want to sort your list of opportunities based on the date responses are due, beginning with those that are due at the latest date, click the Response Due Date column heading twice.
