14 Aug 2026 Updated: Inquiries Regarding CNECTS 1-on-1 Meeting Schedule Clarification: Our #1 priority this week has been to capture and finalize the schedule for the initial block of 1-on-1 meetings taking place on August 20th and 21st.
To provide an update on our overall scheduling status: The first 22 eligible small business companies have now been officially scheduled for August 20th and 21st.
Calendar invitations with specific times and MS Teams links were sent directly to the designated Point of Contact (POC) today.
If your company's request was submitted prior to the official deadline of August 5, 2026, at 9:30 AM MDT, but you were not in the first group of 22, your request is still valid.

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
