Overview
Discover is where your team finds new opportunities to pursue. It brings public sources such as SAM.gov, PIEE and state, local and education (SLED) sites together with private sources such as GSA eBuy, then ranks the results by how well they fit your past performance.
To open Discover, select Discover under Modules in the left side panel. It opens to the Watchlist tab, where you keep the opportunities you want to track. Select Search to browse Public, Private or Forecast opportunities. To learn your way around, see Finding Opportunities using Discover.
Use this page as your starting point. Take the tour, then jump to the article for the task you need.
