Best practices for searching opportunities

• Search weekly for opportunities.
• Find a RFx by entering its EPIN or procurement name in the Keywords field.
• Find RFx that allow subcontracting by checking the "RFx allows subcontractors" box.
• Use only 2-3 filters. Applying too many search filters can narrow your results too much.
• Use commonly used solicitation terms. Search Checkbook NYC for contracts with organizations like yours and review the language used under Purpose. Incorporate those search terms when searching for RFx. Example: If your organization specializes in disaster management, consider using "hazard” as a search term.
• Determine who procures your goods/services. Search Checkbook NYC to review past contracts and discover which agencies typically procure the goods and services your organization provides. Focus your search on RFx issued by those agencies.
• Arrange the search results table to your preference. Right-click any header cell on the search results table. A grid settings menu appears. Drag and drop column titles to organize the table in your preferred order.
