About this brief
This brief is a structured factual summary of the prior 7 days of SAM.gov bulk-ingest opportunities. Every number above traces back to either the aggregate buckets in the context.json the aggregator wrote, or a specific notice_id cited inline. The aggregator computes five deterministic anomaly categories (volume spikes, new buyers, large-dollar opportunities, tight-response solicitations, IDIQ task-order concentration). Editorial themes -- the "what this means for vendors" overlay a Cowork-driven Monday session adds on top -- are NOT included in templated briefs. A future Cowork session for the same ISO week may overwrite this brief with analyst prose; the structured signals stay intact across updates.
Structured signals
The themes above are backed by the following structured signals.
