Recompetes
Most contracts are not new. They are the same work, awarded again on a cycle. The recompete view surfaces the ones heading back to market so you can build a relationship with the buyer months before the notice appears, which is the only time that relationship is worth anything.
Who won
Award history tells you who holds the work now, what it went for, and how often it turns over. Read the incumbent before you write a word of your bid: it is the difference between guessing at a price and knowing the last one.
