Worth a look
1,847 solicitations were active in NAICS 541511 and 541519 this morning. Five are worth Northwind's time, and that is the honest number for a week.
Senior C++ programmer to modify the COMPASS model
Why it fits you: A single senior C++ contract to modify NOAA's COMPASS model. One named position, one deliverable, a civilian buyer, and thirteen days to respond — this is the size of award a five-person shop wins outright rather than sub-contracts.

DA01--Software maintenance and support services for existing MyPath tools in support of VA Puget Sound Healthcare System, Seattle, WA
Why it fits you: VA is buying maintenance and support for MyPath, software that already exists and already has users. Sustainment work on a live civilian health system is the closest match on the board to your record, and incumbent-shaped work like this is usually decided on price and staffing, not on a technical vision.

Knowledge Management System and Services (KMSS)
Why it fits you: HUD's IT operations office is asking the market how to buy a knowledge management system. It is a sources sought, so the cost of playing is a capability statement, not a proposal, and answering it is how you get named in the eventual RFP's market research.

7A--Cloud-based adult education SaaS platform.
Why it fits you: Interior's Indian Education office wants a cloud-based adult education platform. Twenty-seven days is the longest runway on this list, and a SaaS-shaped requirement at a small civilian office rarely draws the big integrators.

Request for Solutions (RFS): Autonomous Coding (AC) and Automated Appeals & Denials Management (ADM)
Why it fits you: The Defense Health Agency is running a Request for Solutions for autonomous medical coding and automated appeals. It is DoD, which your history is not, but the subject is civilian health data processing and the RFS route is a short white paper. We would call this a stretch worth twelve days of attention, not a bid you build a team for.

Screened out
Four of these would match a keyword alert on those codes. Here is why we left them out.
D--WebKnossos Enterprise Software License
Why we would pass: Interior, 541519, thirteen days out — a keyword alert on your codes puts this near the top. It is an enterprise licence for WebKnossos, a specific commercial product. Unless you resell it, the winner is already decided.

T-38 Virtual Reality Part Task Trainer (VRPTT) Maintenance
Why we would pass: 541511 at an Air Force contracting squadron, so it matches your code exactly. The work is maintaining a virtual reality part-task trainer for the T-38 — aircrew training hardware with an installed base. Nobody wins that from outside.

Requirement for Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS)
Why we would pass: National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, 541511, nineteen days. TERPS work is cleared aeronautical procedure production; without cleared staff and a facility clearance the response cannot be compliant, and getting one takes longer than the deadline.

Water Management Programming
Why we would pass: USACE Portland District, 541511, fourteen days. "Water Management Programming" is hydrology modelling for dam operations, not software engineering. The code is right and the domain is wrong.
