Reading what government intends to buy
Federal agencies signal what they're about to buy months before an award happens — in draft solicitations, sources-sought notices, industry day announcements. Most of that signal is buried in a system built for compliance, not for finding things. The Demand Signal reads it daily, scores it for relevance, and puts the AI and autonomy procurements that matter in front of you before your competitors' capture teams do.

The Department of Energy's request for information on basic research challenges to accelerate U.S. biotechnology leadership closes in three days, aiming to define gaps needed for predictive biosystems design. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Protein ENGineering solicitation and the Office of the Secretary of Defense's monolithic graphene-CMOS focal plane array and expeditionary solar refinery projects all close within a week, creating immediate proposal pressure. Seven additional open requirements are due in the next thirty days, spanning space environment studies to advanced materials development. The most active buyers this week are the Department of Defense with seven open solicitations, followed by the Department of War with two and the Department of Energy with one.
