State, Local, and Education Market Data Enhancements

Diversifying your offerings or target markets requires dense market research to make informed decisions. GovWin IQ makes it easy to track spending trends and forecasts, helping you make strategic go-to-market decisions and define your total addressable market at the state and local levels.

Market Forecast & Spending Simulation

Our SLED Market Size & Forecast Explorer allows you to easily analyze an industry, topics, products or services, and Smart Tags and instantly identify historical spending and projected market growth. Break down spending at the government level to see where you should focus your growth efforts. Then, easily unpack your product or service's market size and adjacent markets for diversification efforts. With easy-to-manipulate dashboards, we're making it easy for all users to access their market sizing data.

Users can further understand their market with GovWin IQ’s Spending Simulation data. This data supports customers in searching for new opportunities by showing where big buckets of spending have been allotted by product or service by simulating that spending over the past 5 years.

IT Spending Summary & Details

SLED governments spend over $100 billion dollars on IT products and services annually but tracking that spending on your own can be difficult. Each year the GovWin Research Team develops a SLED Information Technology Market Forecast report to help contractors track spending trends and project where spending is going.

GovWin IQ now makes it even easier to track and report on spending in the IT market across the SLED market with dashboards to visualize historical and forecasted spending for proactive research and planning. By leveraging the data in our annual report, users can further research their IT segment by level and function of government to support them in understanding their total addressable market for their sales strategy. Segments include:

• Communications & Network Services: Encompasses a variety of telecommunication-based functions and operations, including backbone communication services, data services, voice communication services, mobile/wireless services and satellite communications services.
• IT Hardware & Equipment: Computing Hardware & Peripherals (Laptops, Mobile Devices, Servers, Controllers, Solid State Drives, Back Up Tapes, Embedded Storage, Hard Disk Drives, Printer, etc), Communications Equipment (Wireless, radio, satellite, microwave and emergency communications, telephones, paging, antennas, fiber cabling and network equipment, etc.), Other Equipment (A-V Equipment, Medical and Non-Medical Instruments, Office and Accounting Machines, and Photocopy and Related Equipment)
• IT Services: Professional Services (IT Consulting and Design, Systems Design and Integration Services, IT Education and Training, IT Facilities Management and Other Network Related IT Services), Outsourcing (Data Processing, Hosting, and Related Services (represented now by Cloud Services and Other Data Processing and Hosting Services); Internet Publishing and Hosting)
• Software Products: Prepackaged Software (Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) end-user software for installation on end-user computing hardware, Embedded or Bundled Software (This niche category was previously discontinued since the embedded software market is not addressable to SLED vendors and the SLED bundled software market is served primarily through the retail channel)

This data has been loaded into GovWin IQ in two new tabs on the SLED IT Forecast Database: IT Spending Summary and IT Spending Details dashboard. The Summary Tab breaks down the historical and forecasted spending summary by government type and IT segment. This is particularly helpful for funneling down to the market segment and target audience. The Details Tab houses the same data, but it's granularly broken down by State > Govt Type > Govt Name > IT Segment > YEAR 2019-2027.

This helps users tailor the data in the report for their business with just a few clicks, easily create visualizations for presentations and education, and easily export details to further manipulate data outside of the platform.

Grow your business and plan for grant pursuit by following the historical funding and forecast spend across SLED governments easily by grant type, status, Smart Tag, government agency, and more! GovWin IQ makes it possible to visualize the grant revenue we have available for historical and forward-looking grant spending with many ways to manipulate the data for a user's needs by grant type, status, Smart Tag, government agency and more.

Visualizing trends, educating leadership and answering market questions that would otherwise be nearly impossible to gather and analyze will make projecting and targeting future spending easy.

Data Analysis: Government Data Matrix

Successful contractors know their buyers better than they know themselves. With SLED governments constantly fluctuating, understanding correlations between funding and resources make it easier to tailor your solution effectively.

GovWin IQ is helping make that possible for SLED contractors with our Government Data Matrix. Correlations can support strategic planning decisions internally and position contractors effectively to their buyers. With an easy-to-manipulate dashboard, users can compare top government variables to identify correlations for opportunities, contracts, revenues, expenditures, grants, population, employment, and enrollment. Then make data-backed decisions based on a set of assumptions. For example, increasing population and decreasing revenue often mean agencies are asked to do more with fewer resources.

Smart Summaries Expansion

What previously required hours of manual research and tedious data collection is now effortlessly delivered in real-time with the click of a button in the form of clear, concise executive briefings.

GovWin Smart Summaries leverage generative AI technology to create a natural language synopsis of key data sets that feed into government agency profiles; analyst-tracked opportunities; federal Contract Awards and Task Order Awards; and now including SLED Bid Notifications and Lead Alerts.
