Federal acquisition signals are pointing toward a more favorable opportunity landscape in 2026, especially for small businesses that position early. As agencies finalize FY26 acquisition plans, several high-revenue contract vehicles are moving into recompete, expansion, or on-ramp phases. The firms that align capture strategy and pre-proposal preparation now will be far better positioned to compete effectively once solicitations are released.
This webinar, Top Federal Opps of 2026: What Small Businesses Should Watch Now, provides a practical capture briefing focused on how federal buying patterns are shifting and what that means for small business growth planning. Rather than walking through a long list of individual solicitations, the session focuses on the strategic signals that matter most: where spending is moving, how agencies are consolidating buying power, and which eligibility and readiness requirements are becoming critical first-gate hurdles.
What This Session Covers
In the recording, OST Global Solutions breaks down the opportunity categories most likely to shape federal revenue growth in FY26 and explains why certain vehicles are attracting increased agency attention. The discussion explores how contract vehicles are being used to streamline procurement, what that means for small business access, and how to evaluate whether a vehicle is worth pursuing well before an RFP is released.
Viewers will also learn what early capture moves should be happening now, including teaming decisions, compliance and documentation readiness, and internal resourcing considerations. The emphasis throughout is on helping firms avoid late-stage scrambling and focus their time and budget on opportunities that realistically align with their capabilities and long-term goals.
Who Should Watch
This session is especially valuable for small businesses that are building a FY26 pipeline, preparing for on-ramps or major IDIQ access decisions, or aiming to win as a prime or secure meaningful subcontract roles. It is also relevant for teams responsible for schedule readiness, compliance positioning, and proposal infrastructure who need early clarity to support growth objectives.
