Deltek Releases Top Government Opportunity Reports for FY2013

New reports provide in-depth information on Top Federal Opportunities, Top Civilian Opportunities, and Top Small-Business Set-Aside Opportunities for FY2013

HERNDON, Va. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — December 18, 2012 — Deltek, Inc., the leading global provider of enterprise software and information solutions for professional services firms and government contractors, has released its annual set of Top Federal Opportunity reports for FY2013, designed to help government contractors find – and win – more government business.

At the beginning of each federal fiscal year Deltek identifies and assesses the top 20 federal contract opportunities for the coming year. This year, Deltek has delivered three unique reports that will help government contractors assess the market opportunity for FY2013 and plan their business development strategies. These reports reflect ongoing changes in government spending dynamics and identify areas where spending will increase, making them mandatory reading for government contractors.

“The top opportunities featured in our reports represent only a fraction of the total contracts awarded in any given year,” said Kevin Plexico, Vice President, Federal Information Solutions with Deltek. “Due to their size and scale, our reports provide valuable insight on the overall trends and direction of government procurement.”
