Open RFPs in Colorado (29 live)
29 open federal opportunities name Colorado as the place of performance, plus 3,465 nationwide opportunities open to Colorado businesses. Counted live from SAM.gov, updated June 10, 2026.
Colorado's Front Range is one of the country's space and defense corridors. Colorado Springs hosts Peterson and Schriever Space Force Bases, Cheyenne Mountain, and Fort Carson, which together buy satellite operations support, IT, engineering, construction, and base services. Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora adds more, and Denver's Federal Center in Lakewood houses dozens of civilian agencies. The science layer is unusually strong: NIST and NOAA in Boulder and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden procure lab equipment, research support, and specialized engineering. Federal land agencies round it out with forest, fire, and park work across the Rockies.
The State of Colorado posts its own solicitations through Colorado VSS, the Vendor Self Service system tied to the state's financial system, and that registration has nothing to do with SAM.gov. Federal opportunities for Colorado live on SAM.gov, which is what RFPhound scans every morning to build the counts on this page. Note the nationwide pool too: a large share of federal notices name no single state, and Colorado firms, especially in IT and professional services, win plenty of that work without ever leaving the state.

Colorado questions
Asked by Colorado vendors.
How many RFPs are open in Colorado right now?
As of June 10, 2026, RFPhound counts 29 open federal contract opportunities naming Colorado as the place of performance, plus 3,465 nationwide opportunities with no single state named that Colorado businesses can compete for. These counts regenerate every morning from SAM.gov.
What drives federal buying in Colorado?
Space and defense around Colorado Springs (Peterson, Schriever, Cheyenne Mountain, Fort Carson), Buckley Space Force Base, the Denver Federal Center's civilian agencies, and the research institutions: NIST and NOAA in Boulder and NREL in Golden. Wildfire and public-lands work adds seasonal construction and services demand.
Where does the State of Colorado post its RFPs?
Through Colorado VSS (Vendor Self Service), the state's vendor portal. It is separate from SAM.gov. The City and County of Denver and other large local governments operate their own systems, and many Colorado local agencies use the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System.
Is Colorado a good market for space and IT contractors?
Yes. The concentration of Space Force installations makes Colorado Springs a national center for satellite operations, ground systems, and related IT contracting. Much of that work is also competed through nationwide vehicles, so watch both Colorado-specific and nationwide listings.
