Open RFPs in Indiana (57 live)
57 open federal opportunities name Indiana as the place of performance, plus 7,081 nationwide opportunities open to Indiana businesses. Counted live from SAM.gov, updated July 28, 2026.
Indiana's federal standout is one the casual observer never sees: Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane, the third-largest naval installation in the world by area, sitting in the forests of southern Indiana. Crane is a major buyer of electronics, sensors, energetics, and engineering services, and its surrounding contractor ecosystem makes south-central Indiana an unexpectedly strong defense-technology market. Camp Atterbury and the Muscatatuck training complex add exercise and range support work, Grissom Air Reserve Base sustains tanker operations, and the VA's hospitals in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, plus a steady Corps of Engineers Louisville District workload, fill out the baseline.
The State of Indiana posts its own solicitations through the Department of Administration's procurement division and supplier portal, a registration that is entirely separate from SAM.gov. The federal side, everything from Crane's electronics buys to VA facilities work, posts to SAM.gov, which RFPhound scans daily to generate the live counts below. Indiana manufacturers should pay particular attention to the nationwide pool: the state's industrial base wins DLA and Navy production work whose place of performance is often listed as nationwide rather than Indiana.

Indiana questions
Asked by Indiana vendors.
How many RFPs are open in Indiana right now?
As of July 28, 2026, RFPhound counts 57 open federal contract opportunities naming Indiana as the place of performance, plus 7,081 nationwide opportunities with no single state named that Indiana businesses can compete for. These counts regenerate every morning from SAM.gov.
What is NSWC Crane and why does it matter?
Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane in southern Indiana is one of the Navy's principal centers for electronics, electronic warfare, sensors, and energetics. It buys engineering services and specialized hardware steadily and anchors a regional defense-technology ecosystem.
Where does the State of Indiana post its RFPs?
Through the Indiana Department of Administration's procurement division and its online supplier portal. That state pipeline is separate from SAM.gov, the federal source behind this page's counts and listings.
I run an Indiana manufacturing shop. Where is my federal demand?
Watch the Manufacturing category both for Indiana and nationwide. DLA and the military services buy parts and production runs continuously, and the place of performance is often the vendor's own plant, meaning an Indiana shop can win work labeled nationwide.
