Your market: NAICS 711510 — Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers
One industry code, the whole picture. What's open in it right now and how much of that you've got a real shot at. What's about to come loose. How much of its federal money you could actually reach, how much is locked behind agreements you're not on, and when those reopen. When this market buys. And the other codes firms like yours also win in.
How to use it. Start with the code on your registration. Then try the neighbours at the bottom. Most people find work here under a number they'd never have searched.
This code, right now
Counted off today's board the same way the front page counts it. Which notice is which, and how many bidders each will pull, is on the board itself.
A real shot is open to an outside bidder with better than even odds of drawing two bidders or fewer. The promised ones are the rows you would have spent time bidding and were never going to get. See the board for this code →

When this market actually buys
Busiest month: Aug (25.887% of the year) · quietest: Oct (2.455%) · hot window: Jul-Sep (50.54% of the year)
Note: this market does not peak in September. The standard advice — that the federal year ends September 30, so that is when the money moves — is wrong for your code. Yours peaks in Aug.
Based on 591 past awards.
