The Federal government fiscal year runs from October 1 through September 30 of the next year. Most states do not follow the Federal fiscal year. In fact, only Alabama and Michigan have the same fiscal year schedule as the Federal Government. Along with different fiscal year schedules, several states have enacted a biennial budget. Knowing your state’s fiscal year is key to planning and pursuing state contract opportunities.

BC2Match scours state data sources and matches you with real-time results based on your criteria. Among our criteria including small business certification and location, a key feature of BC2Match is our Keyword Search tool. Because states do not categorize their opportunities with NAICS codes like the Federal government, it can be a challenge to find the right opportunity. Our Keyword Search tool helps us match you with state (and local) contract opportunities and saves you time from sifting through unqualified opportunities. All results are displayed in your State and Local dashboard
