What is a pre-RFP signal?
A pre-RFP signal is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on signals gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Vendors selling utilities to state, local, and education (SLED) buyers use these pre-RFP signals to find Illinois agencies with budgeted, in-progress demand — then reach decision-makers before the RFP drops, while requirements are still being shaped.
