What is new in 7.49.51
Released with 7.49.51. Mark a notice Not bidding, see why each match is on your dashboard, find EU and Poland tenders beside your US matches, and see who holds the work now.
Not bidding
- On a notice, Not bidding under the call records your decision with a reason: Blocker, Too big, Wrong lane, Incumbent locked or Other. The notice and its later amendments leave your matches, your alerts and your searches. Undo puts it back.
- In search, the row menu has Not bidding too. "N hidden" shows how many you passed on; Show hidden brings them back, marked.
- Recording decisions is part of Core.
Lanes and "Why it is here"
- Your dashboard groups the kinds of work you do into lanes, suggested from your profile until you save your own with Edit lanes.
- Every top match says Why it is here: the lane and the words found, in the title or only in the description, how its NAICS code relates to yours, and the set-aside or clearance you meet. A notice outside your codes stays only when your lane's words are in its title.
- NAICS groups are now called code groups, so "lane" always means your own kind of work.
- If your profile has codes but no phrases, the profile page asks you to add what you do in your own words, with your lanes' phrases ready to add in one click.
Foreign tenders
- A Foreign tenders switch on the dashboard adds up to three EU and Poland tenders that match your phrases, in their own group after your top US matches, ranked by their text fit, not on the US score scale.
- Each shows its portal, the value as stated (and about how much in dollars, at the European Central Bank rate of the date shown, when a rate exists), the due date and the language of its documents. Always open the tender on its portal.
- When none match, the dashboard says when the feeds were last loaded; a feed that is late gets its own line. NATO (NSPA) tenders are searched live, not in this list.
The notice page
- Under Bid odds, Incumbent and price names who holds the work now, with the prior contract and its price band, when the award records show it.
- The confidence line names the key files read and how much of each; a key file read only in part lowers the confidence and says which.
- A staffing figure comes from the statement of work or the solicitation; a figure from a question-and-answer file is shown as such. When no figure is stated, WARNO estimates one from the stated value and says so: "From the stated value $3.8M over 5 years, at about $150k a person-year".
- Passages no longer show Word field codes such as PAGEREF.
Search
- Rows of a comma-list search say which phrase they matched, for example Matches: "program analyst", or which words, and whether they were found in the title and description or in the documents.
Wide screens and phones
- On very wide screens pages stop growing, About and the Learn guides sit in the middle, and long paragraphs keep a readable line length. On phones the Learn guides keep the same 16-pixel margins as the rest of the site.
