Deadline calendar
Subscribe once, and the deadlines that gate your bids show up in Outlook, Google, or Apple Calendar automatically.
The dates that decide a bid — when a response is due, when a rule takes effect — do not belong on a page you have to remember to check. They belong in the calendar you already live in. The deadline calendar is a private feed you subscribe to once; after that, the dates that matter to you appear alongside your meetings, and update on their own.
What lands in your calendar
Two kinds of dates, both tied to things you already told FedScope you care about:
- Response deadlines for opportunities that match your watch lists. If you watch a market — say, 8(a) environmental remediation in the Southeast — every matching solicitation's due date shows up as an event titled "Response due — [the opportunity]." Set up a watch and it feeds your calendar automatically. See Alerts and tracking.
- Upcoming FAR and DFARS effective dates. The day a rule change starts binding your contracts, on your calendar, so an effective date never slips past you. See Regulatory watch, which is where you read what each change actually says.
Every event links back to the FedScope page behind it, so one tap takes you from the calendar entry to the evidence — and from there to the official notice.
It fills up as you watch more
An empty calendar is the correct result for a brand-new account. The feed carries the response deadlines of opportunities matching your watch lists. Watch a market or two and the events appear on the next refresh.
How to subscribe
On your dashboard, find Calendar feed — right below your secure connector URL — and copy the link. Then add it as a subscribed calendar in your calendar app. That is different from importing a file: a subscription keeps checking the link, so new deadlines arrive on their own.
Copy the link. On the dashboard, click the copy button next to Calendar feed.
Google Calendar. Left sidebar → next to Other calendars click + → From URL → paste the link → Add calendar.
Outlook. Add calendar → Subscribe from web → paste the link → name it (e.g. "FedScope deadlines") → Import.
Apple Calendar. File → New Calendar Subscription → paste the link → Subscribe, then set how often it refreshes.
Your feed link is private — treat it like a password
The link contains a token unique to you, and anyone who has it can see your deadlines. Do not post it or share it. Add it only to your own calendar app.
Things to keep in mind
A calendar entry is a reminder, not the official record
FedScope reflects the official record on a refresh cadence, so a very recent change at the source may lag. Confirm every deadline at the official notice before you act on it — the same rule as everywhere else in FedScope.
- It is one-directional. The feed writes dates into your calendar; it never reads your calendar or changes anything in Outlook or Google. Nothing you do in your calendar app flows back to FedScope.
- A date only appears when the source has one. If an opportunity has no published response deadline, there is simply no event for it — FedScope never guesses a date.
- What you watch is what you get. The calendar mirrors your watch lists and the rule record. If it looks quiet, widen a watch (see Alerts) and it will catch more.
What it costs
The calendar feed is built on watches and market tracking, which are paid features, so it follows the same access as those. A free account that has created one watch through an AI connector gets that one item's deadlines in the feed.
During beta
Payments are not open yet, so paid features cannot be purchased. If your account does not already include watches, the calendar stays empty for now — we will announce pricing before that changes. Your dashboard shows what your account currently has.
