Finding GovCon teaming partners in September 2026: look for the missing capability

- The user's target market, requirement or relationship objective.

- G2X Community Edition for the free Directory, opportunity and CRM work; Lumen is a separate agent offering.

1. **Define the contribution** Ask for the requirement, buyer, acquisition route and the user's capabilities. State the capability or access gap a partner must fill and what the user can contribute. Federal FY2027 begins October 1, 2026. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/app/companies)

2. **Find candidates** Use Agency Past Performance and NAICS Past Performance in Directory filters. Add the relevant performance fiscal year and other constraints only when justified. Primary NAICS differs from award NAICS. The name/UEI box is not a natural-language prompt. Inspect actual records and preserve their URLs. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/docs/understand-market/research-a-company)

3. **Test fit and access** Inspect cited work and current vehicle records. Treat apparent awardees as leads pending final awards; do not infer current teaming interest or capacity from past performance. Identify overlap, contribution and disqualifying uncertainties. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/docs/decide-to-bid/check-vehicle-access)

4. **Prepare the conversation** Return a small cited shortlist with proposed contribution, evidence, unresolved questions and a next conversation. Lumen can compare supplied company and requirement references; present the prompt as a request, not a completed demonstration. Free Community Edition supports the underlying Directory and CRM work. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/docs/lumen/ask-a-good-question)

Expected result: A cited partner shortlist with a proposed contribution and a specific question for each conversation.

### Free access
