# Monitor Buyer Spending Patterns

Every buyer has patterns. Some departments run annual procurement cycles, others issue rolling task orders. Some stick with incumbents for years, others regularly test the market. Understanding these patterns before you bid gives you a timing and positioning advantage.

Contract Opportunities lets you run buyer intelligence queries to see award histories, spending trends, and supplier diversity for any public-sector buyer. Combined with award search, you can build a profile of how a buyer actually behaves rather than relying on what their procurement policy says.

**Tool:** [Contract Opportunities](https://toolrouter.com/tools/contract-opportunities)
