AuditRadar — Texas Territory Report

What this is: a ranked list of nonprofit audit/accounting pursuit opportunities built from public Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) data and publicly posted RFPs. Every row links to its FAC report (app.fac.gov/dissemination/summary/<report_id>) or to the original RFP page.

Sheets: 01_open_rfps = solicitations checked automatically against the issuer page on the date shown in last_verified_at. 02_high_signal_accounts = accounts ranked by Opportunity Signal, then ICP Fit, then Data Confidence. 03_incumbent_landscape = audit firms observed in FAC for this territory. 04_program_context = federal programs per account (top 10 by expenditure).

How to read the scores: ICP Fit (0-100) = how well the account matches a regional nonprofit audit practice (size, complexity, geography). Opportunity Signal (0-100) = inferred evidence of change: A direct change (auditor change, first single audit, entered threshold), B complexity change (federal spend growth, new findings), T timing (new or missing FAC filing). Open RFPs are explicit demand: they are listed first and in 01_open_rfps, never added into the score (primary_signal_tier S). Data Confidence = HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW based on identifier quality, recency and resubmission status.

What the words mean: "fac_fiscal_year_end" = the fiscal year end date on the latest FAC report; "fiscal year end approaching" means that date's next anniversary falls within 90 days of the data date, and "no FAC submission observed" means the Clearinghouse shows no report for the following fiscal year as of the data date — neither is a statement about an organization's filing status, nor that it is seeking proposals. "most recently observed auditor" = the auditor firm named on the latest FAC report; it is not a statement about a current contract. "Auditor changed" = the firm on the latest report differs from the firm on the prior year's report. "Appears to have entered Single Audit-relevant level" = federal expenditures at/above the threshold applicable to that fiscal-year start ($750,000 before 2024-10-01; $1,000,000 on/after).

Coverage: blank cells with a coverage_flags entry mean the source did not report the value. We never display a missing value as $0. Form 990 columns (accounting fees, paid preparer, latest 990 tax period) come from the IRS Form 990 e-file data as filed; they are blank and flagged SOURCE_NOT_COVERED while a return has not been read yet, NOT_REQUIRED when the organization does not have to file a 990 with financial data, and NOT_APPLICABLE for a Form 990-EZ, which has no accounting-fee line. Form 990 accounting fees are not the price of an audit engagement: line 11c covers every accounting service bought that year - bookkeeping, the tax return, the audit - so read it as a ceiling on the audit fee rather than the fee (03_01 section 20.11). NTEE code, 501(c) subsection, revenue, assets and tax period come from the IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File: they are the IRS's figures from the organization's latest return, not current financials.
