Tell us your trade, ZIP code or counties, and how far you can travel or deliver. We use that scope to check relevant government bid portals.

We spend up to one hour researching one trade in one service area. We check relevant public city, county, school, state, and federal bid sources and email you an Excel spreadsheet of the matching open bids we find.
See the buyer, official bid link, deadline and time zone where listed, key requirements, and portals checked. The report is dated, and the number of bids depends on what is open.
