Government Bid Alerts

Every government bid you qualify for. One alert.

BIDS watches SAM.gov, SBIR/STTR, Grants.gov, USASpending, and state and local portals around the clock — then matches openings against your business profile and alerts you before deadlines slip by. No more checking a dozen portals.

Open opportunities
Live Discover catalog — not awards
Live catalog on Discover: open notices still in play (solicitations, grants, OTAs, state/local). Excludes awards and forecasts. Larger than Active solicitations on purpose — that card is a subset.
Active solicitations
Open bid notices — a catalog subset
Formal notices still open for bid (RFP, RFQ, IFB, grants). A subset of Open opportunities — not the full live catalog.
Award records
Who already won
Past contract and grant awards — who won, for how much, and when the work ends. Not open bids.
Forecast signals
Not posted yet
Early signals before a solicitation posts (agency forecasts, sources sought). Not yet open for bid.
Contract vehicles
How agencies buy
Umbrella contracts (IDIQ, GWAC, schedule) agencies use to issue task orders. Not individual solicitations.
Live sources
Feeds we ingest
Distinct government feeds BIDS watches — federal APIs plus state and local portals.

Matched, not dumped

Keyword-scraped feeds bury you in noise. BIDS builds a profile from your website and certifications, then scores every opportunity for fit — you see the matches, not the haystack.

Alerts on your schedule

Weekly digest free. Real-time and daily alerts on paid plans, so a 10-day turnaround RFQ never dies in your inbox.

Recompete intelligence

BIDS also tracks who already won and when their contracts expire — so you can position for the re-bid months before the solicitation posts.

Built into BIDS

BIDS Agent — finds it, fills it. You approve and file.

Discovery tools stop at the alert. BIDS carries you further: Pre-Fill and the BIDS Agent browser extension reuse your business profile on official portals. You review every field and click Submit yourself — and Agent-tier fill sessions land in your append-only audit log. Nothing is ever submitted without you.

Auto-fill paperwork

Your certifications, NAICS codes, and past performance — entered once, reused on every registration and portal form.

You stay in control

Review fields on the official portal and click Submit yourself. BIDS never files without your approval.

Append-only audit log

Portal fill sessions you authorize are logged permanently so you can see what ran in your name, and when.

Common questions

Which sources does BIDS monitor?

SAM.gov, SBIR/STTR topics across all federal agencies, Grants.gov, the Federal Register, USASpending, NIH and NSF award data, plus state procurement portals covering almost all 50 states — including state healthcare, K-12, and university systems. Everything refreshes every 6 hours.

Is the free tier actually free?

Yes. Discovery, matching, and a weekly email digest are free forever — no credit card required. Paid tiers ($5/mo Intelligence, $19/mo Agent) add real-time alerts, state and local coverage, award intelligence, and auto-filled submission prep.

How is this different from a saved search on SAM.gov?

SAM.gov only covers federal solicitations and makes you do the filtering. BIDS aggregates federal, state, and local sources, matches them to your business automatically with explainable scores, and can even help you file with the BIDS Agent.
