State & Local Contracts

Every state portal. One feed.

State and local agencies buy everything from IT services to snow removal — but every state hides its bids in a different portal. BIDS monitors procurement sites across almost all 50 states, including state healthcare systems, K-12 districts, and public universities, and matches openings to your business automatically.

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.

Distinct government feeds BIDS watches — federal APIs plus state and local portals.

Stop portal-hopping

Maryland eMMA, Texas SmartBuy, Cal eProcure and dozens more — each with its own login and search quirks. BIDS checks them all every 6 hours so you never have to.

Local money, less competition

State and local bids often draw a fraction of the bidders a federal RFP does — and favor nearby, registered vendors. Being alerted first is most of the battle.

Registration help included

Out-of-state vendor registration is half the pain of SLED work. The BIDS Agent auto-fills vendor registrations and submission paperwork from your profile — you review and submit — with a full audit trail.

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 states does BIDS cover?

Almost all 50 U.S. states, spanning general procurement portals plus state healthcare systems, K-12 school districts, and public university systems. Coverage grows continuously — sources refresh every 6 hours.

Do I need to register in each state before bidding?

Most states require vendor registration before award (sometimes before bidding). BIDS surfaces the requirement per opportunity, and the BIDS Agent can auto-fill registrations from your business profile.

Does the free tier include state and local bids?

The free account covers opportunity discovery, matching, and a weekly digest. Full state and local coverage is part of the $5/mo Intelligence tier — so you can start free, see how matching works, and unlock every state feed for less than lunch.
