BidMatch is a “webcrawler” that searches over 2100 Federal, state and local websites for bid opportunities. Because it searches for you, it can be a great time-saver. BidMatch searches by three criteria: geographic preference, NAICS Codes and keywords and will send you a daily email with its findings in a short synopses of the actual solicitation.

If you would like to take advantage of this free valuable service, we would be happy to help you get started.

Every level of government and often each agency or department within that level, has a set of contracting regulations.
