About Federal Bid Alerts

Federal Bid Alerts sends small businesses the new US federal contract opportunities for their trade, state and set-aside, every morning. We follow 10,875 open opportunities across 480 trades today, so you do not have to search for them.

What we do

Every day the federal government publishes new contract notices: solicitations, presolicitations, sources sought and special notices. We read all of them, sort them by trade (NAICS code), place of work and small-business set-aside, and send each subscriber only the new ones that match what they chose.

How it works

Who it is for

Small contractors and subcontractors who bid on federal work: construction and trade firms, janitorial and facilities companies, IT and professional services, suppliers. It serves businesses that qualify for small-business, 8(a), HUBZone, women-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned set-asides especially well, because those notices are easy to miss and have fewer bidders.

Why we built it

Finding the right notices by hand takes hours a week, and the large research platforms for government contracting are built and priced for firms with a bid team. Federal Bid Alerts does one thing: the new notices for your trade, every morning, for $29 a month or $290 a year.

Our data and our independence

The opportunities come from the public federal contract opportunities feed, read every day. We do not change the notices; every alert links to the official one, which you should always read in full before you bid. Federal Bid Alerts is independent and is not affiliated with any government agency. See our terms and privacy pages.
