Why BidGovContracts
Less busywork. More bids you can actually win.
Stop hunting across a hundred portals
New federal (SAM.gov) and Texas (ESBD) bids for your trade — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, janitorial, and more — in one daily feed.
Skip the 200-page legalese
Sam reads the actual solicitation and its attachments — not just the listing — and pulls out the deadline, the bonds, the insurance, and the disqualifiers, so you can screen a bid before you open the RFP.
Bid only on what you can win
Bids are scored for fit with your trade, your location, and the set-asides you qualify for — small business, HUBZone, veteran-owned, and more.

- Daily bid alerts in place of the Monday digest — at most one email a day, on the days there are new bids for you, carrying up to 12 of them. When we hold a trade for your address and it is one we bucket — construction or janitorial — the alert is narrowed to it; when we do not, it carries the cross-trade list instead, the same one the weekly digest sends in that case. On a day with nothing new for you, Sam sends nothing. Nobody receives both cadences, and a lapsed membership goes back on the weekly digest.
- Unlimited full bid workups, published for specialty-trade construction and janitorial and facilities services — scope, key dates, money and bonds, insurance, licenses, set-aside, the top 3 disqualifiers, and the “Can you win this?” checklist. A free account opens 3 of them.
- The compliance matrix: the response requirements the extractor could pull out of the solicitation documents, row by row, with the source quote each was anchored to where it found one. It is the only workup section a free unlock never opens, and it appears on bids whose documents we could fetch and machine-read.

FAQ
Questions, answered
- Yes. The free plan sends a weekly digest of new bids — for your trade when you gave us one, and the cross-trade list when you did not — plus 3 free bid workups, no credit card required. Upgrading changes three things: the digest becomes a daily alert, the 3-workup cap comes off, and the compliance matrix opens.
- On the free plan, once a week — a Monday digest of new bids for the trade you signed up with, or the cross-trade list if you did not give one. If you signed up through one of the free tools, you also get a single follow-up about that tool a couple of days later — one email, not a series. Founding members get a daily alert in place of the Monday digest: at most one email a day, sent on the days there are new bids for them and skipped on the days there are none. Either way the email is a selection rather than the open feed, and nobody gets both the weekly digest and the daily alert.
- Public government sources: SAM.gov for federal solicitations and the Texas ESBD for state postings. We're the aggregator, not a reseller — you're always looking at the official record.
- SAM.gov only shows you the listing — to learn the bonds, insurance, licenses, and disqualifiers you still have to open every 200-page solicitation and its attachments. Sam reads the solicitation and its attachments for you and writes up what they say: scope, key dates, money, requirements, the top 3 disqualifiers, and a checklist of whether you qualify. That workup is published for construction trades and janitorial & facilities, and when a document can't be fetched the page says so rather than filling the gap. We don't just summarize the listing.
- We're starting with construction trades — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and more — plus janitorial & facilities, with additional trades on the way.
