Questions

Where do the bids come from?+

Public bid listings posted by local governments, school districts and public agencies. It's all public — it's just scattered across hundreds of sites.

How is this different from BidNet or GovSpend?+

Those are built for large firms and cost thousands a year. LocalBids is for crews of 2–20 people: only your trade, only your area, in plain English.

Can I trust the summaries?+

They're a fast first read. Always confirm deadlines and requirements in the official bid documents — we link to them on every bid.

Which areas do you cover?+

We're launching state by state. Join the list and we'll tell you the day your area goes live.
