RFP alerts
RFP alerts that fit what you sell.
Describe your business once. BidCast covers state, city, county and federal postings, updated three times a day, and emails you the open RFPs that fit, ranked by how well they fit. Follow one and you hear the moment it changes.
What an alert gives you
Matched to what you sell, not a keyword list
You describe what you sell in a conversation. The assistant turns it into a profile: the buyers you serve, where, and the phrases agencies actually use in titles. Open RFPs are ranked by how well they fit it.
State, city, county and federal, in one place
State procurement registries, city and county bid pages, cooperative programs and, with Federal, SAM.gov. Every match links straight to its official posting.
More →An honest fit, before you spend a week
The assistant flags the deal-breakers it finds, like references you'd need, staff who must be on site, or a set-aside you can't bid on, and says so plainly when an RFP isn't one to chase.
Addenda and moved dates, the day they happen
Follow an RFP and you're told when an addendum is posted, the due date moves or it's cancelled, with reminders 7, 3 and 1 day before it's due.
RFIs early, small purchases and co-ops tagged
RFIs and presolicitations are marked as early notices, and you're told when one becomes a solicitation. Small purchases and cooperative solicitations carry their own tags.
Questions answered from the RFP itself
Ask what an RFP requires. When its documents are available, answers cite the page they come from; when only the listing is, the assistant says so instead of guessing.

Questions
How much do RFP alerts cost?
The first month is free for one state, with no card. After that it's $10 a month per state, $29 a month for up to six states ($7 for each state after), or $149 a month for every state, DC and federal. Federal (SAM.gov) is a $29 a month add-on to Per state or Regional. Yearly plans are 30% off.
Which governments are covered?
State procurement registries (including DC), city and county bid pages, cooperative purchasing programs and, with Federal, SAM.gov. The Data page counts what is open right now.
How often are new RFPs added?
Postings are updated three times a day, and new matches come to you by email.
Do I still have to search?
No. Describe what you sell once and matches come to you. You can still search, and ask the assistant about any RFP.
What happens when an RFP changes?
If you follow it, you get an email when an addendum is posted, the due date moves or it's cancelled, and reminders 7, 3 and 1 day before it's due.
Can I see opportunities before the RFP is posted?
Yes. RFIs and presolicitations are tagged as early notices, and followers are told when one becomes a solicitation. Intelligence goes earlier still: council votes, agency forecasts and grants.
