How to Find These Types of Summertime Bids on bidnet direct
As a registered supplier you’ll be able to search for the types of bids you want to see through our “Solicitation Search” feature. To narrow down your search to exactly the types of bids you want to see, use the various filtering options located on the left side-bar menu. Some of these filters include searching by keyword, location, purchasing group, category code, closing date, and solicitation type. One of the best ways to refine your bid search is to search by keywords, which allows you to enter keywords such as “summer”, “parks”, “landscaping”, “paving” or anything else that may relate to what you do to help you find the most relevant opportunities for your business. Depending on which package option you choose you can see bids that have been issued by federal, state, and local agencies along with our member agencies that post bids directly to our site.
If you find open bids that you’re interested in bidding on or want to save for later, start taking advantage of our “Save Search” feature which allows you to save any of your searches based on the keyword(s) you entered. For example, if your keyword search was “summer” you can save that and add additional parameters such as location, NIGP codes, or solicitation type and then every time you want to see those types of bids just click on your saved search in the search drop down. If you’re not a registered supplier you can still view a sample of open bids here, but in order to have access to these features and to download documents and specifications you’ll need to register.
