Federal bids, every morning

Construction solicitations and award notices from SAM.gov, imported daily and updated when amended.

Prime contractor leads

Award notices name the company that just won a federal job, so you know exactly who may need subs.

Contact in one tap

Email or call the poster or contracting officer straight from the listing. No middleman, no bid fees.

Distance that's real

Every listing is placed on the map from Census data, so "within 50 miles" means within 50 miles of your shop.

Nothing invented

If a listing doesn't state a budget, we don't guess one. You never bid against a made-up number.

Private to members

Direct postings and every contact detail are visible only to signed-in members, not search engines or scrapers.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Straight answers about how TheBidBroker works and what happens with your information.

What does it cost?

TheBidBroker is free during early access: no subscription, no bidding fees and no commission on work you win.

Where do the federal opportunities come from?

From SAM.gov, the U.S. government's official contracting site, through its public API. Every federal listing links to the official notice so you can check each detail at the source.

How does the matching work?

We compare each listing with your profile: trade, distance from your ZIP code, typical job size, and how closely the work resembles your capabilities description. Listings outside your radius or trade are left out.

Can a subcontractor bid on federal prime contracts?

Usually a prime contract goes to a general contractor. That's why we also show award notices: they tell you which prime just won a job, so you can approach them about subcontracting.

Is the AI going to make things up?

Summaries are generated only from the listing's own text, and any dollar amount must appear in that text or it's thrown out. Every summary is labeled as AI-generated and sits next to the original.

Who can see my information?

Your profile is private to you. When you post a bid, its details and contact information are visible to signed-in members only. See our Privacy Policy for details.
