Counts from the pipeline run of 31 August 2026 across SAM.gov, the Texas ESBD, Cal eProcure and five state and local portals. Duplicate repostings removed. The eleven-to-bid figure is for the demo profile shown above; your own count depends on your states, certifications and value range.


The problem

Bid alert services send cleaning companies bids for asphalt paving.

Keyword tools match text. They do not know that you are a small business in three states with a $3M bonding ceiling, that this contract is set aside for a certification you do not hold, or that the same incumbent has held it for nine years. So you read forty notices to find one, and sometimes you write a proposal you were never eligible to win.

How it works

Three minutes to set up. Then it runs without you.

01

Tell us what you can win

States you serve, certifications you hold, smallest and largest contract you can staff, and how much notice you need to put a proposal together.

02

We read the whole feed overnight

Every active notice on every portal we cover, matched on NAICS and PSC codes plus scope language, deduplicated, and benchmarked against historical award values at the same office.

03

You get a short email at 7am

Ranked, scored, and explained. Usually a handful of real opportunities and a list of what we filtered out, so you know nothing was quietly dropped.


Real output

An actual scored notice, not a mockup.

Scored for a fictional small-business, service-disabled-veteran-owned janitorial company serving California, Arizona and Nevada with a $50k–$3M contract range. The opportunities are real and open today.

Coverage, stated plainly

Federal nationwide. Texas and California statewide.

We would rather lose the sale than overstate coverage. Worth Bidding reads the complete federal contract-opportunity feed, the full Texas Electronic State Business Daily — every Texas state agency plus the school districts, colleges, counties and cities that post through it — the entire California State Contracts Register, and five other official state and local bid boards. We name each one and its live count rather than rounding up. Your daily email lists which sources ran and what each returned.

Questions

The things contractors ask first.

Where does the data come from?

The federal government's daily contract-opportunities export, published by SAM.gov and refreshed every morning. It is the same data behind the official portal, including the full solicitation text. Everything Worth Bidding adds is on top of that: eligibility screening, scoring, award benchmarking and the written reason.

Isn't this data free?

Yes. So is a pile of lumber. You are paying for the 84,000 notices you never have to read, and for being told which of the remaining handful is worth your proposal time.

Do you write the proposal?

No. Worth Bidding tells you which contracts to chase and what they historically pay. Writing the response is your job, or your proposal writer's.

What if the score is wrong?

Reply to the email and tell us. Every score shows the reasons behind it, so a wrong score means a wrong assumption in your profile — service area, certifications, contract ceiling — and that gets corrected in one message. We show the score's reasoning precisely so you can overrule it.

Do you cover state and local bids?

Partly, and we name the parts. Federal is complete and nationwide. Texas is complete at the state level: we read the Electronic State Business Daily, the mandatory posting point for every Texas state agency and for the school districts, colleges, counties, cities and councils of government that buy through Texas SmartBuy — 535 open notices from 104 buyers on the most recent run. California is complete at the state level too: the California State Contracts Register on Cal eProcure, 376 open events from 65 departments on that same run, including Caltrans, Corrections, the Highway Patrol, State Parks and General Services. Outside those two states we read five official open-data bid boards: Los Angeles, Delaware statewide, the Illinois capital program, Montgomery County MD and Baton Rouge, 511 open notices between them. That is still a fraction of the national state and local market, because most portals publish no machine-readable feed and have to be integrated one at a time. Florida, New York and Illinois statewide are next, and the coverage table above is updated the day each one goes live.

Two things the California register does not publish, so we do not pretend otherwise: a posting date and a contract value. It does advertise small-business and DVBE set-asides in the event title, and we read those, so a certified California small business sees the reserved contracts scored at the top.
