Explanation of State, Federal, & Local Bid Details

The researchers at StateAndFederalBids.com do their best to provide the basic details of a specific government bid and then link our users to the bid document and government entity requesting the bid responses. The specific details you will find in a bid are the following:

• The bid title - Most of the time the title is copied directly from the listing government entity.
• The bid category - This is the category that StateAndFederalBids.com has assigned to the bid.
• A hyperlink to the government entity - When available there will be a link to the government entity that is requesting the bid responses.
• A hyperlink to the bid - Most of the time StateAndFederalBids.com will link our users directly to the specific government bid. Sometimes this will be in the form of a PDF or Microsoft Word document. To view PDF files you will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader. If it is not possible to link directly to the state bid, federal bid or local bid, users should go to the government entity and search for the bid using the title we have provided. Our researchers will provide contact information to the entity (when available) so that proper bid documents can be obtained.
• End Date - The end date is the due date for all bid packet materials to be submitted to the government entity. StateAndFederalBids.com only holds active bids in the database. Thus, once this date has been reached, the bid will no longer be found on our website. When actively bidding, users should track the specific bid on the government entities website.
• Details - Within the details of the government bid, users will find a furhter description of the bid beyond the bidi title. When available, there will also be contact information to the government entity and specifics regarding the bid process.
