About BiddingSimple

Public bidding,
made simple.

Every year, governments across America buy hundreds of billions of dollars of work — roads, roofs, software, snow removal. That promise of open competition is one of the fairest ideas in commerce. We exist to make it actually feel that way.

Verified agencies Encrypted sealed bids No ads, ever

Two products, one place

Every US public bid, one feed

Opportunities from federal, state, and local sources — from snow removal to IT to catering — collected and organized daily into one place you can search, filter, save, and get matched on. Every listing links straight back to the official posting, because the source is sacred.

Browse all bids

A fair, sealed e-bid you run yourself

Agencies post a solicitation in minutes, collect bids that are encrypted in each vendor's browser until the deadline, open them all at once, and export an audit-ready record — the fairness of enterprise e-procurement, without the software or the price tag.

How agencies use it

Why we built this

Public money should be easy to compete for.

Public bidding works like this: the government has to say what it needs out loud, and anyone qualified gets a shot. In practice, that promise is buried. The opportunities are scattered across hundreds of clunky portals. The software that manages them is priced for big-city procurement departments. A two-person shop gives up before their first bid, and a small-town purchasing clerk mails paper envelopes because the alternative costs $40,000 a year.

Sealed bidding should be math, not a promise. Nobody — including us — can peek at a bid before the deadline.

So we built the version we wished existed. One place where every public bid lands and gets matched to the businesses that can actually do the work. One flat, honest price instead of enterprise contracts. And sealed bidding done with real encryption, instead of a permission checkbox and a policy document.

The goal is simple: to be the place where small-government buying and small-business selling meet — with the trust built in, not bolted on. See exactly how the sealing works →

What we stand for

Four promises we don't break.

No ads. Never your data.

We're funded by subscriptions, not attention. We don't run ads, and we never sell personal information — the Privacy Policy says so in writing.

One honest price.

$9 a month for vendors who want the whole index. $95 flat for an agency to run a sealed bid. No demos, no sales calls, no 'contact us for pricing.'

The source is sacred.

Every aggregated listing links to the original agency posting, and we tell you — everywhere — to verify there. We organize the record; we never replace it.

Trust is engineered.

Sealed bids are encrypted in the vendor's browser and stay ciphertext until the deadline. Verified badges mean we checked the agency ourselves. Fairness here is math, not policy.

How we make money

Two prices. That's the whole business model.

Built for the people who do the work.

Most of our members are small businesses — contractors, shops, and crews who'd rather be doing the job than decoding a procurement portal — and the public agencies who want more of them at the table.
