The problem

Finding the job was
never the hard part.

The bid notice is public. Anyone can find it — free, on a dozen portals. What costs you work is everything after that.

01

You don't know who's bidding

A public job might have thirty firms holding plans. Nine of them are primes who need your scope. You can't quote a GC you can't name.

02

You can't reach the estimator

Main office lines and info@ inboxes. By the time you find the right person, the bid is two days out and their number is already covered.

03

The list disappears

Plan holder lists close after bid day. Nobody keeps the history — so you never learn which primes actually chase your kind of work.

What you get

The list, the people,
and the pattern.

A

Live plan holder lists

For every open public job in your trade and county: the companies holding plans, updated daily — not a sample, the whole list.

B

Named contacts

Company, contact name, direct email and phone. Plus DBE and small-business flags, which is what primes are hunting for on public work.

C

Bidding history

Which primes chase which agencies, how often, and at what size. So you know who to build a relationship with, not just who to email today.

Straight comparison

Why not just use
a bid feed?

Use one. They're cheap and they work. They just answer a different question — and we'd rather tell you that than pretend otherwise.
