NATIONAL BID DESKNEVER MISS A BID AGAIN
A subscription bid department for small contractors

Never miss a bid again.

Your bid department, on subscription.

Public work pays well in every American city — but portals, deadlines, addenda, and eligibility gates bury small contractors. National Bid Desk matches federal, state, and local opportunities to your trades, flags the gates before they cost you, and prepares your estimates and proposals. You approve. You sign. You bid.

The service

What we take off your plate

Bid matching across federal, state, and local sources. A live deadline calendar so nothing slips. Gate flags up front — registration, prequalification, licensing, insurance, bonding. Document intake, addenda tracking, draft estimates in CSI format with marked-up takeoffs, proposal packages, follow-up drafts, and a monthly pipeline report showing what you bid and who won.

The process

How it works

1
One intake profile.

Your trades, service area, capacity, registrations, insurance, and bonding — completed once.

2
We scan daily.

Federal, state, and local sources matched to your profile. You get a short digest every Monday and Thursday.

3
You pick. We build.

Files organized, gates flagged, estimates and proposals drafted for your review.

4
You stay in control.

Nothing is submitted, signed, or priced in your name without your explicit approval.
