Questions

What is an RFP?

A request for proposals: a notice in which a government agency describes what it needs and asks companies to send a proposal and a price by a deadline. Requests for quotes (RFQ) and invitations for bid (IFB) work the same way for simpler purchases.

Where do these bids come from?

From SAM.gov, the official U.S. federal contract opportunities site, updated every day. Each bid links to its official notice. State, county and city bids follow later.

How are bids sorted into services?

By the NAICS industry code and the PSC product or service code in the notice, and by the words in its title. A bid can belong to more than one service. Always read the official notice to check the scope.
