In their own words
BidNet Direct
BidNet Direct connects vendors with government bid opportunities and gives government agencies tools to publish, distribute, and award solicitations. Vendors can register for free to view, download, and respond to relevant bids, and receive curated alerts and real-time matches by email. Responses submitted electronically remain sealed until the closing date, and vendors may change a response until then. Buyers can create solicitations, distribute them to vendors matched through NIGP codes, run online Q&A, and award by line item or lump sum. The buyer system also includes vendor management, bid and addendum distribution, award distribution, and audit and control tools. Optional buyer modules cover evaluation, contract management, vendor performance, pre-qualification, and approval workflows. BidNet Direct says it uses AWS and localized data hosting, keeping US customer data in the United States. Vendor subscriptions include Local coverage for one state, Regional for three states at $200 a month, and National coverage at $330 a month. Federal bid coverage and advertising profiles are listed as add-ons. The service is web-based and targets local government procurement teams and vendors seeking public-sector opportunities.
