You run crews, not a desk. You can't check 40 government portals every morning — so the bids you miss aren't the bad ones. They're the good ones, gone. Florida Bid Alert sweeps every Florida government portal daily, checks every deadline against the official document, flags the traps that get bids thrown out, and puts one clean alert in your inbox before your first route.
Free sample first. No contract. No card. Cancel anytime.
Real Florida solicitations, pulled from the official portals this week. Every one of these closes on the date shown — whether you've seen it or not.
Three-year term, awarded per county. Read Addendum #2 before you price: it corrected the scope AND the bid sheet — numbers off the old sheet are wasted work. Most bidders are still working off the 10 AM time and the old sheet. Subscribers got this flagged at 6:30 this morning.
Steady public-facilities cleaning work. Watch out: five addenda have been posted — a proposal that doesn't acknowledge all five can be rejected unread.
Mowing, trimming, litter, herbicide and fence-line work across city easements — the kind of multi-year city contract that anchors a route map.
FSU's median contract requires FDOT Temporary Traffic Control (MOT) certification — one aggregator lists the wrong date entirely (Nov 12; the official portal says Nov 19). The Orange County pair are 5-year landscape contracts — the kind of anchor account that steadies a whole company's routes for half a decade. One warning: their SBE waiver window closed Nov 9 — if you can't meet the 30% goal and didn't file, subscribers knew before it shut.
That's this week. Next week's board is already filling. The only question is whether it's in your inbox or only in your competitor's.
Last week, a 26-acre lawn contract in Orlando was listed across the internet as "due Dec 1." Dec 1 was the contract start date. The real bid deadline was Nov 6 at 1:00 PM — nearly a month earlier. Anyone who trusted the headline prepared a bid for a contract that was already gone. Our subscribers saw the real date, flagged in red, days ahead.
Two Tampa janitorial bids looked wide open — until you read the fine print: both required a mandatory pre-bid meeting back in September. Miss it and your bid is thrown out unread, after you spent a weekend building it. We flag traps like this before you waste an hour, not after.
One email. Only your trades. Sorted by deadline. It reads like this:
This is for you if you run a Florida lawn, landscape, grounds or janitorial company with crews and insurance in place, and government work is money you intend to win — you just can't be your own full-time bid hunter.
This is not for you if you're not set up to bid public contracts, or you're outside Florida. We'd rather tell you now than take your $99.
1We sweep every portal daily — state, FDOT, counties, cities, school districts, universities. Dozens of sites, so you don't have to.
2We verify against the source — the solicitation and its addenda, never the aggregator headline.
3You get one clean alert — your trades only, sorted by deadline, traps in red, before your day starts.
4You bid the winners — one county or campus contract can pay for years of alerts. That's the whole math.
Less than one hour of a two-man crew's billable time. One mid-size government grounds contract runs for years. You don't need this to pay off twelve times — you need it to catch one contract you would have missed.
Don't take our word for any of this. Get the same alert subscribers got this week — the real bids above, the real deadlines, the traps flagged — and judge it yourself. If nothing on it is worth your bid, you've lost nothing.
Email [email protected] with your company name, your trade (lawn / landscape / janitorial), and your city — we'll send the sample matched to your trade.
Do it today: FDOT moved a mowing deadline 3 hours earlier on an addendum — and the corrected bid sheet is the only one that counts.
Public government solicitations — the State of Florida, FDOT, counties, cities, school districts and universities. The information is public. What you're paying for is the hunting, the verifying, and the filtering — done daily, so a deadline never depends on whether you remembered to check a portal.
Why not just check the portals myself?You can — owners do, for about a week. Then routes, crews, breakdowns and customers take the day, and the one bid that mattered closes while you're fixing a mower. Checking is not the hard part. Checking every day, forever is.
Are the deadlines guaranteed?Every deadline is checked against the official solicitation document and its addenda at publication — that's the standard aggregators don't meet. Agencies can still amend after we publish, which is why every alert links you to the official portal to confirm before you submit.
Do you bid for me?No. We find, verify and flag. You choose and submit — you're the licensed contractor, and the bid has to be yours.
Can I cancel?Anytime. No contract, no cancellation fee, no phone call required.
The bids close on schedule. The only variable is whether you saw them.
