FAQ
Straight answers before you build your bid pipeline.
BidWatch is designed to reduce missed opportunities and noise without hiding the official procurement process.
Does BidWatch replace SAM.gov or an agency portal?+
No. BidWatch organizes and matches notices, but the issuing agency’s official posting remains authoritative.
Can different users receive different alerts?+
Yes. Recipients can be restricted by company, profile, category, or role. Matt’s account, for example, excludes cleaning work and administrative notices.
Does every source require a paid subscription?+
No. BidWatch begins with public sources and official APIs. Optional paid data providers can be added separately.
Can BidWatch guarantee contract awards?+
No. It improves discovery, qualification, routing, and deadline control; agencies make award decisions.
Can one agency account monitor several companies?+
Yes. The Agency plan is intended for separate client or company workspaces.
Are documents stored?+
The platform can retain source links and document metadata, with protected file storage available as the document pipeline expands.
