FAQ

Where does the data come from?

SAM.gov's official public Contract Opportunities file, which the government publishes daily. We link every bid to its official notice.

Do I need to be registered to bid?

For most federal contracts, yes: a free SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Registration is free; never pay anyone to register. Free help is available from APEX Accelerators.

What's the difference between a solicitation, a quote request, and sources sought?

A solicitation or combined quote request is open for bids now. A presolicitation is a heads-up that one is coming. Sources sought is market research: replying gets you on the agency's radar and can lead to a small-business set-aside.

What's a set-aside?

A contract reserved for small businesses or a certified group (veteran-owned, woman-owned, HUBZone, 8(a)). Each bid shows its set-aside so you can spot ones you qualify for.

How often are pages updated?

Daily. Expired bids are removed once their deadline time passes.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime. Reply to any alert to change your trade or states.

Is BidHatch part of the government?

No. BidHatch is an independent, automated service. Summaries are generated automatically and can be wrong, so always read the official notice.
