Maximize BidPrime
Relevancy. Get only the bids/RFPs important to you.
We understand that not all businesses are created equal. Even businesses in the same industry can provide quite distinct materials, services, and solutions. Our entire team at BidPrime, your assigned Account Manager, stand ready to ensure your search results are relevant to you and your business.
It is with this understanding, that we designed our robust array of technology tools. You want the bids/RFPs that match your business’s specific needs.
Along with the power of our technology, our clients have discovered that our solutions offer a level of customization unseen elsewhere in our industry. We use custom data matching tools to provide you with only the most relevant opportunities.
As some of you are aware, other bid search engines rely on very generalized and antiquated code systems. As a result of miscoded bids by government employees or internal staff, their customers either miss bids entirely or are forced to sort and dig through long, imprecise lists of irrelevant solicitations.
For additional customization, you have access to, and can utilize, our ‘Advanced Search’ feature. This allows you to ‘Exclude’ any bids that would otherwise clutter your search results.
You can also use the very helpful ‘Create Alert’ tool to setup and be notified, via email, on any new matches, based on your alert(s).
Again, if you have any questions, or aren’t comfortable with using the ‘Advanced Search’ or ‘Create Alert’ tools, your Account Manager will be excited to assist you in setting up the searches, or aid you in better understanding the tools.
We're here to make the government bid process easier for you. For more, call 888.808.5356.

The Big Bid Theory

Terrorism Revisited. The Threat Today with Dr. Colin Clarke.
LISTEN
Dr. Colin Clarke, author of After the Caliphate, returned to 'The Big Bid Theory' to update you on a myriad of subjects surrounding terrorism. Along with discussing his latest book, Clarke delves into financing, impact of migrant populations, strategies and tools for combating terrorism, a list of prevailing threats currently, and more.
A complex and broad problem. Government agencies in the United States, federal, state and local, continue to invest in the fight against terrorism. Is enough being done and are the optimal solutions in use?
Are you ready to live abroad? In this edition of Crazy Bids, Bill covers a bid involving U.S. backed support for humanitarian efforts in Syria.
LISTEN
As you listen to this episode, there are approximately 500,000 people who are homeless in the United States. As in, roughly half of the population for the state of Rhode Island! We wanted to know why and, as usual, we went right to ground zero for your expert.
Dr. Margot Kushel, Director of the UCSF Center for Vulnerable Populations, is recognized as an authority on issues facing the homeless and, this is important, has spent a significant portion of her professional life tackling the problems head-on. Dr. Kushel covers the scope of the problem, the impact on the healthcare system, what she would like to see government agencies do (note: some are taking action), and more. Spoiler alert: Some of her points will possibly make people uncomfortable.
In this edition of Crazy Bids, the state of Maryland is attempting to address the opioid crisis from the front.
