More work than bidders

There's more government work than companies bidding on it.

The government spends more with small businesses every year, and fewer small businesses show up to take it. Most people never bid because they don't know where to start. That is the part ZukoBid does for you.

30,000+
open contracts right now
Federal agencies, DLA parts and state and local buyers, live on the board as you read this.
Half
of the small businesses are gone
Just under 60,000 small businesses won federal contracts in 2022, against about 121,000 in 2010. The money for small business went up.
1 in 3
competed contracts drew one bid
272,879 contracts in three years were open to any company, and only one company bid.
You don't need experience. You need the nerve to bid.
For every contract, ZukoBid lays out what they want, where to get it, what it sold for before, what to bid, what you'll make, and where to submit.
1. What they want2. Where to get it3. What it sold for4. What to bid5. What you'll make6. Where to submit
The honest part: you front the supplier's cost, and the government pays about 30 days after a proper invoice. ZukoBid shows that number on every bid, so you know what you're putting up before you bid.

The problem

Bid boards list. They do not read.

A NAICS code cannot tell a stormwater build from a stormwater study. A title cannot tell you the pre-bid is mandatory, that bonding is 20%, or that the last four jobs like it went for $35 a ton. So a small shop spends its evenings opening PDFs to learn a job was never theirs.

What it does

Five passes over every solicitation.

Sorted by what the work is and by the role you would play: build, maintain, supply, service, design or inspect — with the sentence each tag came from. Construction and materials get the finest tagging; every other category is on the board too.

Why ZukoBid

Anyone can pull public data. We curate it to your business.

Every bid board reads the same government sites, then hands you all of it. ZukoBid builds a profile of your business — your trades, where you work, your set-asides, and every contract you like or pass on — and puts in front of you only the work you can actually bid, win and perform. A landscaper never wades through ammunition buys. A parts supplier never scrolls past roof repairs. Everything else is still there whenever you want it — one tap shows the whole board.

A profile that learns
Set it up in a minute — no codes needed. Then every like and pass, on your phone or your computer, teaches it what fits you.
Noise hidden, never deleted
Work outside your business steps aside instead of disappearing. Switch to All contracts and the whole market is there.
Built to win, not to browse
Each contract arrives with what it asks for, what it has paid, who competes for it, and BID, MAYBE or SKIP already decided.
Your whole team, one pipeline
Invite your estimator or office manager. Everyone signs in as themselves and works the same Bid List, pipeline and results — on one subscription.
Swipe

Work through the board like you're picking a match.

One contract at a time, already summed up: what it is, what it pays, how crowded it is, and BID, MAYBE or SKIP. Swipe right and it's on your Bid List. Swipe left and it's gone for good. Tap to flip it over for the details.

Every swipe teaches your profile what you want, so the next pile is better than the last — and it follows your account from your phone at lunch to your laptop at night.

Under the hood

Built to be checkable.

Graded every night
The classifier is scored against a hand-built answer key of real contracts each night — 96% on role, and the misses are visible rather than buried.
Every fact sourced
Each extracted fact carries the quote and page it came from. Anything the documents do not state is left blank, never estimated.
Read fresh, all day
Sources are re-read through the day, deadlines recomputed, and finished or withdrawn work drops off on the next good read.
Who it is for

Small shops that bid public work.

Site & civil contractors
Find the drainage, paving, earthwork and stormwater work in your states without reading a hundred solicitations that turn out to be design contracts or janitorial work.
Material suppliers
Delivered-material contracts — pipe, aggregate, emulsions, erosion control — separated from installed work, with what agencies actually paid per unit.
Suppliers & service firms
Equipment, parts, facilities work and service contracts are sorted the same way, so a supplier is not wading through construction lettings to find a delivered-goods order.
Coverage

Questions

The ones worth asking.

A bid board lists what agencies post. ZukoBid reads it: the trade and whether it is a build, a supply order or a design contract; the requirements buried in the documents; and what similar work was paid. Every tag and fact carries the sentence it came from.

Nearly 1 in 3 competed federal contracts drew just one bid.

272,879 contracts in the last three years were open to any company, and only one bid. ZukoBid knows which offices and which kinds of work they come from, and marks the open contracts where it is likely to happen again.

Federal base awards over $10K, fiscal years 2024–2026, competed contracts (full and open, set-asides and simplified acquisitions) that report how many bids came in: 272,879 of 922,767. Source: SAM.gov contract award records.
