About

Built for the Trades.

Jobs & Bids exists because finding government contracts as a trade contractor shouldn't mean refreshing public procurement portals all morning.

What We Do

Our system automatically monitors public Midwest procurement (state, county, city, and federal) and surfaces the contracts that match the trades we serve, cleaned up and summarized automatically. Every notice is read, cleaned up and summarised on the card itself, so the scope, the deadline and who to call are on one page instead of buried in a PDF on somebody's portal. We filter, we organize, we deliver. You bid.

Who It's For

Skilled-trade contractors and small construction firms across the Midwest. HVAC and mechanical, plumbing, electrical, roofing, general construction, masonry, painting, plus a catch-all for related public work. Operators who spend their days running crews and their evenings hunting for the next job.

How We're Different

Most bid aggregators are built for procurement consultants and large general contractors. They charge roughly $200 to $400 or more a month and deliver wide, unfiltered firehoses across every industry. Those figures are estimated from publicly listed 2025 and 2026 pricing for comparable services; always confirm current pricing with any provider.

Jobs & Bids was built specifically for trade contractors. Our filters are tuned to the trades we serve, our pricing fits a small contracting outfit's budget, and we surface the trade work in your states rather than an unfiltered firehose across every industry.
