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 summarized 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, and painting. Operators who spend their days running crews and their evenings hunting for the next job.

How We're Different

Many bid services sell coverage one state or one market at a time, and some cover every industry in one feed. Rather than quote a price range from memory, our comparison prints each service’s own published price and the date we read it, including where a one-state plan elsewhere costs less than ours.

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.
