Agencies & Contractors

Built for both sides of procurement

One platform. Two powerful experiences.

  • Public and private solicitations with configurable visibility
  • Sealed bids — auto-unseal at a set date and time
  • Multi-step approval routing for publish and award decisions
  • Bid evaluation dashboard with side-by-side comparison
  • Per-criteria scoring forms with weighted scoring
  • Solicitation templates for repeatable categories
  • NIGP commodity code tagging for vendor matching

  • Solicitation documents with vendor-facing download access
  • Public vendor portal with custom branding and announcements
  • Award summary published to the public site

For Seller Organizations & Contractors

Find. Track. Submit. Win.

Stop chasing solicitations across a dozen different agency websites. BidBoard aggregates public opportunities matched to your commodity codes, keeps your team in sync on what's been submitted, and gives you a complete view of your bid pipeline.

  • Browse all public active solicitations in one place
  • Commodity code matching — see opportunities relevant to your work
  • Follow buyer orgs to get notified when they post
  • Org-wide bid pipeline — everyone sees what's been submitted
  • Submit bids directly through the platform — no email required
  • Structured response sheets — answer questions, price line items, attach docs

  • Private solicitation access — respond to invite-only RFPs
  • Bid history and status tracking per solicitation
  • Win rate analytics and submitted amount history

How it works

From setup to award in hours, not months

01

Create your org

Sign up, name your organization, set your type (buyer, seller, or both), and invite your team. Assign roles — admin, specialist, or supporting user. Done in minutes.

02

Configure your workflow

Set up approval groups for solicitation publishing and award decisions. Define who needs to sign off and in what order. No consultant. Just a settings page.

03

Post or browse

Buyers post solicitations — public or private, sealed or open, with documents and a timeline. Sellers browse, follow buyer orgs, and submit structured bids before the deadline.

04

Evaluate + award

Buyers score bids using configurable scoring forms, compare side-by-side, route the award for approval, and publish the result to the public vendor portal.

Platform features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

BidBoard ships with a complete procurement toolset. No add-on modules, no feature tiers that hide core functionality, no per-feature billing surprises.

🔒

Sealed Bids

Set an unseal date and time. Bids remain fully confidential until that moment — no manual override possible, no early peek.

Approval Routing

Multi-step approval chains for publishing solicitations and issuing awards. Each group approves or rejects in order, with notes.

📊

Bid Evaluation

Assign evaluators to solicitations. Score bids on configurable criteria with weighted scoring. View results side-by-side.

📋

Scoring Forms

Build response sheets with questions, pricing line items, and required document uploads. Every bid answers the same structure.

🏷️

Commodity Codes

Tag every solicitation with NIGP commodity codes. Sellers filter by their specialty. Buyers reach the right vendor pool automatically.

📁

Solicitation Templates

Save templates for repeatable procurement categories. Pre-fill descriptions, commodity codes, contacts, and response sheet structure.

🏛️

Public Vendor Portal

Every buyer org gets a branded public site. Post announcements, list active solicitations, share working instructions, and publish award results.

👥

Team Roles

Admin, Specialist, and Supporting User roles with appropriate access. Org-level and solicitation-level permissions.

🔔

Follows & Alerts

Sellers follow buyer orgs and individual solicitations. Get notified when a followed org posts new opportunities.

📅

Timeline Events

Attach key dates to solicitations — pre-bid conferences, site visits, Q&A deadlines — visible to vendors on the public portal.

📎

Document Management

Attach documents to solicitations, announcements, and bids. Vendors download specs directly. Bid attachments are stored per submission.

🔍

Private Solicitations

Limit visibility to an invite list. Send invites to specific vendors. Only invited vendors see and can respond to private solicitations.

No consultants. No onboarding calls. No waiting.

Your team sets it up. Today.

BidBoard was designed to be configured by the people who actually do procurement — not by a vendor implementation team. Every setting, approval workflow, template, and vendor portal is managed directly through the app by your admin. No tickets. No waiting. No surprise change orders.

Admin-managed everything

Approval groups, org settings, team roles, vendor portal content — all configured by your admin in a clean settings UI. No support ticket required.

Transparent, predictable pricing

No implementation fees. No per-solicitation charges. No seat-based price cliffs. Know exactly what you pay before you sign up.

Your data, your control

Export your solicitation history, bid records, and evaluation data at any time. No migration fees when you want to leave.

Built-in help, not a helpdesk queue

Every feature is documented in-app. If something's unclear, support is a message away — not a scheduled call three weeks out.

How we compare

A different approach to eProcurement

Most eProcurement platforms — Bonfire, IonWave, DemandStar — were built for large enterprise procurement offices with dedicated IT staff and large software budgets. BidBoard takes a different approach: full-featured, self-service, and priced for teams of all sizes.
