Set-aside watchlists
Small business set-aside bid leads matched to your work.
Public Bid Wire can help small operators monitor public opportunities that mention small business set-asides, trade keywords, service areas, and deadline windows.
Private paid reports
No live database exposed
Who it helps
Built for small businesses, contractors, suppliers, and service providers looking for public opportunities that may fit set-aside goals.
Customers choose a trade or industry, opportunity type, service areas, keywords, and notes. Public Bid Wire uses those settings to prepare a weekly paid watchlist from the private opportunity index.
Filtered by trade
Reports focus on work that matches the customer profile instead of sending every public notice.
Filtered by geography
Customers can add states, cities, counties, regions, or leave service areas blank for broader matching.
Deadline-first reports
Expiring opportunities are promoted so customers can decide what needs attention first.
Sample only
What a weekly email can look like.
This public sample is static. Paid reports include live matches from the private Public Bid Wire index, source details, deadline context, and the reason each item matched.
Example filters: small business set-aside, public contracts, government bids, trade filters, service area
Matched because the title, category, and deadline window fit the customer profile.
Matched because the service area and keywords fit the customer profile.
Matched because the opportunity type and trade settings fit the customer profile.
Common questions
How this watchlist works.
Will this page show live bid data?
No. Public landing pages explain the service. Live opportunity matches stay private for paying customers.
Can I choose more than one area?
Yes. Customers can enter multiple states, cities, counties, or regions in their service area settings.
Can I choose bids, grants, or both?
Yes. The signup form and dashboard support bids and grants, bids and contracts only, or grants only.
How often are reports sent?
Paid customer reports are prepared weekly from the private Public Bid Wire opportunity index.
