Output
Returns a JSON object with the current page number, count of results on the page, total matching bids, the keyword query used, the BidNet Direct source URL, the timestamp checked, and an array of up to 25 bid items — each containing title, category, location, notice ID, published date, closing date, time remaining, listing type, and a direct URL to the BidNet Direct solicitation page.
Example use cases
Finding construction bids by trade
“Can you search BidNet Direct for open government bids on 'electrical installation' and give me the first page of results with closing dates and locations?”
Monitoring new procurement opportunities
“Pull up the latest open government solicitations on BidNet Direct — no specific keyword, just show me the 25 newest bids so I can see what's been posted recently.”
Scoping bids across multiple pages
“Search BidNet Direct for open bids related to 'janitorial' and show me page 2 of the results so I can see more options beyond the first 25 listings.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.companyrecords-api.workers.dev/api/gov/governmentbids?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to discover open government procurement opportunities (RFPs, RFQs, IFBs) across US state, local, and federal agencies as well as Canadian government entities listed on BidNet Direct. It is ideal for vendors monitoring public contracts by keyword, procurement researchers tracking solicitations by region or category, or agents that need to surface bid closing dates and notice IDs for further action. It only returns public teaser fields — not full bid documents — so use it for discovery and triage rather than full document retrieval.
Side effects
- Empty results if keyword matches no open bids — returns items array with zero entries
- Page number out of range (above 40) may return empty or error response
- BidNet Direct upstream unavailability may cause timeout or partial data
- Very broad or empty queries return all open bids but may be slow to process
- Full bid documents are not included — only public teaser fields are returned
