ProcureTap aggregates every US federal, state, and local government bid โ plus international sources including the EU, UK, Canada, World Bank, UNDP, and AusTender โ into one searchable database. 70,000+ live opportunities from 605+ agencies, refreshed every 6 hours.
Existing government bid tools cost $1,200 to $50,000/year and hide bid descriptions behind paywalls. All the underlying data is public โ SAM.gov, state portals, agency websites. ProcureTap just makes it searchable in one place with free access to the actual bid descriptions.
Contractors, service providers, IT consultants, staffing agencies, medical suppliers, and any small-to-mid business selling to federal, state, or local government agencies. Also useful for sales teams, grant writers, and journalists analyzing government spending.
Bootstrapped, solo, no VC. Built after a hockey-game conversation with a contractor friend who was tired of paying for tools that paywalled the bid descriptions.
ProposalPro turns a short job form into a polished, client-ready proposal in about a minute. The AI writes a technically specific scope of work (brands, model numbers, code references, quantities), plus exclusions, allowances, warranty, insurance, and change-order sections that prevent disputes later. Choose from 6 templates โ including 4 premium designs with a dedicated cover page and signature block โ then download the PDF or send a share link your client can accept online. Built for roofers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general contractors across the US and Canada.

Cost and honesty. BidNet Direct is $1,200/yr for limited coverage. BidPrime is $10,000+/yr. GovWin IQ starts at $6,000/yr. ProcureTap is $99/month (or $79/month billed annually) for broader coverage than any of them. And you can browse everything with full bid descriptions for free first โ you're not paying to find out whether the tool is useful for your business. The underlying data is public; ProcureTap makes no claim of exclusive access. We just aggregate hundreds of sources into one search.
ProposalPro's answer:
It's quick and cheap. The tool also allows quick sharing with clients and tracks your win rate.
ProcureTap's answer
Small businesses selling to government โ contractors, service providers, IT consultants, staffing agencies, janitorial companies, medical suppliers, food service vendors, and any small-to-mid business that wins government work as a meaningful revenue stream. Also used by sales and business development teams at mid-market companies with government verticals, consulting and grant-writing firms, and journalists or researchers analyzing government spending patterns.
ProposalPro's answer:
All contractors looking for easy proposal management.
ProcureTap's answer
Full bid descriptions are free to browse โ no credit card required. Competitors like BidNet Direct and BidPrime paywall the actual descriptions on tools that are supposedly designed to help you find bids. Coverage spans US federal, state, local, and international sources (EU, UK, Canada, World Bank, UNDP, AusTender), not just federal or a single state. Data refreshes every 6 hours across 605+ agencies.
ProposalPro's answer:
Has a wide range of templates, highly customizable, has the ability to tailor make to each contractor branding. The format looks professional with pricing features built in.

ProcureTap's answer
The origin was a hockey game with a contractor buddy. He spent half the night complaining about the software he uses to find government bids โ dated portals, expensive subscriptions, and worst of all, paywalled bid descriptions on tools supposedly designed to help him find bids. Somewhere in the third period he asked: "you know computers โ can you build a better version of all this mess?" Six months later, here we are. The underlying data is legally required to be public; ProcureTap just makes it searchable in one place with free access to what the agencies actually posted.
