Description

Bid Control is a service designed to assist contractors in discovering and preparing public bids from various agencies, including cities, counties, and school districts. It tracks over 3,800 public entities along with more than 540 bid websites, handling upwards of 190,000 bid pages each month. The platform highlights opportunities categorized by trade and service area, offering essential details such as contract values, submission deadlines, necessary forms, site visit information, and other relevant bid specifics. Additionally, users can set up bid alerts, access preliminary insights from agency meetings and budget discussions, examine historical award data, and monitor any alterations to bid dates or documentation. The Bid Builder feature streamlines the bid preparation process by auto-filling forms with the contractor's company details, while the Bid Team offers support with planning and managing paperwork. Contractors are able to explore available opportunities and coordinate their bid workflows conveniently through a browser on their smartphones, tablets, or computers. New users can initiate three job applications at no cost and without needing to provide credit card information, allowing them to test the service's effectiveness. This comprehensive approach ensures that contractors are well-equipped to navigate the bidding process efficiently.

Description

The REST API designed for postal code data in the United States and Canada offers various functionalities such as address validation and standardization, which includes appending ZIP+4 codes, as well as radius searches that utilize centroid haversine calculations for distances up to 500 miles and true spatial polygon intersections for distances up to 250 miles, providing a percentage of results that fall within the specified area. Additionally, it computes point-to-point distances and bearings, supports multi-entity autocomplete for cities, ZIP codes, counties, metropolitan areas, Forward Sortation Areas (FSAs), and school districts, and offers enrichments per ZIP code, including Census ACS demographic data spanning 14 years with 542 different fields, along with lookups for congressional, state legislative, and school district information.

This API operates on REST/JSON over HTTPS with API key authentication, CORS support, and adheres to the OpenAPI 3 specification, complete with a public Postman collection for ease of use.
