In October 2026, Bid Atlas collected 186 public bids from 53 agencies in 39 states. The median response window was 22 days. 4% of notices mention bid security or a bid bond, and 18% list a pre-bid meeting.
A notice counts in the month its issuer published it, or the month Bid Atlas first saw it when no publish date is given. The response window runs from that date to the stated deadline. Bond, set-aside and pre-bid figures count notices whose own text states them; a notice can require a bond in documents that this count does not read. Coverage is limited to the agencies in the agency directory, so these figures describe that roster, not all U.S. public buying. See how Bid Atlas collects and verifies notices.
