For California bidders & service providers

California solicitations from 200+ agencies, one email a day.

RFP Scout scans 12 procurement portals covering 200+ California agencies every morning and delivers the public solicitations — construction, services, goods, and IT — that fit your industry, certifications, counties, and keywords. Matched only on what the agency published, never on a guess. No manual portal crawling.

How it works

Three steps. Then wake up to matched opportunities.

1

Choose your sources

Pick which of the 12 portals to scan — or leave all on to cover all 200+ California agencies we track.

2

Set your filters

Select your industry by NAICS code (e.g. 236220 Commercial Construction), any certifications you hold (DVBE, SB, SDVOSB, MBE, WBE), the counties where you work, and the keywords that describe your work. Where a portal publishes an industry sector, we match your codes against it; keywords catch the rest.

3

Get your daily digest

Every morning by 9:00 AM Pacific, the matching opportunities land in your inbox — grouped by source, sorted by bid deadline, with a link to each bid on the source portal.

Why contractors pick RFP Scout

Built for the trades, not the desk jockeys.

Nothing is guessed

We match only on what the agency itself published: the industry sector a portal assigns to a bid, the set-aside language in the solicitation, the county, and your own keywords. No AI inference, no invented classifications — if a source publishes nothing, the card says so.

Set-asides, matched.

First-class support for the set-asides California agencies actually publish — DVBE, SB, SB-PW, SBE, MLBE, LBE, and DBE. Matched on explicit preference language in the solicitation text, never inferred from the agency or the program.

One email, not 200 tabs

Instead of logging into Cal eProcure, PlanetBids, Bonfire, BidNet Direct, and eight other portals every morning, you get one digest grouped by source with a link to each bid.

Stop missing projects in your own backyard.

Sign up in 3 minutes. Your first matched digest arrives in minutes, then every morning by 9:00 AM Pacific.
