Questions

What Bid Banana is, in plain terms.

What is Bid Banana?
Bid Banana is a search engine for government RFPs, built for the small businesses that bid on public-sector work. It indexes 1.6M+ government bids and awards from 4,000+ agencies across all 50 states — state, local and federal — collected daily, with saved searches, Match, favorites, AI document analysis and award research. Plans start at $49.99/mo with a 7-day free trial.
Who is Bid Banana for?
Small businesses and solo bidders who go after government contracts without a full-time capture team. Each person gets their own seat, so a one-person shop and a ten-person team pay for exactly what they use. It is not built for large prime contractors who already run an enterprise intelligence platform.
Does Bid Banana cover my state?
Yes — all 50 states plus federal, in one subscription. There are no per-state or per-region add-ons and no version of Bid Banana that covers less. Every state has its own page of open and recently closed bids, and there are industry pages too, so you can see the coverage for your work before you subscribe. Browse bids by state →
How current are the bids?
Bids are collected every day from thousands of agencies and normalized so every result reads the same way, and new solicitations land the day they post. Closed bids and awarded contracts stay searchable too, so you can research who won a contract and for how much.
What makes Bid Banana different from other RFP databases?
Most bid databases scope a plan to a county, a state or a region, sell it through a demo, and quote a price that depends on how big your company is. Bid Banana covers all 50 states in the base product, publishes its price on the page, and sells itself — no demo, no sales call. Match also ranks bids by how well they fit your company, so finding work does not depend on guessing the right keyword.
