Is there a fee to register?
There is no fee to register nor to participate in a bid.
Are there any fees to use the site?
Electronic bids will have a 1% or 2% fee charged to the winning supplier(s) only, unless the
bid is sponsored by the agency in which case the 1% or 2% fee will be waived. Certain
Agencies/Organizations including States, Counties, Cities, Colleges, Universities, and School
Districts have chosen to sponsor their bids. Therefore, RFP Depot will not charge any fees
whatsoever for these bids. The bids will be clearly marked with an Icon
that shows that the bid is free.
Additionally, most agencies will include language in the bid documents explaining that all fees to
the suppliers for a particular bid are waived.
How do I get notified of Bids?
When registering you will enter contact information for your company. Automatic notifications are generally sent in an Email or by Fax.
How do you know what bids to notify me of?
After registering you will be prompted to select your classifications. These define what
your company does. When a bid is released that matches these same
classifications an automatic notification is e-mailed to you.
Can we select regions where we work?
Yes, when setting up your profile
you can select what regions you work within. When a bid is released
within this region that matches your classifications an automatic
notification is e-mailed to you.
What agencies use the site?
You can browse the agencies that are currently registered with us and the bids posted by them on the
Agency User List.
After registering how long before I can log in?
Your account is activated within 24 hours, unless on a weekend or
holiday, and then it is within 24 hours of the next working day.
How long is the registration process?
The registration process takes less than 5 minutes.
Once activated how long does it generally take to get a bid in?
RFPD is designed to reduce the time and effort required to submit bids
and proposals by over 90%. However, as the number of documents and line
items varies from bid to bid there is no set time frame for all bids.
