FAQ

Why can I see solicitations but not open them?
You can browse the list while logged out, but you must log in to open a solicitation.

What’s the difference between a Bid and an RFP on the list?
Each card displays an indicator in the top-right showing whether it’s a Bid or an RFP.

What does the “Location” on the card mean?
It’s the location/building associated with the solicitation, defined by the organization’s admin.

Why do I only see part of the solicitation description?
The landing page shows a truncated summary. Open the solicitation (after logging in) to view full details.

How do NAICS codes affect what I see?
NAICS codes are assigned to solicitations by the organization admin. Filtering by NAICS shows only solicitations tagged with those codes.
