Can I request that OutreachSystems add a site to the USABID database?

Yes! If you have a state or local agency Web site that you feel we should monitor as part of our USABID database, forward the site information to our Internet research team. But before you do, visit our USABID Web page to make sure that the site is not already being monitored by us.

Assuming we do not already monitor the site, our Internet research team will evaluate it to make sure that it is a site we are able to include in the USABID database. There are several criteria a site must meet in order for it to be a good candidate for the USABID database:

The data must be presented in a format that we can work with. For example, we are not always able to work with PDF files.
The site must not have any copyright or legal restrictions that would prohibit us from distributing the information.
The site must publish at least three bids per week and 15 bids per month.
