Why generic bid alerts waste your time
Most contractors who set up government bid alerts end up with the same problem: a flood of email that has almost nothing to do with the work they do. A roofer gets notified about software contracts. A janitorial firm in Ohio gets bids that can only be performed in Texas. Within a week the alerts go to a folder nobody opens, and the contracts that actually fit slip past unseen.
The issue is that keyword alerts match text, not your business. They do not understand that a solicitation titled "facility envelope repair" is roofing work, or that a NAICS code you do not watch can still describe exactly what you do. So you either drown in noise or you miss the bid that would have paid for your year.
