You say: Where do I find bid opportunities? We say: Bid Match! *

Bid match services can be an essential tool in your government contracting strategy. But, are you using it effectively? Are those daily emails a well spring of relevant opportunities and information? Or is it draining your resources and clogging your in-box?

During this live webinar we will discuss bid match systems and provide tips for effectively using bid match results. Further, we will take an inside look at PTAC's Bid Match service*, how to read and understand your daily bid match emails, and how you play an important role.

* The NW Michigan PTAC offers a bid match service to our clients at no cost. This service monitors thousands of federal, state, local and international government bid opportunities and sends you daily emails of those opportunities that may be a match to your business. While our PTAC does not charge a fee for the bid match service, it is not free to us, which is why we make it available only to our active clients. Please contact your PTAC for more information.

This webinar will cover:
- What is Bid Match (and What it is Not!)
