Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find bids posted directly by the City of Chicago?

Most US cities post their procurement opportunities on the city government's official procurement page or through a third-party platform like Bonfire, PlanetBids, or BidNet Direct. ProcureTap aggregates from these sources every six hours. For bids specifically attributed to the City of Chicago government, look for organization names containing "City of Chicago" or the procuring department.

Are state and county bids also shown here?

Yes — this page surfaces bids tagged with "Chicago" as well as bids from county and state agencies that serve Chicago. Many Chicago contracts are issued through county or state procurement portals rather than city-only systems.

Do I need to register separately for each Chicago agency?

Often yes. Each agency typically uses its own vendor registration on its chosen procurement platform. The good news: most cities and counties use a small number of common platforms (Bonfire, PlanetBids, Jaggaer, BidNet Direct, DemandStar), so one registration on each platform can cover many agencies.
