Upcoming Alaska Apex Webinar for June 25:
Featuring BidMatch, APEX’s Solicitation Search Tool
apexalaska.org/events/2026/06/featuring-bidmatch-apexs-solicitation-search-tool-5/
One of the most difficult aspects of government contracting is finding the solicitation opportunities. It is difficult to track and search federal, state, and local government websites trying to find new jobs up for bid. BidMatch, a solicitation search software, captures solicitation data from 200+ procurement databases and then delivers the information via a daily email. BidMatch allows businesses to create individualized search profiles based on their capabilities.
This webinar will discuss how to create an effective search profile using the correct keywords, NAICS codes, and classification codes, time-efficient usage of the BidMatch notices, and how to use Contract Opportunities to its full potential.
