KeybidBid management built for subcontractors.
Keybid brings the public bids in your trade and region together with every invitation to bid you receive. It reviews plan sets for cost risk, cites the sheet behind each finding, and tracks every bid through award.

One workspace for the entire bid cycle
Most subcontractors run bids out of an inbox, a spreadsheet and a lead service that stops at the listing. Keybid connects the steps, so nothing is retyped and nothing is missed.
Opportunity sourcing
Public bids from federal, state, county and city sources, filtered to your trades, your region and the time left to bid.
Invitation intake
Forward an invitation to bid, paste it in, or connect your inbox. Keybid records the GC, contact, scope and due date.
Plan review
Sheets indexed by trade, quantities pulled where the drawings support it, and cost risks flagged with sheet and spec references.
Bid tracking
Due dates, addenda and follow-ups in one pipeline, with every bid's status visible from first notice to award.
Public bids, matched to your scope
Keybid monitors public procurement sources and ranks each opportunity by trade fit, location and days left to bid. A grading contractor sees grading work, not the switchgear package across town.
- Filter by trade, state, city and due date. Scope is read from NAICS codes, CSI divisions and the listing text.
- Every listing links to its source. Open the original posting before you commit estimating time.
- Add to your pipeline in one click. The opportunity becomes a bid with its documents, dates and contacts attached.
Know what's in the set before you price it
Upload the full plan set. Keybid builds a sheet index by trade, pulls quantities where the drawings support it, and lists the items that change your number, each with the sheet or spec section it came from.
- Sheets sorted by CSI division, so each trade sees its own drawings first.
- 148 review checks across eight trades: prevailing wage, bonding, dewatering, overexcavation, testing, schedule and safety requirements.
- Every finding is cited. Go to the sheet, confirm it, and carry it into your number or your exclusions.
C-4.100 73 4600 61 1331 23 00Every bid tracked through award
Due dates, addenda and follow-ups live on one board. When an addendum moves a due date, the bid updates. Follow-up emails are drafted for your review, and nothing is sent without your approval.
- Addenda attached to the right bid, with date changes applied automatically.
- Deadline reminders for every bid your team is pricing.
- Win-odds estimates scored from your own bid history.
More than a list of leads
Lead services stop once you've found the job. Keybid stays with the bid until it's awarded, at a price published on this page.

Frequently asked questions
Where do the opportunities come from?
Public procurement sources: SAM.gov for federal work, state transportation departments, and county and city purchasing portals. Coverage varies by state and is expanding every week. Every listing links to the original posting.
Which trades does Keybid support?
Sitework and earthwork, concrete, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and HVAC, steel, masonry, and framing. Plan review routes sheets to each trade by CSI division.
Who owns the data I put into Keybid?
Your company does. Your bids, plans and contacts are never shared with other customers or sold, and you can export everything at any time.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The trial runs for the full 15 days with no card on file. You choose whether to subscribe when it ends.
Does Keybid work for general contractors?
Yes, as an estimating desk: every invitation on one board, plan sets reviewed by division, and addenda tracked to the hour. Scope-coverage tracking, sub invitations and bid leveling are on the roadmap and not yet available. If you need those, tell us before you subscribe.
Who is behind Keybid?
Keybid was founded by Ryan, a working sitework contractor, and is built around how subcontractors actually bid. You can reach him directly at ryan@keybid.ai.
