FAQ

How do I find public construction bids in Iowa?

Public Iowa construction bids are posted across federal SAM.gov, the Iowa state DOT, and dozens of city/county/special-district portals. BidRanger aggregates all of them into one place — 190 are open right now — free to browse, with an optional daily 7am email digest filtered to your states, categories, and keywords.

How many active construction bids are there in Iowa right now?

Is BidRanger free for Iowa bids?

The dashboard at /bids is free for anyone to browse — no account or signup needed. The paid feature is the daily 7am email digest, which costs $19.99/mo for just Iowa (Solo plan) or $49.99/mo for all 48 states we cover (All-Access).

What types of Iowa construction projects are tracked?

All public-sector solicitations: roads, bridges, utilities, water/wastewater, building construction, renovations, paving, demolition, electrical, mechanical, structural, environmental remediation. Trade classification runs for Wyoming plus every state with an active subscriber. Bids in other states are collected and searchable but show "Pending" for trade and project type until a subscriber for that state appears, at which point classification starts automatically. Where it has run you can filter to just the work you actually do.

How does this compare to ConstructConnect or Dodge for Iowa?

Both ConstructConnect and Dodge cost $1,000+/month and are aimed at mid-to-large GCs. BidRanger covers the same public-bid sources for Iowa (and the other 47 states we track) at a fraction of the price, with no sales call, no annual contract, and a 30-day refund.
