MuniBidBoard watches city, county, school district, hospital, utility, and other public bid portals across Texas and sends contractors the jobs that match their trade and service area.
| Agency | Work | Closes |
|---|---|---|
| City of Plano | Re-roofing — Fire Station 4 | Jun 4 |
| Northside ISD | HVAC chiller replacement | Jun 6 |
| Harris County | Concrete sidewalk repairs | Jun 9 |
| City of Lubbock | Perimeter fencing — water plant | Jun 12 |
After watching contractors miss every municipal bid in their hometown because the portals don't talk to each other, I built MuniBidBoard. Watch the 2‑minute breakdown of the five tools that took me from broke to seven figures — including the one I had to build myself.
Texas has more than 1,200 public agencies that put out bids — cities, counties, school districts, hospital districts, utility districts, transit authorities, ports, education service centers. Each one uses its own portal.
Most contractors check two or three on a good week and miss everything else. Meanwhile a competitor across town wins the job because they happened to log into the right portal on the right day.
Pick the trades you bid — roofing, HVAC, electrical, paving, fencing, whatever you do — and the Texas counties or metros you actually work in.
Every morning we hand you the new city, county, ISD, hospital, utility, and other public bids that match. One list. No more tab-switching across 30 portals.
Every bid links straight to the agency's own portal — Bonfire, IonWave, OpenGov, ESBD, the city's own site. You register and bid where the agency wants you to. We don't sit between you and the contract.
Filter your feed to the work you actually do. Skip the rest.
Cities, school districts, hospital districts, and utilities are buying maintenance, repairs, and capital projects on schedules of their own. They keep buying when private construction slows down.
A lot of it is recurring — annual maintenance contracts, term agreements, on-call work. Once you're in with an agency, you tend to stay in. The hard part is finding the first one before it closes, and that only happens consistently when the bid portals are being watched every day.
MuniBidBoard is a Texas municipal bid aggregation service for trade contractors. We pull every open city, county, school district, hospital authority, and utility district solicitation in Texas into one searchable list, updated daily and filterable by trade. Every bid links to the agency's official free portal — never a paywalled third party.
BidNet Direct charges $2,000+/year and gates every bid behind paid vendor registration. GovWin IQ charges $10,000+/year. MuniBidBoard is $49/month and links you directly to the agency's free official portal where you can act on the bid. We scrape the same source data BidNet does — but skip the paywall.
50+ Texas cities and counties directly: Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, El Paso, Arlington, Lubbock, Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Irving, Laredo, Brownsville, Amarillo, Midland, Waco, Temple, Round Rock, San Angelo, and many more. Plus all Texas state agencies via ESBD and major counties: Harris, Bexar, Tarrant, Denton, Fort Bend, Williamson, Galveston, and Brazoria.
Every six hours, four times per day. Expired bids are filtered out automatically so you never click into a closed solicitation.
Local Texas government bids typically receive 2–3 bidders, while federal contracts on SAM.gov receive 6–10. Same scope of work, fewer competitors, simpler bid process. The Texas Prompt Payment Act also requires government agencies to pay within 30 days or interest accrues automatically.
$49/month. No setup fee, no annual contract, cancel anytime. Compare to GovWin IQ at $10,000+/year or BidNet at $2,000+/year.
Painting and coatings, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, concrete and paving, fencing, landscaping, janitorial, flooring, IT services, security, and general contracting. The bid filter matches your trade keywords across title, description, and NAICS classification.
Built for Texas contractors who want more public-sector opportunities without spending every morning checking bid portals.
