What Find RFP does

Find RFP Inc. is a privately held subscription-based government procurement intelligence service founded in 1999 and headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The company operates the Government Bids Finder and Notification System, which aggregates publicly posted procurement opportunities—RFPs, RFQs, bids, and contracts—across more than 50,000 federal, state, county, city, and municipal government purchasing offices in the United States. The platform processes an estimated 2,000 to 5,000 new opportunities per day, combining a proprietary search engine with human editor screening to deliver personalized daily email notifications keyed to user-defined industry, keyword, and geographic criteria.

The company targets primarily small and medium-sized businesses seeking to participate in the U.S. government procurement market, a vertical the company cites as a $2 trillion addressable opportunity. Subscription tiers include Regional ($19.95/month), National ($29.95/month), Semi-Annual ($179.70), and Annual ($359.40), with custom-priced Enterprise installations for Fortune 1000 customers and discounted Group Packages sold through trade associations in Elective and Universal plan structures. Distribution is hybrid: direct online self-serve sign-up with a one-week free trial for SMBs, direct enterprise sales for larger buyers, and association channel partnerships for mid-market group sales.

The underlying technology was originally developed by JXE Inc., a St. Paul-based software consulting firm led by President Jeff Xie, for internal use in pursuing government contracts before being commercialized. Find RFP Inc. now operates as a standalone entity with 51–100 employees; available source material notes several hundred subscribers at the time of national press coverage in the Star Tribune and Business Journal, with no disclosed institutional funding, ownership changes, or major strategic transactions in the data set.

Others

• SAM.gov: SAM.gov is the U.S. government's free, authoritative portal for federal contract opportunities and entity registration — not a competitor in a commercial sense, but the underlying free source that any paid RFP aggregator (including Find RFP) builds on top of.

Broad incumbents

• Bloomberg Government: Bloomberg Government is a premium intelligence subscription for government contractors and policy professionals covering federal procurement, contracts and lobbying — broader and more enterprise-priced than Find RFP, but overlaps significantly on federal RFP and contract tracking.

Direct peers

• PlanetBids: PlanetBids provides a vendor portal and RFP notification service used by hundreds of government agencies and their suppliers — a direct peer to Find RFP across the same SMB-seeks-government-contracts workflow.
• Onvia: Onvia operates a government procurement intelligence platform aggregating RFPs, bids and contracts across federal, state, local and education agencies — the closest direct competitor to Find RFP's database-and-notification model.
• GovTribe: GovTribe is a subscription intelligence platform for federal contractors that tracks contract opportunities, awards and agency data — comparable to Find RFP in targeting SMB and mid-market government contractors with daily opportunity feeds.
• BidNet (Dodge Construction Network): BidNet aggregates government RFPs and bids from thousands of agencies and provides matched notifications to subscribers, mirroring Find RFP's core aggregation-plus-notification value proposition.
• DemandStar: DemandStar is a subscription platform connecting government agencies with vendors by aggregating RFPs, RFQs and bids — comparable to Find RFP in customer base (SMBs pursuing government work), coverage breadth, and self-serve subscription model.
• GovWin (Deltek): GovWin, owned by Deltek, is the leading subscription platform for federal, state and local government contracting intelligence, including RFP aggregation, bidder intelligence and pipeline management — directly comparable to Find RFP's federal/state/local coverage and subscription GTM.
• Periscope Holdings (BidSync): Periscope Holdings operates BidSync and related e-procurement platforms that aggregate government bids and provide matched vendor notifications — directly comparable to Find RFP's aggregation and subscription services.

Emerging players
