Questions
Frequently asked
Is the final bid submitted for me?
No — Octobid is advisory. You always review and submit the final bid yourself.
Where does the data come from?
Official sources only: SAM.gov, CanadaBuys, verified state and local open-data feeds, and multilateral publishers such as the World Bank.
Can I use my own AI assistant?
Yes. Octobid runs an MCP server, so Claude, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client can mount your workspace with one URL and one API key — then read the solicitation, your profile and your past performance and draft with your own model. Included on paid plans.
Which regions are covered?
North America, by project location: US federal, a growing set of states and localities, and Canada — plus World Bank, UN and similar multilateral projects when the work itself is in North America. Refreshed daily; upgrade, downgrade or cancel any time.
