Why BidFox exists
Every weekday the U.S. government posts hundreds of new contract notices on SAM.gov, and a large share are reserved for small businesses. Most small contractors never see the ones that fit them: the official search is built for people who already know the codes, and checking it every morning is a job in itself. Large companies pay for bid-tracking teams; a three-person roofing crew or an independent electrician doesn't have one.
BidFox does that checking for them. Every morning it reads the full public SAM.gov dataset, scores each new notice against the contractor's trade, states and certifications, and emails only the ones worth a look, with the reason each one fits. The public pages on this site, by state, trade, NAICS code and agency, come from the same data and are free to browse.
The founder's path
Eric trained in big data and artificial intelligence and works as an independent developer, building products on his own and in public: the numbers, the mistakes and the decisions are shared openly on LinkedIn and Reddit.
His first product, LaborIA, came from a simple frustration: in Spain most people accept a job offer without knowing whether the salary is fair, because the official salary data is scattered across statistics offices and job boards. LaborIA joined those sources into one page per profession and city. In its first four weeks it reached over 100,000 impressions on Google without spending anything on ads, and it now serves around 4,000 people a day, all from search.
The same approach, official sources first and plain language on top, led to TaxLien.io for U.S. property tax sales, then to Promti and Remmyn, and now to BidFox. Each one is small, built by one person, and judged by a single question: does it save someone real time or money?

A reminders app that understands what you say: you tell it what is on your mind, by voice or text, as you would tell a friend, and it turns that into tasks, events and people to follow up with, and reminds you before it slips.
How BidFox works with the data
All contract information comes from the public SAM.gov contract opportunities data published by the U.S. General Services Administration, downloaded every morning, and from its yearly archive for awards. BidFox does not edit the notices; it organises, scores and links them. It is an independent service and is not connected to SAM.gov or the U.S. Government. The full method is on the methodology page.
