Connected Federal, State and Local Sources,
Read Twice a Day
Discovery is the foundation the quoting, review and drafting run on. IFX Bid reads connected federal, state, county and city sources on a schedule. Each source is checked during onboarding, including any login or document-access limits.
Some of the Bid Sites Read Today
These are examples, not a closed list. Each source is read on its own terms, and new bid sites are added as adapters, so coverage grows with the places your buyers publish.
Your buyers publish somewhere else? Adding that site is a normal part of onboarding, tell us which one.
Reading a Posting Properly, Not Just Fetching It
A URL and a title is not an opportunity. Discovery is only useful if what lands is complete enough to judge.
Purpose-Built Adapters
Each bid site gets its own adapter rather than a generic crawler. SAM.gov's API, eVA's search, a county site's HTML table: every source is read the way it actually publishes, so nothing is lost in translation.
Full Solicitation Text
Listings are thin. A second pass pulls the complete notice behind each posting, so review reads the scope of work rather than a one-line title.
Deduplicated on Arrival
Aggregators republish what state portals already carry. Postings are matched on arrival so one opportunity appears once, no matter how many sources carried it.
Deadlines Parsed
Close dates are extracted and normalized out of a dozen different formats, so a bid closing Friday reads as closing Friday everywhere in the app.
Agencies Resolved
The issuing agency is identified and linked, building a record of who buys what, and which buyers your team has history with.
Set-Asides Detected
Small business, HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, 8(a): set-aside designations are read off the notice so you can filter to what you're eligible for.
Done Before Your Team Sits Down
The full cycle of read, review and backfill runs twice a day, morning and evening. By the time anyone opens the app, the new postings are in, reviewed, and sorted.
Sources Scraped
Every connected portal is swept for new and updated postings.
High-Volume Sources
Aggregators heavy enough to need their own window run separately.
Review Pass
Newly ingested bids are reviewed against each company's profile and bid history.
Full Text Backfill
Complete notice bodies are fetched for anything still missing them.
Runs again each evening, so afternoon postings don’t wait overnight.
Every Run Leaves a Record
Each scrape session logs what it found, what it skipped, and what broke. When a bid site changes its markup, and they all do eventually, you see the failure in the session history instead of quietly receiving nothing.
DLA DIBBS Context for Goods Bids
Relevant SAM.gov opportunities can be enriched with DIBBS line items, NSNs, approved sources and solicitation PDFs where available. DIBBS enrichment is not a complete independent feed. Source access, agency connections and document restrictions are described on our coverage page.
