What’s Out There for Your Business

Mercer County spends millions of dollars on their budget every year and a bunch of that funding goes towards awarding contracts for goods and services needed throughout the county. The State of New Jersey also has some big budget plans for FY 2024 with a proposed budget of $53.1 billion.

On Bidnet Direct, there are currently 12 open solicitations and 235 solicitations that have closed in Mercer County since 2020.

This goes to show you that there are so many opportunities for your business to go after.

If your business is newer to government bidding, looking through closed and awarded solicitations is a great way to gain insight into the agency you want to do business with and a great way to see who some of your competitors might be, which you can easily do with Bidnet Direct. You can also see what the contracts were awarded for in order to better prepare your proposals for future opportunities you decide to bid on.

Getting Notified of Matching Opportunities

One of the best ways to stay in the know about new opportunities in Mercer County is to get notified of matching opportunities. To start receiving notifications, all you need to do is set up your NIGP categories and keywords within your bidding profile on Bidnet Direct. When selecting your NIGP categories you can scroll through the entire list of category codes and select all that apply to your business. These codes help identify the goods and services you provide so we can match you with any government opportunities that have those same codes attached to them. Adding keywords to your profile is also a great way to find matching opportunities. Say for example you sell computer equipment, you can enter in keywords such as, “computer”, “laptop”, and “keyboard” and any bid opportunity with those keywords will instantly pop up for you to review. Receiving daily email notifications allows you to never miss out on an opportunity and gives you the ability to start looking at the documents and specifications as soon as they’re published, so you have time to decide if you’d like to pursue the opportunity.
