About FactWise

FactWise is a private US company that tracks how county governments buy: where each county posts bids and quote requests, who to contact and what its board is planning, so businesses can find and win public work without searching thousands of websites.

What we do

US counties spend billions of dollars a year on construction, road work, services, equipment and supplies. But there's no single place they post bids. More than 3,000 counties each decide for themselves: a bid platform, their own website, the local newspaper, or a board meeting agenda.

FactWise brings that together:

  • County pages for every county we've researched: where it posts bids, its bid platform, purchasing contact and agenda system, with a link to the county's own source.
  • Bid alerts that match what you sell, with as little noise as possible.
  • Meeting signals from board agendas and minutes, which often show purchases before they're bid.
  • A Vault and Autofill that keep your company details and documents ready for every bid.
  • Guides to selling to counties, starting with Texas, Indiana and Iowa.

For counties, FactWise also offers procurement software to run bids and evaluations.

Who we are

FactWise is a private company. We are not a government agency, and FactWise pages are not official county records. Always check the county's own posting before you bid; every county page links to it.

Our data

Our county information comes from public sources: county websites, bid platforms, newspapers and meeting agendas. We check sources regularly and show when each county was last checked. If something is wrong or out of date, please tell us and we'll fix it.

Your data

FactWise is a US company, and all customer data is stored on servers in the United States. See our privacy policy and security page.
