How we source bids
We identify the buyer and the procurement portal first, then reconcile each bid record against the source document. We do not display the full chemical line-item list publicly; subscribers see the reconciled detail per bid. The full posture, including the upstream-fix queue and the antitrust safeguards on cohort-aggregated outputs, is documented on /trust.
Worked examples
What this is worth in dollars.
Two anonymized scenarios drawn from real lane economics. Locations are described by size and region; municipality names are omitted because this page is public. Dollar figures use real per-unit ranges for each chemical.
Scenario 1: in-cycle
The RFP that posts at 4pm Friday
- Setting
- Mid-Atlantic regional water authority, ~140K served
- Lane
- Sodium hypochlorite, ~640K gal / yr, 24 month
- Last award
- $1.52 / gal
- Lane peer median
- $1.31 / gal
- Public RFP window
- 21 days
Without intelligence: You learn about the RFP on Monday via a Google alert, 18 days left, no relationship context. You bid blind at $1.55 / gal. The incumbent re-bids at $1.49 and wins. Your outcome: zero.
As a subscriber: You see the RFP within an hour of posting, last cycle's award, regional peer median, and the incumbent's recent delivery cadence slippage. You bid $1.38 / gal and win.
Outcome
640K gal × 24 months × ($1.38 − $0.95 delivered cost) = $550K gross over the contract life. ~31% gross margin vs zero on a blind-bid loss.
Scenario 2: out-of-cycle
The emergency rebid you would never have seen
- Setting
- Southeast county utility, ~50K served
- Trigger
- PFAS MCL exceedance reported to state
- Lane
- Granular activated carbon, ~180K lb / yr
- Rebid window
- 14 days, sole-source allowed
- Standard list
- $2.60 / lb
- Emergency premium
- $3.40 / lb is in-band
Without intelligence: Emergency rebids do not hit aggregator feeds. The utility calls its incumbent or a regional supplier with an existing relationship. You never see it.
As a subscriber: The trigger event fires in your alert feed within 48 hours. You see no existing GAC contract on file, a 90-day consent-decree deadline, and the freight band for your nearest plant. You bid $3.40 / lb on a 24 month deal.
Outcome
180K lb × 24 months × ($3.40 − $2.20 delivered cost) = $432K gross on a contract you would never have seen. ~35% gross margin on the emergency premium vs ~18% on a routine cycle bid.
Illustrative scenarios. Numbers within the real per-unit ranges for each chemical lane. Your actual margin depends on your cost structure, freight position, and how aggressive you choose to bid; subscribers get the data they need to answer those questions on a per-bid basis.
