How we source bids
We identify the buyer and the procurement portal first, then reconcile each bid record against the source document. The Verified badge means the record has been reconciled to the actual posted document. The In review badge means the buyer and lane are matched but the record has not fully reconciled yet (typically fields like exact dates, line items, or document references). 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.
