Our Purpose

DustyTrain is a public search engine for bids. We collect and organize open opportunities from agencies across the United States.

Share the Portals You Use

If you check certain city, county, district, or school sites for bids, send them in. Every verified bid posting portal we receive helps us create a better and more accurate search experience for you.

  • 📍 Email your links to [email protected]
  • 🧰 Add your trade or scope (for example: paving, HVAC, access control systems, food catering, etc.)
  • 🏙️ Mention your region and state
  • 💬 Optional: describe what you look for in a bid posting that helps you decide if it fits your work

Each verified portal improves how DustyTrain organizes and displays information.
