The pilot product

One metro. One feed. Two pursuits.

The pilot launches in the Austin, Texas metro on public data: permit filings, published solicitation documents, and public procurement postings. Subcontractors are served first, to build verified coverage. The manufacturer specification layer follows in the same metro, off the same records.

A record, shown whole

Every subscription is worked from records shaped like this one: project, trade, stage, deadline, source, and history on a single record, checked against the document it came from. The record below is a labeled sample, built from the pilot record design. At opening it is replaced by a real published record from the pilot metro.

Sample record Stage: Bidding

Riverside Community Recreation Center

A sample project, invented to show the shape of a live record. No real project, firm, or posting is shown here.

Location
Austin metro, Texas (sample)
Trade in scope
Electrical (sample trade)
Bid deadline
A Thursday, 2:00 PM Central (sample date and time)
Documents
Published bid documents, specifications included
Planholders
Named on the record where the public posting publishes them
Source
A city procurement posting: a published public solicitation document. On a live record, the source is named in full, with the posting date.

Stage history, as a live record keeps it (sample entries):

  • 🗂️Permit record matched to this project and merged into one record
  • 📄Solicitation published by the public owner; the bidding stage opens
  • 🔁Addendum issued; the bid deadline moved, and the record shows both dates

For subcontractors: bidding stage, done properly

The pilot feed covers projects at bidding stage in your trade: the stage where the work is real, the documents are published, and the deadline is fixed. Each record is checked against its source, carries its bid deadline, and keeps its history as the project moves.

Verified records

One project, one record, however many sources reported it. The record names its source and keeps every stage change, so what you read is what the documents say.

Fit scoring and alerts

Records are scored against your trade and your working radius, and the score shows its reasons. Alerts run ahead of bid deadlines, not after them.

Published counts

The verified project count for the metro and your trade is published before the feed opens for sale, and republished each period. Thin counts stay closed.

What the pilot does not promise. The pilot feed is a bidding stage feed. Permit records reflect decisions already made, and no public source delivers private planning stage projects completely, so planning stage coverage is not part of the pilot offer. It joins the feed only when a lawful source for it exists, and this page will say so when it does.

How you work the feed

The feed is a working tool, not a report. These are the mechanics every record runs through, named plainly so the offer can be checked against them.

🔖 Saved searches

Save a search by trade or category and working radius. It runs against every new and changed record, so the list maintains itself instead of going stale in a spreadsheet.

📬 The daily digest

One digest each morning: the records that entered your saved searches overnight, and every change to the records you already hold, with deadline moves first.

👀 Follow projects and firms

Follow a project, a general contractor, or a specifying firm. Every change lands as a dated event on the record, never as a silent overwrite.

🔍 Document keyword search

Search the published bid documents in the feed by keyword. The hit is shown inside its section of the document, so you read it in context; the document itself is never republished.

📋 Bidder and planholder visibility

Where the public record publishes them, the record names who took out plans, who bid, and which contractor was awarded, so you can see the field you are bidding against.

🔁 Export and data push

Export any list in CSV, PDF, and spreadsheet formats, on the plans that carry export. A data push sends new and changed records to the tools your team already runs, in standard formats, on the plans that carry it.

Set up with you, not handed to you. We set up your first saved search and trade profile with you at activation, so the first digest you receive is already filtered to your trade and your radius.

For manufacturers: the specification layer, scoped

Public owners publish complete bid documents, specifications included. SubPursuit reads those published documents for the pilot metro and parses them by category: which sections appear, which products are specified, and what changes when an addendum lands.

The limit, stated on the page. This layer covers public projects at bidding stage in the pilot metro. It is not an early design stage influence product, and it is not sold as one. It tells your team what was specified when the job went out to bid, while the window to act on that knowledge is still open.
One feed, read two ways. Same records as the subcontractor feed, read for specifications. No second platform, no second database.

Built on records we may lawfully use

Every source in the feed has its terms read and recorded before a single record is taken from it. Where a source is silent about reuse, it is treated as not permitted until counsel confirms otherwise. Specification documents are read for their facts; the documents themselves are never republished. That discipline is the product as much as the software is.

Questions, answered on the page

What stage does the feed cover, and what does it not cover?

The pilot feed covers bidding stage: the stage where the solicitation is published, the documents are public, and the bid deadline is fixed. It does not cover private planning stage projects, because no public source delivers them completely. Earlier stage contents join the feed only when a lawful source for them exists, and subscribers are told in writing when they do.

Where do records come from, and is that lawful?

Permit filings, published solicitation documents, and public procurement postings. Every source has its terms read and recorded before a single record is taken from it. Where a source is silent about reuse, it is treated as not permitted until counsel confirms otherwise. Documents are read for their facts; the documents themselves are never republished.

What does one record contain?

The project and its location, its stage, its bid deadline, the published documents where they exist, the planholders and bidders the public record names, and the source the record came from, with the project's full stage history kept as dated events and never overwritten.

How is the published count computed?

One project counts once, however many sources reported it, and only records checked against their source document are counted, for a stated period and scope. The count is published before an area opens and republished every period. The full counting method stands on the method page.

What is the manufacturer layer, and what is it not?

It is the specification content of published bid documents on public projects at bidding stage in the pilot metro, parsed by category, with addenda tracked. It is not an early design stage influence product, it carries no forecasts, and it is not sold as any of those, at any price.
