Talk to us about a projectQuestions buyers actually ask
Straight answers.
Can we buy through Sourcewell instead of running our own bid?
Yes. Public agencies can buy utility poles, hardware and pole services on Sourcewell Contract #060326-BIDR, awarded to BIDR Technologies and running through August 5, 2030. Register with Sourcewell for free, get a written quote from us, and cite the contract number on your PO. How to buy on Contract #060326-BIDR.
You're a newer company. Why should we risk it?
Fair question, and contracting officers ask it. We win on the things a track record cannot fake: same-day responses, exact pricing in writing, and delivery dates we set honestly instead of optimistically. Every job we deliver becomes documented past performance.
We're a small utility. Will we actually be a priority?
Yes. The big suppliers rank orders by volume. We rank them by the date we promised. A small agency gets the same person and the same speed as a large one.
Are your lead times real?
We quote the date we can hit, not the date that wins the order. If a date moves upstream, you hear it from us first.
How exact is "exact pricing"?
To the dollar, per product. No "call for pricing" pages, no surprises at the PO.
Do you work with primes and subs?
Yes. Direct awards, subcontracts, and teaming. If you are chasing a bid and need materials numbers fast, that is exactly what we are for.
