What is rebiddate?
A weekly email for commercial landscaping, grounds and snow firms. It lists the public grounds, mowing, tree and snow contracts in your metro: who the agency lists as the contractor, what every bidder bid last time, and the end date on the agency's own record, with a link to the record on every line.
Why did I get an email from rebiddate?
We sent you one line from the public contract records for your area, with the link to the record, because your firm does grounds or snow work. If you'd rather not hear from us, reply "no" to that email and we won't write again.
Where does the data come from?
Montgomery County's open-data contracts list and its bid tab pages, plus USAspending.gov and SAM.gov for federal sites. Each line links to the record. Where the data comes from lists every source and what it does and doesn't prove.
How accurate is it?
Every name, amount and date is copied from the record. Before a line is shown, our code checks it against the government's own file, and a mismatch drops the line. On 8 Nov 2026, a separate check, with code that shares nothing with our engine, re-derived 30 randomly chosen findings from the agencies' own records. 28 matched on every field compared. In the other 2, a card that adds up orders under one parent contract left out one active order under that contract. The results, record by record. Found a wrong line? Press Wrong record? on it, and the report is emailed to a co-founder.
Is the lowest bidder always the one holding the contract?
No. On 7 of 11 Montgomery County grounds and snow contracts, the holder wasn't the lowest bid. The tab doesn't say why; group splits and award rules decide. We show who holds the contract (from the contract record) and who bid what (from the tab), and we never guess the reason.
Is the end date when the contract goes out to bid again?
No. It's the date on the county's record. The county also lists a date it "can be extended" to. A contract can be extended, bridged or cancelled, and a past date can mean late paperwork rather than a finished contract.
Does it show how much a contract is paid each year?
No. Bid totals are the county's tabulated totals over estimated quantities. Federal figures are "obligations to date", not the size of the contract.
Is it all right to use these records?
They're public records. Montgomery County posts its contracts list and bid tabs for anyone to read, and federal awards and bid notices are on USAspending.gov and SAM.gov. We do what the county's open-data terms ask of apps built on its data: its disclaimer is at the foot of every page, we never suggest the county is part of rebiddate, and we never use its seal. U.S. government work has no copyright, and USAspending adds one limit on Dun & Bradstreet data. We don't use reseller data. This isn't legal advice; public records links each rule we rely on.
What areas do you cover?
Montgomery County, MD (county government), plus federal grounds, tree and snow work at sites in DC; Charles, Frederick, Montgomery and Prince George's counties, MD; Arlington, Clarke, Culpeper, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, Rappahannock, Spotsylvania, Stafford and Warren counties, VA; and the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Fredericksburg, Manassas and Manassas Park. Chicago and Cook County come next. Not covered yet: Montgomery County Public Schools, Montgomery Parks, WSSC, Rockville and Gaithersburg.
How fresh is it?
The county updates its datasets daily, and the feed email goes out weekly. Our county data is as of 8 Nov 2026. USAspending was loaded to 6 Nov 2026 at our last pull. Defense Department awards can reach USAspending late, and those lines say so.
Can I see a federal contract and bid on it next time?
Only if it was open to bid. We count contracts let by open competition, small-business set-asides and Montgomery County LSBRP reserves, and each set-aside or LSBRP contract carries a line that says who could bid (for example, only firms under the SBA size standard, or a program such as 8(a) or HUBZone). Sole-source and AbilityOne awards and orders under an existing contract are listed apart as not open to bid: never counted, and never called an opening.
Will competitors see my bids?
Your bid totals are already public on the county's tab, so anyone can read them there. We show only what the agency publishes.
What do you keep about me?
Your email, your metro and how you use the site and the email. Usage is recorded with analytics, including session recordings of what you type into our forms; the sign-in code field is left out. Details in our privacy policy.
What does it cost, and how do I cancel?
$249/month per metro, or $149/month at the founding price for the first 10 firms, locked for 12 months. The 14-day trial needs no card. Billing is monthly and you can cancel anytime from Billing. After the trial, the weekly email and export stop until you pay, and your saved metro stays readable. Pricing and terms.
