We're here to help local governments get back on their feet. With Disaster Recovery Bids, counties can find the vendors they need and get recovery projects underway quickly, without any delays.” - David DiGiacomo, Chief Executive OfficerORMOND, FL, UNITED STATES, November 1, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- In response to the devastating impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, PlanetBids is providing free access to Disaster Recovery Bids, a public solicitation portal (PSP) to help government agencies across the Southeastern U.S. jumpstart their recovery efforts. Effective immediately, agencies and vendors in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee can post bid solicitations and sub-bid ads at no cost, expanding their reach to a wider network of vendors and subcontractors who can assist with critical rebuilding projects.
This initiative is designed to help local governments in affected areas secure the resources they need to rebuild infrastructure and restore essential services as quickly as possible. By opening up procurement opportunities to more vendors beyond their usual pool, agencies can connect with the right contractors and suppliers faster and contractors who have FEMA contracts can find new subcontractors, speeding up the recovery process.
“In disaster recovery, time is everything,” said David DiGiacomo, Chief Executive Officer at PlanetBids.“We want to support local governments by making it easier to find qualified vendors quickly and at no cost, so they can focus on what really matters - helping their communities recover.”

Quick and Easy to Use: Agencies can start posting bids right away - no integration with PlanetBids' full procurement system or any other system is needed. Any government agency or prime can get started, even if they don't have an existing eProcurement system in place.
