What is GovTide?

GovTide^SM is a Fully Integrated, Hosted, Economic Development System w/Centralized Data To Implement Effective Public Policy & Programs.

Business Matching to Government Contracts

This feature is the most important feature of GovTide. Businesses will register and have the ability to match Federal, State and local contracts based upon NAICS codes and/or keywords within the business profile. Matching happens continually throughout the day, and businesses will receive emails when they have matched an opportunity (contract, solicitation, sub-contracting opportunity, etc). Businesses then have the ability to respond to the opportunity right inside of GovTide^SM.

Sub Contractor Opportunity Postings and Matching

For many contracts that could be found inside of GovTide, businesses may not have all the resources, requirements, or staff to be able to be the prime contractor. As such, there is a subcontracting component to GovTide which will allow prime contractors to solicit subcontractors for inclusion in a larger solicitation response. This way, all subcontractors are exposed to the Government contract at the time of bid submission, making the GovTide system one of the most transparent systems available for economic development.

Job Posting

If a business is in need of employees, or contractors, they will have the ability to post this job in the GovTide system. Individual / job seeker users will match to the job posting within hours and the business will have resumes to review and begin the hiring process.

Government Users Post RFP’s and Reverse Auctions

Government users can post solicitations. Businesses will match those solicitations and be able to submit bids. Bids can be evaluated and selected based upon the evaluation criteria set forth by the organization. By utilizing GovTide’s Reverse Auction system, the Government receives many qualified bids that push costs down, while still supplying the necessary information needed for boosting efficiency, and maximizing vendor diversity. Utilizing this system will also produce detailed procurement documentation, enable agility and mitigate risk while fueling economic growth.

Customizable Platform with Compliance

GovTide’s customizable platform can be used to standardize and automate bidding, approvals, and even 1099 generation in a unified and streamlined process. Additionally, compliance features (certifications, regulatory, etc.) can be built in to ensure local governments adhere to the law. Each instance is customizable and flexible.

Custom Analytics and Intelligence Reports

Utilizing GovTide’s feature rich reporting system, Government agencies can search for vendors by any number of options, and provide reporting details on businesses and individual job seekers. These reports evaluate economic growth and performance, along with short term goals such as job seekers that have registered in the past 24, 48 and 72 hours. Reports include powerful data collection and analytical capabilities to answer the questions you want answered.

Free or Paid Registration Model for Businesses and Individuals

GovTide is flexible. The system can be setup as a free model, whereby users/businesses can register for free or by having users register and pay a one time or recurring amount to be a part of the portal. GovTide^SM can be self sustaining as an economic development tool, or utilized as a system that allows for funding from federal, state or local governmental agencies.
