The Tenders tab — My tenders and All tenders

The Tenders tab inside Project Signals carries every open federal procurement notice we can see in your country. We pull SAM.gov for US workspaces, CanadaBuys for Canadian workspaces, and both for cross-border operations. Refreshed daily — closing dates, disclosed dollar values, posting region, and the industry codes attached to each notice all come through.

The tab is split into two sub-tabs: My tenders and All tenders. Both pull from the same daily-refreshed feed; they just answer different questions.

My tenders

Your short list. Two kinds of rows land here:

• Tenders we matched to your profile. We look at the work the tender is asking for, the regions you serve, and the services you offer — when those line up, the tender shows up here automatically.
• Tenders you saved from All tenders. Anything you tap the orange Save button on lands here with an amber "Saved by you" badge. You can remove a saved tender any time with the Remove link on the row.

The summary line at the top tells you how many open tenders are in your list, the disclosed dollar value across them, and how many are closing this week (in red — those are the ones worth opening first).

All tenders

Every open federal tender in your country, sorted by closing-soonest, capped at 300 rows for performance. The same filters at the top — search, service, region, closing window — work here too.

Use this tab when:

• You think we missed a tender. If your kind of work isn't pulling much in My tenders, browse All tenders, narrow by service or region, and see what's actually out there.
• You're scouting adjacent work. Maybe you've never bid on highway maintenance but you have the trucks and crews for it — All tenders lets you see everything before deciding.
• You want the broadest view of your market. When things are quiet on the news side, the federal tender boards are still posting daily.

Why saving tenders helps

Every save tells us this is the kind of work your shop bids on, which helps us surface similar tenders to you and other shops in your trade going forward. The more you save, the sharper the matches get.

Filtering and searching

Four filters sit above the list and work the same on both sub-tabs:

• Search — matches against the tender headline, region, and the services tagged on it. Useful for narrowing to "pipeline" or "Edmonton" or "concrete" in one box.
• Service — narrows to a single service category. The dropdown is sorted by how many tenders use that service, with counts so you know what's busy.
• Region — a typeable dropdown covering all 50 US states plus Canadian provinces and territories. Start typing a state code or province name to narrow.
• Closing window — closing this week, closing in 30 days, all open, or closed (past deadline). Defaults to all open.

Filters reset when you switch sub-tabs so a province filter from My tenders doesn't accidentally hide every result on All tenders.

How long tenders stay visible

Open tenders stay on the list until seven days past their close date — that gives you a short grace window to follow up on near-misses without cluttering the feed. Tenders with no published close date stay until the source itself removes them.

What you'll see on each card

• Closing pill — red if closing within 7 days, amber if closing within 30, slate otherwise. No-close-date tenders show a neutral pill.
• Disclosed dollar value — only if the tender lists one. Many don't.
• Location — city and state/province if the buyer disclosed it, country otherwise.
• Service chips — what kind of work the tender is asking for.
• Notice type and industry code — NAICS in the US, GSIN in Canada. Useful when you want to follow a code over time.
• "View on SAM.gov" / "View on CanadaBuys" — opens the official posting so you can read full requirements, download the package, and respond.
