There is a resource 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.
Agencies and vendors in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee can post bid solicitations and sub-bid ads on PlanetBids.com 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, CEO 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.”
Hurricanes Helene and Milton have left widespread damage across the Southeast, and local governments are under immense pressure to restore infrastructure and public services quickly. By offering free access to its Emergency Recovery Hub, PlanetBids is helping to simplify the procurement process and give agencies the tools they need to connect with vendors who can help rebuild their communities.
“We’re here to help local governments get back on their feet,” added DiGiacomo. “With Disaster Recovery Bids, counties can find the vendors they need and get recovery projects underway quickly, without any delays.”
