Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Contracting Opportunities

I see a future project that interests me. How do I get notified when it is advertised?

If the anticipated value of the work will exceed $100,000, the opportunity will be advertised on PlanetBids, unless otherwise noted. We assign each opportunity a set of relevant NIGP codes before posting. Once posted, PlanetBids will notify all firms who have included at least one of those NIGP codes in their profile.

If the anticipated value of the work will not exceed $100,000, the Port will use a simplified process to obtain lower value goods and services from qualified vendors. If you would like to be notified about these opportunities, please complete our Small Purchase Opportunities form.

Can I meet with someone at the Port to discuss an upcoming opportunity?

To help ensure a fair and equitable process, Port staff are unable to discuss specific details related to upcoming or currently advertised opportunities. For general meet-and-greet requests, please submit a request through our Contact Us form. We will review your request and make every effort to accommodate it, as appropriate.

I don’t see a particular service listed as a future opportunity, but I know the Port contracts for it. When will it be advertised?

If you are looking for a potential contracting opportunity that is not currently listed under Future Contracting Opportunities, please submit an inquiry through our Contact Us form. We also encourage you to check our website regularly, as future contracting opportunities and information are updated frequently.

Do I need to be registered with PlanetBids to be a prime or sub-contractor?

Your firm must be registered on PlanetBids in order to submit a bid or proposal. On construction scopes, any sub-contractor expected to be paid the greater of $10,000 or more than 0.5% of the bid price, must be identified as part of the bid, and therefore such sub-contractors must also be registered in PlanetBids. For non-construction opportunities, PlanetBids registration is not specifically required for subs, but it is preferred, and the Port may request registration subsequent to award.

I want to bid or propose on an opportunity, but I am unable to access my firm’s PlanetBids profile. How should I proceed?

If you are the PlanetBids account holder, but do not know your password, you may use the “Forgot Your Password” link on the PlanetBids login screen to reset the password.

If you are not the account holder, and are unable to access your PlanetBids profile, you have two options:

  1. Create an additional profile for the same firm
  2. Contact PlanetBids directly for assistance with the existing profile. Options to open a support ticket or call PlanetBids directly may be accessed without logging in via the Help Desk icon on the PlanetBids website.
