State-by-State Bidding Guide

How each state's DOT actually publishes bid lettings and results - found by directly building and testing a scraper against each one, not secondhand. Always confirm exact requirements (bonding, DBE goals, prequalification) directly with the awarding agency.

Alabama

ALDOT publishes bid lettings and "Vendor Ranking" bid-tabulation PDFs through a year-indexed page (alletting.aldot.gov) - no login needed. "Alabama Builds" is the closest thing to a comprehensive statewide bid registry among the states we track.

Georgia

GDOT runs its own lettings and results pages, but Georgia's real standout is the Georgia Procurement Registry (GPR) - a genuinely comprehensive, statutorily-mandated statewide bid registry covering state agencies, cities, counties, and school systems in one place.

Tennessee

TDOT publishes "Apparent Bid Results" PDFs per letting. Tennessee has no GPR/Alabama-Builds-equivalent statewide registry, so university and municipal bid pages (UT system schools, MTSU, ETSU, and others) are tracked individually to fill that gap.

Florida

FDOT publishes lettings as a "Bid Solicitation Notice" PDF and results through bidletting.fdot.gov. Florida's MyFloridaMarketPlace Vendor Information Portal (VIP) adds a statewide, anonymous JSON-backed board for open agency advertisements; agency decisions and other noncompetitive notices are excluded before steel-scope review.

North Carolina

NCDOT's lettings/advertisement side has no scrapable per-project description, but its bid-results side has a public JSON API. North Carolina eVP now supplies the broader statewide layer: its public Power Pages grid provides open solicitations, issuing entity, scope text, and due date without requiring a vendor login.

Virginia

VDOT publishes upcoming lettings as PDF bulletins with an inconsistent flattened layout. The statewide eVA Virginia Business Opportunities board adds all open Construction-category postings through the same public Solr connector used by eVA's own search interface, including descriptions, agencies, locations, and closing dates.

Louisiana

Louisiana DOTD's awarded-contracts page is a plain HTML table that shows the winning bidder. LaPAC adds the statewide opportunity side: current UNSPSC construction-services and structures/building-component tables expose bid dates and original solicitation documents without login.

South Carolina

SCDOT's bid-tabulation and lettings archive runs through an anonymous SharePoint REST API. South Carolina Business Opportunities (SCBO) adds current statewide Construction and Minor Construction advertisements, including agency, scope, project number, due date, cost range, and project-document links.

Arkansas

ARDOT's current lettings are a public WordPress accordion and its historical bid-tabulation archive changes format around September 2025. Statewide procurement is transitioning from ARBuy to SAP Business Network; the current SAS handoff grid and both legacy public grids are checked so active transition-era opportunities are not silently dropped.

Mississippi

MDOT links each letting's "Notice to Contractors" bulletin and "Checked"/"As Read" bid-results PDFs directly from a single schedule table - no login, no guessing at file paths.

Kentucky

KYTC's lettings and bid-results PDFs extract unusually cleanly (no column-jumbling, unlike some other states' tabulations) and link directly from each letting's own page. Kentucky's legal-notice network also has the best real bid-relevant signal rate of any state we checked.

West Virginia

WVDOH's actual bid-tabulation platform (BidX) is login-gated, so a full ranked bidder list isn't publicly reachable. WVDOH's own "Award Status Report" PDFs fill part of the gap - real award data, but showing only the apparent low bidder, not the full field.
