CIRAS is dedicated to helping Iowa businesses discover and pursue government contracting opportunities that fuel their growth. As part of this commitment, the CIRAS BidMatch service will transition from a free tool to a paid annual subscription of $199, effective October 1, 2025.
Why is BidMatch changing?
Due to some changes in CIRAS federal funding this past spring, we are restructuring our services to keep supporting Iowa businesses, while still being able to offer the broad range of services that CIRAS and the APEX government contracting team have always offered. The BidMatch service is designed to provide more than just a list of leads—it’s a strategic resource that equips businesses with the insights they need to compete effectively in the government marketplace.
