Bid Information Document

Definition

A Bid Information Document is a supplementary document provided with solicitations that contains information to assist offerors in preparing their bids or proposals. BIDs may include background information, technical data, site visit schedules, incumbent contractor information, and other relevant details not included in the formal solicitation.

BIDs help ensure all competitors have equal access to information needed for proposal preparation. The information is typically provided for reference only and may include disclaimers about accuracy. Offerors should review BIDs carefully as they often contain valuable insights into government expectations and current operations.
