Every signal in Vendor Radar starts with a real public document — an agenda, a meeting packet, a budget resolution, a procurement posting. Our pipeline reads that document nightly, pulls out the forward-looking opportunity, and publishes it with a link straight back to the record — so you can open the source and check the claim yourself.
These are real published signals from 219,629 processed source documents, pulled from our production database when this page loaded. Bodies, dates, and summaries are not edited for marketing — open any source document and check for yourself.

The live signals above are real. The five walkthroughs below are illustrative — they show the document types and signal patterns we process nightly across our monitored states, and why each one is worth knowing about early.
| Source document | City council meeting packet — staff memo recommending authorization of a feasibility study for water main replacement along a downtown corridor |
| Government body | City of Moorhead, MN |
| Signal type | Project Planning (RFP Anticipated) |
| Service category | Water/Sewer, Engineering |
| Contract value indicator | $2.4M estimated |
| Forward-looking relevance | Feasibility authorization means an engineering firm will be selected for design within 3-6 months |
An engineering or water/sewer contractor who sees this signal can introduce themselves to the city engineer while the project is still in the study phase — months before a formal RFQ posts. A bid board would not show this until the solicitation is already live.
| Source document | County board meeting minutes — resolution approving a $1.8M bond issuance for courthouse HVAC system replacement |
| Government body | Yellowstone County, MT |
| Signal type | Budget Allocation |
| Service category | HVAC/Mechanical |
| Contract value indicator | $1.8M bonded |
| Forward-looking relevance | Funding approved; procurement for design and installation will follow |
An HVAC contractor who sees this signal knows the county has committed money and will be soliciting for the work. They can reach out to the county facilities director to learn about project scope and timeline before any bid hits the street.
| Source document | School district procurement page via QuestCDN — RFP for roof replacement at two elementary buildings |
| Government body | Bismarck Public Schools, ND |
| Signal type | RFP Posted |
| Service category | Construction |
| Forward-looking relevance | Active solicitation with mandatory pre-bid meeting and submission deadline |
Active RFPs are valuable — but even more valuable when you have already seen the earlier planning signals. Vendor Radar threads these signals together so you can see the budget approval, facility assessment, and board discussion from months earlier, alongside the live solicitation.
| Source document | Park board annual budget adoption — $650K trail reconstruction + $180K irrigation replacement |
| Government body | Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, MN |
| Signal type | Budget Approval |
| Service categories | Landscape/Public Realm, Construction |
| Contract value indicators | $650K trail, $180K irrigation |
| Forward-looking relevance | Budget adopted — procurement is next |
A landscape contractor or civil engineer who sees this budget signal knows exactly which park board has money allocated and what it is earmarked for. That is a warm lead grounded in a public record, not a cold call.
| Source document | City finance committee agenda — upcoming expiration of managed IT services contract, staff recommends new RFP |
| Government body | City of Eau Claire, WI |
| Signal type | Contract Expiring |
| Service category | IT Services |
| Forward-looking relevance | Expiring contract with RFP recommendation — solicitation likely within 60-90 days |
IT service providers who track contract expirations can position themselves before the new RFP posts and demonstrate familiarity with the body's needs, instead of scrambling to respond two days before deadline.
Real or illustrative, every signal follows the same four steps:
No speculation, no invented details. Every signal traces back to a public record you can open and verify yourself.
