Governments.com Now Serving 25,000 Subscribers

ATLANTA, April 20, 2003 -

InsiderAdvantage announced today that more than 25,000 unique subscribers have registered for its GovernmentBids.com service.

"Registered users have more than doubled over the last year. The significant increase is due in part to the government's increased spending for homeland security measures," said Mark Knowles, president and Founder of GovernmentBids.com. "Our growth rate and average sales price remain strong as companies aggressively seek contracts at all levels of government, including federal, state and local entities."

GovernmentBids.com, a division of InsiderAdvantage, started July 1, 1998 and has quickly become the leader in listing local, state and federal government contract opportunities on the Internet. GovernmentBids.com lists procurement opportunities for over 17,000 local and state agencies plus all federal government agencies, and the service averages over 23,000 active bid opportunities every day. GovernmentBids.com also sponsors FreeBidMarket.com. This service allows governments to freely publish listings plus associated documents directly at GovernmentBids.com. The information is immediately available for free download by more than 24,000 registered worldwide users. The company delivers FreeBidMarket.com postings along with federal, state and local listings each day via email to subscribing contractors.

"Recent additions include our GrantAdvantage service, an alliance with epipeline - the leader in federal procurement information - and the introduction of 'Inside The Numbers,' Matt Towery's weekly analysis of InsiderAdvantage polls for Creators Syndicate. InsiderAdvantage polls are quickly gaining a national reputation for asking critical questions and getting accurate answers," said Gary Reese, vice-president of information acquisition for InsiderAdvantage.
