I've been scrolling and searching this subreddit for a bit and haven't found any recent posts or info about local (county/city) bids, and am genuinely curious what the more experienced folks in here think about those types of bids.

1. Are they just not worth it if you are at a size where you can tackle federal contracts?
2. Are they generally accessible/feasible for your local trades shop that focuses on residential work? (e.g. HVAC company with 1 truck, two-person plumbing team, etc.)
3. If you are part of a company/organization that bids for federal and local, I'd love to understand the thinking/reasoning there.
4. Any other open thoughts around federal vs. local are welcome.

Full transparency: I am building something focused on the Local Bids side of things, which is why I'm so interested in learning more. But I'm not going to shamelessly self-promote. I've seen a number of the Federal-focused apps pop up in this subreddit already.

Thanks in advance!
