- Choose OAuth, the sign-in method that connects ChatGPT to Qualified Bid. If offered an OAuth client choice, choose CIMD (published client identity). Leave the client secret field empty. Qualified Bid uses published client identity.
- Complete the Qualified Bid sign-in and finish creating the app. If the screen offers Scan Tools, wait for the scan before choosing Create. The app appears among your drafts.
If your workspace shows Apps settings
Business owners and administrators can create the app; Enterprise and Edu members need administrator-granted access. Enable Developer mode under Settings → Apps → Advanced Settings, or through Workspace settings → Apps → Create. Open Apps → Create, enter Qualified Bid and the endpoint, choose OAuth and published client identity if offered, then Scan Tools. Complete sign-in, wait for the scan and choose Create. Workspace publication is handled by an owner or administrator.

Review and confirm your profile before matching starts.
If you already have a company profile, continue with that company. To request matches, ask: Using Qualified Bid, what can I bid on?
