This is your Qualified Bid sign-in, separate from your Codex login. Use your work email and enter the six-digit code sent to that address. Use the same work email when connecting from another assistant.

Check the work email shown during sign-in before continuing. If asked, review the requested access and confirm it to finish connecting.

4. Start with your work

Open a chat on the same computer and send the first prompt below. Use /mcp to check the connection. Return to MCP servers to authenticate when prompted.

Using Qualified Bid, get me started.

You can research opportunities without a company profile. For tailored recommendations, start with your company name or a description of your work. Add your website or files if useful; a Unique Entity ID (UEI) is optional.

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?
