Legal
Terms of Service
The short version. DibbsRadar is a paid tool that organizes publicly available DLA bid-board data. We are not affiliated with the Defense Logistics Agency. We do not guarantee the data is complete or current, and nothing here is bidding, legal, or procurement advice — verify anything you bid on against DIBBS itself. Your pipeline and bid data are yours: we never sell it and never show it to another customer. You can cancel any time from your billing portal.
1. Who we are
DibbsRadar ("DibbsRadar", "we", "us") is operated by DIBBSRADAR LLC, a Texas limited liability company, at 10730 Potranco Rd, Ste 122 #535, San Antonio, TX 78251. By creating an account or using the service you agree to these terms. If you are using DibbsRadar for a company, you confirm you are authorized to accept these terms for it.
2. What the service is — and is not
DibbsRadar collects publicly available solicitation and award data published by the Defense Logistics Agency through the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS), together with publicly available federal cataloging data, and presents it in a searchable feed with filters, saved searches, watch lists, email alerts, and a personal bid pipeline.
We are an independent product. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Defense Logistics Agency, the Department of Defense, or any government agency. "DIBBS" and agency names are used only to describe the data source.
DibbsRadar is an information and organization tool. It is not legal advice, procurement advice, bidding advice, or a recommendation to bid on or price any particular solicitation. Any scores, rankings, estimated values, or forecasts in the product are informational estimates produced from historical public data — they are not predictions of any outcome, and you should not treat them as such. Award decisions rest entirely with the government, and pricing and bid decisions rest entirely with you.
3. Data accuracy and coverage
We work hard to keep the data accurate and current, but we want to be straightforward about the limits rather than bury them:
- Coverage is not guaranteed to be complete. Our data is assembled from files DLA publishes on a schedule. A solicitation can be posted, amended, cancelled, or removed on DIBBS without that change being reflected here immediately, and it is possible for an individual record never to appear in the published files we ingest.
- Some fields are partial. Several fields — including item details, packaging, contract type, and approved sources — are extracted from solicitation PDF documents. Where a document is unavailable or unreadable, those fields are blank rather than guessed. Filters that rely on them will therefore not match every solicitation.
- Timing lags. Feed and award data are refreshed on a recurring schedule, not in real time. Award information in particular can lag the government's own records.
- Derived values are estimates. Any price, value, or quantity we compute from historical data is an estimate and may differ materially from actual figures.
Always verify a solicitation, its terms, its quantities, and its deadlines directly on DIBBS before you quote or bid. You are responsible for your own bids. We are not liable for a bid you did or did not submit, a deadline you missed, or an opportunity you did not see.
4. Accounts
You need an account to use DibbsRadar. You must give accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and tell us promptly at Support@dibbsradar.com if you believe your account has been compromised. You are responsible for activity under your account.
An account is for one customer — a single person or a single company. Sharing one account's credentials across separate businesses, or reselling access, is not permitted (see Acceptable use).
5. Subscription, trial, and billing
Full terms, including how to cancel and how refunds are handled, are on our Cancellation & Refund Policy page. In summary:
- DibbsRadar is a recurring monthly subscription at the price shown at checkout.
- New accounts start with a 14-day free trial. A valid payment method is required to begin the trial.
- Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the subscription begins automatically and your payment method is charged.
- The subscription renews automatically each month until you cancel.
- You can cancel at any time from the billing portal in your account. Access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for.
- Payments are processed by Stripe. We never receive or store your full card number.
- We may change pricing with at least 30 days' notice by email; changes take effect at your next renewal.
6. Your data and confidentiality
This matters more here than in most products. DibbsRadar customers compete against each other for the same contracts. Your pipeline can contain your vendor quotes, your unit costs, your bid amounts, your margins, and which suppliers you use. We treat that as confidential business information.
Specifically, we commit that:
- Your data stays yours. You keep all rights to the bid, pipeline, supplier, watch-list, and note data you enter.
- We do not sell it. Not to data brokers, not to competitors, not to anyone.
- We do not expose it to other customers. No other DibbsRadar customer can see your pipeline, your quotes, your margins, your watch lists, or your saved searches — in aggregate, anonymized, or otherwise.
- We do not use it to bid against you. The operator of DibbsRadar also bids on government contracts. We will not use any customer's pipeline or bid data to inform our own bidding.
We access individual customer data only where necessary to operate the service — for example to fix a bug, respond to your support request, or comply with a valid legal obligation. How we handle personal information generally is described in our Privacy Policy.
You grant us the limited licence needed to host, back up, and display your data back to you so the service can function. That licence ends when you delete the data or your account.
7. Acceptable use
You may use DibbsRadar to research, filter, track, and bid on government solicitations for your own business. You may not:
- resell, sublicense, republish, or redistribute the service or bulk data obtained from it as a competing dataset or product;
- scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the service, or use automated tools to exceed normal interactive use;
- share your credentials with, or provide access to, anyone outside your organization;
- attempt to bypass authentication, subscription checks, rate limits, or any other technical restriction;
- probe, scan, or test the security of the service without our prior written permission, or interfere with its operation;
- use the service unlawfully, or to infringe anyone's rights.
We may rate-limit, suspend, or terminate accounts that breach this section. The underlying government data is public and you are free to obtain it from DIBBS yourself — what this section protects is our service and the work of assembling it.
8. Availability
We aim to keep DibbsRadar available and its data fresh, and we monitor both. However, we do not offer a service level agreement or an uptime guarantee. The service may be unavailable for maintenance, provider outages, or causes outside our control, and our data refresh depends on systems operated by the government that can change or fail without notice. Interruptions are not grounds for a refund beyond what the Cancellation & Refund Policy provides.
9. Intellectual property
The underlying solicitation, award, and cataloging data originates from US government sources and is not claimed by us. The DibbsRadar service — its software, interface, design, brand, and the specific way we structure, enrich, score, and present that data — belongs to us and is protected by intellectual property law. These terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service while your subscription is active, and nothing more.
10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE DATA IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST CONTRACTS, LOST BIDS, MISSED OPPORTUNITIES, OR LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE — EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
11. Termination
You may stop using DibbsRadar and cancel at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms, that we are legally required to terminate, or whose payment fails and is not resolved. If we terminate your account without cause, we will refund the unused portion of your current billing period.
On termination your right to use the service ends. You may request an export or deletion of your data as described in the Privacy Policy.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the product changes. If a change materially affects your rights, we will give notice by email or in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use DibbsRadar after that means you accept the updated terms. The "last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Bexar County, Texas, and both parties consent to that jurisdiction.
