Frequently Asked Questions
Civic IQ is currently tracking 500 public safety pre-RFP signals in Illinois — projects, hiring plans, and grant funding discussed in local government board meetings, agendas, and budgets before any formal solicitation is published.
Recent public safety signals in Illinois come from agencies including Thomasboro CCSD 130, City of Venice, and City of Chicago. Each signal links to the agency's full Civic IQ profile with its RFPs, contracts, vendors, and decision-maker contacts.
A pre-RFP signal is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on signals gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
Vendors selling public safety to state, local, and education (SLED) buyers use these pre-RFP signals to find Illinois agencies with budgeted, in-progress demand — then reach decision-makers before the RFP drops, while requirements are still being shaped.
Civic IQ monitors board meeting minutes, agendas, budgets, and strategic plans from local government agencies across Illinois, and uses AI to surface public safety purchase intent. New signals appear here as agencies publish new meeting records.
