Frequently Asked Questions
Civic IQ is currently tracking 500 utilities pre-RFP signals in North Carolina — projects, hiring plans, and grant funding discussed in local government board meetings, agendas, and budgets before any formal solicitation is published.
Recent utilities signals in North Carolina come from agencies including Town of Hertford, City of Surf City town, and City of Sanford. 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 utilities to state, local, and education (SLED) buyers use these pre-RFP signals to find North Carolina 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 North Carolina, and uses AI to surface utilities purchase intent. New signals appear here as agencies publish new meeting records.
