Infotech® Digital IDs for the Bid Component

An Infotech Digital ID is an electronic tool that allows contractors to digitally sign bids submitted via the Bid Express service. If you wish to submit bids via the Internet, you will need to obtain a Digital ID and keep it current.  

One Digital ID is required for each individual submitting bids over the Internet. Any number of people at your business can have their own Digital IDs, as long as the applicant has the authority to bind the applicant's business to decisions made on behalf of the business by the applicant, including the authority to bid on behalf of the business. To use your Digital ID on a different computer or device, import the ID through the AASHTOWare Project Bids™ Bid component.

If you previously canceled a Digital ID, please remove that ID information from the Bid component before creating a new one. If you forgot your Digital ID password, do not create a new one.  Instead, please replace the ID.

If you change your name or company name, you will need to obtain a new Digital ID and pay the associated fees.  If you forget your Digital ID password or you change computers and do not have access to your backup ID, you will need to replace your Digital ID and pay the associated fees.

Digital IDs expire and must be renewed every two years. There is no additional fee to renew the ID provided it is done before the expiration date. Any bid submitted with the old ID will be accessible with the new ID.
