Web site for bidding

[Rod]

Does anyone know if there is a web site for electronic design and prototype
bidding? I see there is plenty of sites for freelance programmers but for
some reason, I can't find any sites for freelance design people/companies.

Have not used this, so can't say if it is legit or not.

Freelance programming and product development are quite different businesses.
I don't know of anyone who would blind-bid product development, though I am
sure there are some.

Are you looking for appearance design only (industrial design) or for
turn-key product development? They are two separate businesses, a product
development co. will subcontract the appearance work to an ID.

There are individuals who do product development (real product development -
$100K - $500K per assignment) but they are few and far between. In general
they do not advertise, sales are by word of mouth.

I would write up an RFQ (request for quote) detailing what you want
to accomplish and send it to local firms - as I assume you are looking
for low $$ (no travel costs) and don't need the services of Battelle
and their kin.

I'm not looking for anything that would justify 6 figure numbers. I'm
looking for a few custom circuit boards to be designed and prototyped so
that they interface with what we have now. Preferably done in the US. The
suggested links received so far are on the lines of what I was looking for.



I was anticipating the electronic design community would have its own bid
sites but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Ah, now that's different from 'electronic design' ... circuit board a/w is
almost exclusively freelance.

Looking for competitive bids, though, won't make you popular with this
community -- no more than it would make you popular with MD's.
