Create a bid
Opportunities module
POST/bidsbids.create
A sealed line-item bid. A bidder never sees another bidder, and the org sees bids only after the deadline unless it holds `procurement.bid.unseal`. Creates a bid. Requires `Idempotency-Key`; a replay returns the original response. The organization is derived from the credential or the parent row, never from the body.
- Requires the capability me.work_details.write.
- OAuth scopes: me.
- Send an Idempotency-Key header. A replay with the same key returns the original response.
- Error statuses: 400, 401, 409, 422, 429. Errors are RFC 9457 problem details.
