Definition
投标 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to submit a bid' or 'to tender'. The two characters 投 and 标 can split when aspect markers or measure words are inserted: 投了标 (submitted a bid), 投过标 (have bid before). When naming the project or contract you're bidding for, use a preposition phrase with 对 or 为 before the verb, e.g. 对这个项目投标.
