ProcureTap vs DemandStar — Aggregator vs Posting Platform
DemandStar is a procurement posting platform used by hundreds of state and local agencies — vendors can register for free and receive notifications from agencies that use DemandStar. ProcureTap is a procurement search aggregator: we pull from DemandStar AND from agencies that use Bonfire, PlanetBids, Jaggaer, Periscope, BidNet Direct, SAM.gov, and 280+ others, so you search one place instead of registering on a dozen platforms.
