ProcureTap vs State Procurement Portals — One Search vs 50
Every US state runs its own official procurement portal — California has Cal eProcure, Texas has the Electronic State Business Daily, New York has the State Contract Reporter, and so on. Each one has its own login, its own search, and its own notification system. ProcureTap scrapes all of them every six hours and presents the bids in a single searchable feed.
