BEST PLATFORMS TO SOURCE GOVERNMENT TENDERS

Keep in mind that the landscape for government tenders may change, so it's essential to verify the current status of these platforms. As of my last update in January 2022, here are some platforms that are commonly used for sourcing tenders in the US and Canada:

United States:

1. Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) - beta.SAM.gov:

1. USASpending.gov:

1. State and Local Government Purchasing Websites:

Each state and local government may have its own procurement website where tenders are posted. For example, in California, you have Cal eProcure (caleprocure.ca.gov), and in Texas, there's the Electronic State Business Daily (ESBD) (esbd.cpa.state.tx.us).

Canada:
