Sell to State collects tenders and contract awards from official procurement portals and puts them in one schema. You search all of them at once, instead of one portal at a time.

1. Sign me in yourself. Try this first: you need me only for one approval click.
- If you can send HTTP requests: POST https://app.selltostate.com/api/v1/agent/signup with JSON {"client_name": "<your app name>"}. Show me verification_uri_complete from the reply as a link. I open it, sign up free with Google or email, and approve the code. Every "interval" seconds, POST token_endpoint with {"device_code": "<device_code>"} until the reply has access_token. Send access_token in the x-api-key header to the MCP server https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp.
- If you cannot send HTTP requests: tell me to add the MCP server https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp in this app. Its sign-in page also creates the free account.

## One search instead of many portals

Each country publishes tenders on its own portal, with its own fields and its own language. Sell to State reads them on a schedule and stores every notice in the same structure: title, buyer, supplier, value, status and dates. One query covers every country that you select.

## Plain words or boolean syntax

Type the words that your buyers use. For exact control, use OR, AND, NOT, "exact phrase", parentheses and -word. For example: ("body camera" OR "bodycam") AND police -training.

## Filters that match how you sell

Narrow the results by country, buyer, sector, status (open, awarded, cancelled), publication date and deadline. Keep only tenders that still accept bids, or look at the awards of the last 12 months to size a market.

## Every result links to the source

Each tender page shows the official notice link where the portal gives one. Read the original documents and submit your bid on the official portal.

## How it works

1. Type what you sell: Use plain words or a boolean query.
2. Pick countries and filters: Status, buyer, sector, dates.
3. Open the tender: Read the details and the official notice.
4. Save the search: Get new matches by email.

## Who uses it

- Sales and business development teams that sell to the public sector
- Bid managers who check several countries every week
- Consultants who look for public projects for their clients

## Questions

### Which countries can I search?

Award and tender data is live for 73 countries, from official sources. The country list on the pricing page shows the live markets. We add countries when vendors ask for them.

### Can I search in English for tenders in other languages?

Yes. See the feature page about tenders in English: the search adds the words of the local languages of each country.

### Is the search free?

You can browse the public atlas without an account. Filters, saved searches, export and the API need a paid plan: the 3-day pass or the subscription.
