Scrape active bid events from the California eProcurement Portal (caleprocure.ca.gov). Returns structured data for each bid event: event ID, name, issuing department, bid type, dates, status, and optional detail fields (event type, format, category, location, contact information, and description).
What this actor does
The actor loads the California eProcure bid search page and retrieves all active procurement events posted by California state agencies. It:
- Navigates to the search page and triggers a full search via the InFlight NLX/PeopleSoft interface
- Extracts listing data for each bid event: event ID, event name, department, start date, end date, status, and detail URL
- Follows each event's detail page to collect additional fields: event type (IFB/RFP/RFQ), format, description, category, location, and contact information
- Respects the
maxItemslimit — stops collecting new events once the cap is reached
Input
| Field | Type | Default | Description |

Notes
- The portal returns active bid events by default. Closed or awarded bids may not appear.
- The actor uses Playwright (Chromium) to interact with the PeopleSoft-based portal, which requires JavaScript to render search results.
- No proxy or captcha-solving is required — the site uses TLS fingerprinting that Chromium clears automatically.
- The actor runs with 1 concurrent page to respect portal load limits.
- Requires at least 512 MB memory; 1024 MB recommended.
