North Carolina eVP Solicitations and Bids Scraper

What does North Carolina eVP Solicitations and Bids Scraper do?

It collects bid solicitations from the North Carolina electronic Vendor Portal (eVP) at evp.nc.gov. Each record has the solicitation number, title, owning department, status, solicitation type (RFP, IFB or RFI), primary commodity code, posted date, opening (due) date, description, mandatory conference date, special instructions and a link to the official page. Filters for keyword, status, department and posting date keep runs small, and pricing is per result.

Data source

The public Solicitations list on evp.nc.gov, read through the same anonymous JSON feed the site uses to render its table, plus each solicitation's public detail page. Data is live on every run.

Why use it?

• Bid alerts for North Carolina state agencies, universities and local entities that buy through eVP, without refreshing the portal.
• Filter by commodity or keyword to find work in your trade, such as software, HVAC, janitorial or traffic services.
• Track which departments buy what, and when opportunities close, for pipeline and market research.
• Replaces manual browsing of the portal and paid bid notification subscriptions.

How to use it

1. Open the Actor and set the filters.
2. Click Start. Download results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.
3. Add a Schedule and an Integration (Slack, Google Sheets, webhook) to get new solicitations automatically.

Pricing

Pay per event: a small fee when a run starts, then a fixed price per result returned. You only pay for records that pass your filters. Set maxResults to cap any run.

Limitations

• Attachments, addenda, tabulations and awards require a vendor login on the portal and are not included.
• The portal list shows at most 5,000 solicitations per search. Narrow with keywords for older records.
• Dates carry no time zone because the portal does not publish one.

FAQ

Is this legal? The Actor reads listings the site publishes for any visitor without a login and stores only business information published for that purpose. You are responsible for how you use the data.
