/EINPresswire.com/ -- SACRAMENTO, CA--(Marketwired - January 18, 2017) - With the launch of the California Purchasing Group this week on BidNet Direct, government contractors gain one central location for open solicitations. Bids found on the site are from state departments, counties, cities, schools districts, non profits and other public agencies across the state. All interested vendors are encouraged to register at www.BidNetDirect.com/california.

The California Purchasing Group is a bid system that makes it easier for companies to access thousands of business opportunities from local and state government agencies throughout California. Along with a central portal to search through bids, registered vendors also receive automatic notification of postings that are categorized within their specific industry.

Any company interested in viewing a sample of these open bid opportunities is welcome to do so at www.BidNetDirect.com/california, but must be a registered statewide notification vendor to view details of the solicitation. For more information about the California Purchasing Group or registering, vendors can contact Vendor Support at 800-835-4603 option 2, Monday-Friday from 5:00am to 5:00pm PT.

Local government buyers interested in using the California Purchasing Group to advertise their solicitations and expand vendor outreach can schedule a demo at www.BidNetDirect.com/buyer-demo.
