Before SamSearch
Wide category eligibility is a noise machine
Sell across school, janitorial, office, and medical and you qualify for a wide set of RFQs. You also get products you do not carry, quantities too small to bid, and agencies outside Schedule reach. Hand-reading that firehose to find an 86-award pattern is work a lean supply team does not have.
How they use SamSearch
