How do Vendors get data from FedTeDS?
Vendors locate business opportunities as usual (e.g., FedBizOpps)
A link posted with the business opportunity directs vendors to a specific page on FedTeDS for the data
Registered Vendor Users login to FedTeDS and can download data for that business opportunity
Vendor Users cannot search FedTeDS for business opportunities or data; they must navigate to FedTeDS by way of a link posted with the public solicitation notice
