Reach public buyers before the spec is written.
Oxpium builds the list of public buyers in your territory, finds the purchasing director and the end user, spots the projects they announce, and runs the campaign while they're still open to meeting vendors.

The public buyers who buy what you sell.
A school district, a community college and a county hospital don't buy the same things or the same way. Tell the agent the type of buyer, the state and the size: it searches public sources, business listings and websites, reads what each one runs, and hands you a list.
- Reading the request
- Public sources · Texas school districts
- Enrollment · 5,000 to 50,000
- Business listings · district offices
152 districts between 5,000 and 50,000 students.
A type of buyer
School districts, community colleges, public hospitals, transit and housing authorities: the agent finds each one in the area by its website.
A size
Students, beds or residents served when the website or public sources give it, so a district of 3,000 doesn't get the pitch for 60,000.
How they run it
Food service in-house or contracted, a central warehouse or not: the agent reads each website and keeps the buyers that run it your way.
How they buy
Whether vendor registration is open and where bids are posted: the agent notes what each purchasing page says, so you know the way in.
The purchasing director, and the person who writes the spec.
At a public buyer, purchasing runs the process, but the end user writes the need: the facilities director, the child nutrition director, the CTO. You want both. The agent fills in the columns your campaign needs, reads each website and verifies every email before adding it.

- Verifying emails
139 purchasing emails found and verified.
The purchasing email
The agent reads each website, finds the email of the purchasing department or of the business office, and verifies it before adding it.
The purchasing director
The director of purchasing or the procurement officer, with their email when it can be verified. They run the bids and the vendor list.
The end user
Facilities, child nutrition, technology, transportation: the agent looks for the director who writes the need in your field.
How they buy, what's coming
Vendor registration, where bids are posted, projects in the bond program: what each website says, sorted into their own columns.
Automations that spot projects before the bid.
A public buyer plans its purchases long in advance, and says so: it passes a bond, posts a job, invites vendors. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list. You show up while the project is being planned, when they can still meet you.

3 districts announced a new project this month.
New projects
Every month, the agent rereads each district's website and flags the projects that show up: a bond program, a new school, a renovation.
Hiring
Every morning, an automation flags the postings in your field: buyer, director of facilities, child nutrition director, network engineer.
A new purchasing director
Every month, the agent spots the buyers whose purchasing director changed. Someone new in the job often takes a fresh look at vendors.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like vendor fairs announced on websites: the agent reruns it on schedule and flags what changed.
A campaign before the spec is written.
Before a bid goes out, a buyer can meet vendors, watch demos and research the market. Once it's posted, most buyers ban contact outside the official channel. So the time to get known is before: while next year's budget is built and summer projects are planned, from January to April for most districts. The sequence stops on the first reply.
Subject Before your next bid, first_name
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
While they plan
Most districts build next year's budget and plan summer work from January to April. Your messages go out then, Tuesday to Thursday mornings.
Buyer and end user
Two campaigns side by side: the purchasing director to get on the vendor list, the end user to talk about the need. You call from your browser.
Tailored messages
Every email is built from the list's columns, and an agent step rereads the projects on the district's website to write the follow-up.
Stops on reply
As soon as a buyer replies, the sequence stops for their district. You take it from there, and the next follow-up never goes out.
Frequently asked questions
Write “school districts in Texas with 5,000 to 50,000 students”. The agent searches public sources, pulls each district office's business listing and website, and hands you the list with the city, enrollment, phone and website. It takes a few minutes.
Ask for “the purchasing director and the director of facilities of each district, with their emails”. The agent looks for them in professional databases and in each district's staff directory, then verifies every email. When someone can't be found, the purchasing department email takes over.
Tell the agent once: “every month, reread each district's website on my list and flag the projects that were just announced”. The automation runs on its own, and those districts land at the top of your list with the project. Add hiring in your field, which often tells the same story.
A first email to the purchasing director as part of their market research, a call three days later, then a follow-up the agent writes from the projects on each website. Alongside it, a campaign to the end user about the need. Everything goes out from your own mailbox and stops as soon as a district replies.
For 150 districts with their website read, the purchasing email, the purchasing director and one end user with about 230 verified emails, count around €25 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges several hundred euros for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
No. Oxpium doesn't track published bids. It works upstream: finding the buyers, the end users and their projects, and getting you known while they plan. Once a bid is posted, contact goes through the official channel, so keep your bid service for responding.
