Vendor Communication No. 5 — Region Filter, Vendor-Applicant Filter & Lead Analytics

Sent to the full vendor base (any vendor with a contact email, not rejected) on July 21, 2026 — a general product update covering four changes affecting how buyers find and evaluate a vendor listing.

1. Region Filter Is Now Public

The vendor directory's Region filter became visible to every buyer, not just signed-in users. Keeping the states and regions you serve current on your profile directly affects who finds you.

2. Find Opportunities You Can Apply to Directly

The Opportunities page added a "Vendor applicants allowed" filter, AI-scored against each listing's eligibility text, to surface RFPs, RFAs, and grants where private vendors can apply directly.

3. Your RHTP Fitness Score

A reminder that every vendor profile has an RHTP Fitness Score that helps states and buyers gauge readiness and fit — a more complete profile raises the score.

4. Lead Analytics Dashboard (Featured Vendors)

Featured Vendors got a new Lead Analytics dashboard: profile views, impressions, contact-click tracking, and breakdowns by state and category. Non-Featured vendors see an upgrade prompt in its place.
