  • ● SAP Business Network Discovery — TransLink public profile · TransLink’s posted opportunities, all 17 listing pages read 13 September 2026 (169 postings, 12 still open). Every listing row carries only an Ariba-generated default band — “$0 USD (Est.)”, “Less than $1000 USD (Est.)”, “$1000 to $10K USD (Est.)” or “$50K to $100K USD (Est.)” — and no TransLink figure. Open rail-relevant postings: “Refurbishment of WCE Bi-Level Passenger Cars” (posted 29 July 2026; the listing row shows a closing date of 10 September 2026, which the posting itself supersedes — see the posting page, which shows status Open and a respond-by date of 29 September 2026), “RFP - Systemwide Rail Flaw Inspection 2027-2029” (posted 27 August 2026, closes 8 October 2026) and “[ITP] Systems Engineering – Engineering Services Pre-Qualification” (posted 18 August 2026, closes 29 September 2026). Correction of 13 September 2026: the posting detail pages are NOT behind a sign-in. Each listing title links to a public SAP Business Network preview page at portal.us.bn.cloud.ariba.com/dashboard/public/appext/comsapsbncdiscoveryui#/RfxEvent/preview/<posting id>, which renders without an account in a browser session and carries the buyer’s own project summary, status, respond-by date and attachments. The three postings above are 1110020300 (Doc5802782588), 1110023066 (Doc5838732051) and 1110022025 (Doc5816792405). The listing pages themselves are server-rendered and readable to a plain fetch; sorting and pagination are AribaWeb postbacks that redirect an unauthenticated fetch to a sign-in page, so the full list is read in a browser session.
