Using a Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin- (BRST-)invariant first-quantized formalism for closed-bosonic-string theory, we construct amplitudes for closed-string tadpoles in the conformal gauge and discuss the connection with covariant string field theory in the Siegel gauge. We also show that the application of the sewing rules, previously found for propagators, to pairs of these tadpole amplitudes yields the Klein-bottle and annulus one-loop vacuum amplitudes as required by duality and factorization.
