Catalogs-BSL and Greenco on WISBuy
Badger State Logistics (BSL) and Greenco Industries have joined the lineup of vendors on WISBuy.

Ordering from the Medical Supplies Contract in WISBuy
The Medical Supplies Contract #505ENT-M12-MEDICALSUP-00 is now available in both WISBuy environments. In order to access these catalogs, a special role will be assigned by KIT Technical staff to a purchaser’s profile.
The above-referenced contract requires users to first obtain approval from MMCAP through an application process where a user or facility is provided an ID number. Several state agencies and facilities have MMCAP IDs with approved users for each ID.
BU Administrator’s will need to request access for users by emailing doawispro@wi.gov. The email will need to include the user name and MMCAP ID. Once the MMCAP ID has been verified, users will be assigned the Medical role within WISBuy. Users will not be granted access to medical catalogs without an MMCAP ID.
If you do not have an MMCAP ID, please follow the instructions below to obtain one:
In order to purchase from the MMCAP Medical Supplies Contract, you must fill out MMCAP's application and submit it to the contract manager (Mojgan Hall) as an email attachment to: Mojgan.Hall@wisconsin.gov. After your application is approved, MMCAP will assign your MMCAP ID number to you. If you already have an existing MMCAP number you do not need to fill out the application.
The most up-to-date MMCAP application is located at the following link: www.mmcap.org.
- Click on “What is MMCAP & Membership”
- Click on “New Member Info”
- Download the MMCAP application & agreement
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mojgan Hall at (608) 261-6359.

Important Updates
WISBuy would like to notify all agencies that new “Ship To” addresses will be uploaded into the system every Monday. We have quite a few requests throughout the week period including revised numbers and addresses. By developing a set-time we hope to reduce any errors and save time on the back side for all parties.
WISBuy would also like to make a suggestion to help reduce certain navigation errors on punch-out sites. Upon being redirected to a punch-out site, some computer systems prompt a “Security Warning” alert (below), which requires users to respond with a “yes” or a “no” – WISBuy users are requested to click on “NO” for avoiding navigation errors.

Background:
In 2012, the State of Wisconsin initiated the STAR project to modernize the State's procurement system. For more information regarding this project please see http://starconnection.wi.gov/home. There was an additional need to develop an eProcurement system to make "shopping" on contracts easier. Through a detailed procurement process, including cross agency input, the Sciquest system was selected as the WISBuy platform.
The PCard Marketplace was the first system introduced to State agencies in 2014 and the eCatalog was the second system introduced in 2015. Both systems are visually the same, the differences in the two systems are how users access each system and the payment method. The PCard Marketplace is a secure website and the eCatalog can only be accessed through STAR. For more information regarding the eCatalog system and PCard Marketplace please click on the corresponding icon below.
The new website provides value with:
- assuring buyers are receiving State of Wisconsin contract pricing;
- access to complete order history, contract spend and detailed reporting;
- adding more contracts and suppliers;
- allowing two types of payment systems: eCatalog for using an ERP requisition and PCard Marketplace for PCards
