SCOPE:
The purpose of this policy is to establish the responsibility and official procedure for use of state procurement systems and maintenance of bidders lists.
POLICY:
The Department of Administration, State Bureau of Procurement, supports two primary procurement systems for conducting the competitive process and disseminating procurement information.
STAR Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System
State agencies that use STAR to conduct purchasing and procurement functions, including posting and receiving competitive solicitations, do so through the State of Wisconsin eSupplier Portal.
State agencies that do not use the eSupplier Portal, such as the University of Wisconsin System and its campuses, use VendorNet to post competitive solicitations. VendorNet is also used by all agencies to post awarded contract information.
Municipalities may also use VendorNet for posting solicitations with the proper registration credentials.
Vendors must register on the eSupplier Portal to be placed on the state bidders list. When an agency posts requests for bids/proposals using the eSupplier Portal or VendorNet, only those vendors with a valid email address, registered on the eSupplier Portal, will be notified automatically of such solicitations in their designated commodity/service area(s).
