The Polk State College Foundation has officially joined the Florida Purchasing Group, one of Bidnet Direct’s regional e-procurement solutions, providing vendors throughout Florida easy online access to its upcoming solicitations. The Polk State College Foundation invites all vendors to register online at www.bidnetdirect.com/florida/polkstatecollegefoundation.
The regional purchasing group connects local public agencies with vendors looking to do business with the government. Registered vendors of the Florida Purchasing Group can gain access to a variety of bid opportunities throughout Florida in one easy-to-use location. By posting upcoming bids and RFPs on the Florida Purchasing Group, the Polk State College Foundation ensures an entire community of vendors can view their solicitation, download documents, and receive notification of addenda, helping to streamline their procurement process.
“Through the Florida Purchasing Group we now have more vendors submitting bids for our items or services. The more bids we get, the better the chances are that we will be able to get fair pricing and reliable work from our vendors. Participating with the Florida Purchasing Group allows us to post our bids and reach more vendors, which then creates more competition for the bid process,” said Morgan Jacobson, Director of Operations & Alumni Affairs of the Polk State College Foundation when asked why their department decided to join the Florida Purchasing Group.
The Polk State College Foundation invites all local vendors to visit www.bidnetdirect.com/florida/polkstatecollegefoundation and register to receive access to its upcoming solicitations as well as the upcoming bids and RFPs from 64 other public agencies participating on the Florida Purchasing Group. Registered vendors have the option to upgrade their service to receive customized bid alerts, notification of term contract expiration, and notification of a real-time addendum.
