As a new
client with Prime Vendor you will receive email notification
when you have bids and solicitations available in your Prime
Vendor system. The e-mail notification will be sent once per
day, although bid documents will be added to your system throughout
the day. You may want to check this frequently. You may also
request that we automatically send these bids to your e-mail
account. To view these bids you must login to your Vendor Portal.
Step

We have
provided a quick link to access government bid opportunities.
The message will read "view solicitations", followed
by two blue buttons State and Local or Federal.
Select any button to access these bid opportunities.
If you select
The State and Local button the program will display your
State and Local bids (See Image 3). In the black bar above the
listings is the number of bids listed and a print button that
if selected will print a copy of the complete bid listing. Each
listing displays the title of the bid, the bid number, the bid's
due date and the file name of the bid. Each listing also comes
with three options. Select Delete to get rid of unwanted
bids, View will open the bid file on your screen and
Save will store the bid file on your computer.

screen. Select Federal Markets, and then Federal EDI.
EDI solicitations must be done online. Please select the EDI
