Connecting government and business in the New Economy
Spending by federal, state and local governments now accounts for one-half of every dollar spent in America – equivalent to $5.5 trillion, or half the nation’s Gross Domestic Product. So it’s more important than ever for private-sector companies to understand how to do business with government agencies like yours.
Onvia brings government and business together in this unprecedented “gBusiness” marketplace.
We help our clients compete effectively and successfully for government contracts by providing them with all the information they need to respond promptly and professionally to bids and RFPs.
These companies use our state-of-the-art online procurement-notification and database services to get daily reports of the latest contracting opportunities in their respective industries, as well as to download proposal documents, identify key agency contacts, locate subcontracting opportunities, and get advance notice of future procurements.
And we help government agencies by creating better-informed, more responsive, and more qualified potential contractors. Our products and services can generate more bidders for each project, along with higher-quality proposals and more competitive, budget-friendly pricing.
We also offer an online service designed specifically for agencies – Onvia DemandStar – that lets them bring procurement into the Digital Age. With DemandStar, you can implement and manage the entire procurement process electronically.
You can automatically notify vendors of bids and RFPs, distribute bid documents for download and confirm their receipt by vendors, track all vendor bid activity, receive vendors’ proposals and quotes, evaluate the quotes, and notify vendors of awards – all online, and all free of charge. (The vendors who use DemandStar to receive project bid notifications, download documents and submit proposals online pay nominal fees for these services.)
More than 400 agencies across the U.S. are on the DemandStar system. To join them in the 21st century of procurement, call 800-331-5337.
