Vendor Registration Help
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in doing business with the State of Delaware.
MyMarketplace offers a free vendor subscription service that lets you opt in to receive alerts when formal procurement opportunities (RFPs, ITBs, RFIs) are published in your areas of interest.
How It Works
During this informative session we will explain:
- Register for free via our subscription portal and select one or more business categories you’d like to track.
- When solicitations matching your selected categories are posted, you’ll receive email notifications.
- Explore all current and past solicitations via the Central Bids Directory.
- For smaller—but still valuable—opportunities, check the Procurement Unit Contacts list for school districts, municipalities, and State agencies, which can help you find under-threshold contracts (those below the formal solicitation thresholds).
Quick Tips
- Register more than one contact at your company to ensure bid notifications are not missed during staff absences or turnover.
- Add and permit emails from “@blackboard.com” and related State notification addresses to help prevent messages from being blocked, filtered, or routed to SPAM/junk folders.
- Keep your vendor profile and contact information current, including email addresses, phone numbers, and commodity codes.
- Select all commodity codes relevant to your products and services to receive the most accurate bid notifications.
- Regularly monitor your email and the Bid Solicitation Directory for new opportunities and updates.
- Review solicitation documents carefully and submit questions before the deadline identified in the solicitation.
- Allow enough time before bid closing to upload and submit responses successfully. Late responses cannot be accepted.
- Visit the Vendor Resources and Procurement Education pages for training, guides, and additional tools to help you do business with the State.
