RFPs and BIDs

Bids and RFPs | Online via Oracle Sourcing/Procurement Application

THE SPS DOES NOT ACCEPT BID SUBMISSION VIA EMAIL, MAIL OR IN-PERSON. ONLY REGISTERED SUPPLIERS WITH A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS CAN PARTICIPATE IN ALL BIDS AND RFPS.

THE BACKGROUND: Since March of 2023, the SPS has migrated all financial and purchasing processes to our new Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP system and started conducting our solicitation online. Only registered supplier with a valid email address and a contact name (Contact Admin) can participate. If you'd like to know if your company is already a Spend Authorized supplier, please contact either: Vivens Joachim, Erik Larson, Jeanie Valentine, or Kristopher Bottoni, and provide your company's name and Tax ID. Try not to register your company multiply times. As an already registered supplier, you can log in via the same link below or here. You'll enter your email address (user ID) and your passcode. If you forget your log in credentials, either Vivens or Erik can help to reset that for you. New suppliers will need their company's W9 form, a remittance address, a mailing address (if different from the remit-to address), a contact administrator with an email address to register. Please register via the link below:

Once registered, a supplier can log in (username = email address; password = your easy to remember choice. For instance, user: johndoe@abc.com; passcode: 123456SPS) to see all our Solicitation documents and requirements. There should be confirmation emails to verify your identity and information. That's typical and please check your spammed folder as emails will be generated by Oracle. For your convenience, we have attached a Guide to help you to navigate our solicitation platform, and to give you a quick how-to-respond refresher:  Click Here.

All bid/RFP proposals submitted by their due dates will be reviewed, scored and awarded by a SPS Collaboration Team. All results, bid tabulations, and Bids/RFPs documents will be available to see online via our Negotiations/Abstracts page below:
