Dear Vendor:

It just got easier to do business with Stanislaus County. This system will make doing business with the County easier by providing vendors up-to-date information regarding bid requests. Some of the key features and benefits of BidsOnline™ include the ability to:

• Set up and Maintain your own profile as a new or existing vendor.
• Receive automatic e-mail notifications for bid opportunities based on the product/service categories you have selected for your organization.
• Search for all types of requests, addenda, plan holders, bid results, and contract awards at any time.
• Request and download bid/RFP document(s) when available.
• Receive automatic addendum notification as a bid participant.
• Submit electronic bidding, when required, allowing bid responses to be securely submitted on-line.

The County will be conducting all future bid and proposal solicitations on-line through the BidsOnline™ system. The bid line will continue to list only the current opened bids. Once those bids are closed the bid line will only give you the information to register with BidsOnline™. The Stanislaus County Department of Emergency Services will be using the Emergency Operations (EO) module to manage, maintain and retrieve up-to-date information on vendors that provide goods and services in the event of an emergency.

Current Vendors on the BidsOnline™ system:
The County will be sharing its BidsOnline™ portal with the City of Modesto which means that if you have already registered through City of Modesto’s web site, then you do not need to re-register. Please follow these instructions carefully to register. Your login and password will be the same for both sites.
