Not Just another Bid Service...

WASHINGTON, DC, December 11, 2002, -- Directlink USA, Inc., has created a unique market niche in the State and local Government procurement market. The days of shelling out thousands of dollars to third party bid providers are over.

Directlink USA Inc. has created an inexpensive tool that assists their clients in gaining open and uncomplicated access to State and local purchasing departments. Directlink USA assembles and maintains a database of over 1,950 purchasing departments encompassing: States, Counties, Cities, Universities, K-12, Hospitals and Corporations throughout the US.

Directlink USAs main product is a CD that is a one stop shop for manufacturers, business owners and individual sales professionals to be able to sell their product or service more effectively to the various agencies contained on the CD. Along with the purchasing departments, the CD contains a multitude of easy to use applications such as:

Vendor applications when applicable*
Agencies that provide free bid notification services are noted.
Pre-made mailing labels ready to print out on standard Avery labels.
Sample letter that can be customized to the individual customers article of trade.

For the most part, it is necessary for a company to first become a registered vendor prior to the sale of any goods to an organization," said Linda DeFina, CEO of Directlink USA.

The Myth that Current bid matching services on the market perpetuate, is to create the illusion that they are saving their customers time and money by delivering matching bids to them via email."

The reality is that once you register as a vendor, the majority of the State and local organizations will notify you automatically and free of charge of any matching bid opportunities corresponding to your product. Therefore eliminating the need to pay these third party fees.

Another benefit and perhaps more importantly, is that once a company is registered in an organizations intranet as a preferred vendor- everyone within that organization has the ability to utilize their services. Not every purchase goes through a formal bid process; there are "small dollar purchases" that the buyer has authority to execute without issuing a formal bid.
