WASHINGTONVILLE, N.Y., June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Washingtonville Central School District has officially joined the Empire State Purchasing Group, one of Bidnet Direct by SOVRA's regional e-procurement solutions, providing vendors throughout New York state easy online access to its upcoming solicitations. The Washingtonville Central School District invites all vendors to register online at http://www.bidnetdirect.com/new-york/washingtonvillecsd.
The regional purchasing group connects local public agencies with vendors looking to do business with the government. Registered vendors of the Empire State Purchasing Group can gain access to a variety of bid opportunities throughout New York in one easy-to-use location. By posting upcoming bids and RFPs on the Empire State Purchasing Group, the Washingtonville Central School District ensures an entire community of vendors can view their solicitation, download documents, and receive notification of addenda, helping to streamline their procurement process.
"Distributing bids manually made it challenging to reach additional vendors. There would be instances where only a few vendors would submit a proposal and when you are required to have a minimum number in order to go through with the bid process. But with the Empire State Purchasing Group, we're able to post our bids in one spot with all the information associated with that opportunity and the number of vendors we now reach has increased creating the vendor competition we aim for," said Tina Anastos, Accountant of the Washingtonville Central School District when asked why their department decided to join the Empire State Purchasing Group. "It also allows for vendors to see whether or not their pricing is competitive against other businesses and gives them a chance to adjust for future opportunities."
The Washingtonville Central School District invites all local vendors to visit http://www.bidnetdirect.com/new-york/washingtonvillecsd and register to receive access to its upcoming solicitations as well as the upcoming bids and RFPs from over 350 other public agencies participating on the Empire State Purchasing Group. Registered vendors have the option to upgrade their service to receive customized bid alerts, notification of term contract expiration, and notification of a real-time addendum.
