Bidder Registration
Registering your company with the State of Indiana Department of Administration is a requirement for bidding on state procurement contracts. In addition to enabling the submission of bids on state projects, registered businesses:
- Receive solicitation notifications from the State of Indiana,
- Are listed on the Buy Indiana Directory, and
- Receive a registration number for the MWBE/Disadvantaged certification process.
State of Indiana solicitation opportunities released by the IDOA Procurement Division, including Invitations to Bid and Requests for Proposals, are sent via e-mail and published in specific newspapers. Solicitation packages will continue to be posted for download on our website.
Request for Quotation (small purchase) solicitations will not be advertised, so you may wish to contact the individual agency(s) that may be interested in your type of business offering.
