4.0 Interested Vendors Module

The FedBizOpps system includes the capability to join and view a published list of vendors interested in a particular solicitation. This is useful for vendors who are interested in teaming on procurement opportunities. In order to register as an interested vendor for a particular solicitation, the "Register as Interested Vendor" button must be available from the listing page for a solicitation. If the contracting officer has not enabled this service for this solicitation number, then the "Register as Interested Vendor" button will not be available. In this case, you will need to contact the point of contact listed in the synopsis for information regarding the bidder's list.

Figure 32: Listing Page

To register as an interested vendor for a particular solicitation, click on "Register as Interested Vendor" from the listing page of a procurement opportunity.

Figure 33: Interested Vendor Registration Form

Fill out the registration form, and click on "Register as Interested Vendor". You will receive a confirmation screen verifying that you are registered as an interested vendor for this solicitation. The information you submit on the registration form will be forwarded to the contracting officer responsible for that procurement notice.

Privacy Act Routine Uses (5 USC § 522a as amended): Disclosure (or providing) the requested information is “voluntary". This information may be used by the Contracting Officers to develop and publish interested vendor listings (IVL's). By providing the requested information, the individual Vendor assumes all responsibilities for ensuring that the information provided is correct and valid and is so maintained throughout the life of the Interested Vendors Listing.

Please be advised that if the contracting officer publishes the list of interested vendors, all of the information you supply in the registration form (company name, contact information, etc.) will be published on the FedBizOpps site.

Once the contracting officer has published the list, you will be able to view a list of interested vendors by clicking on the "View List of Interested Vendors" link. If this link is not available, and you are interested in obtaining information on other vendors interested in this notice, you will need to contact the POC listed in the synopsis.

Please Note: The Interested Vendors Module is not related to the GSA Schedule Program nor does it commit you to bidding on the opportunity. It merely informs the contracting officer that you may be interested in bidding on the opportunity.
