Marketing Your Products or Services
Prospective suppliers are encouraged to send a catalog, line card, or other listing of products/services offered. Due to the large number of vendors listed on some categories it is not possible to allow vendors to bid on everything that is solicited by the Contracting and Purchasing Dept. It's our intention to make the selection process as fair as possible. If you decide to bid, we cannot help you prepare your bid. We can, answer questions to help you better understand what is required.

Notice: The bid solicitations publicized on this web site are for purposes of sharing information with the public and may be subject to change by MHA. Please follow all instructions, specifications and the scope of work from the bid packages. It is the responsibility of the bidder to ensure that it has obtained all such changes by checking the document folder periodically on the website and before you submit a bid or proposal. Bids offered must be submitted on MHA forms.
