The Northwest Florida Water Management District is excited to announce a partnership with DemandStar for competitive bid solicitations beginning October 1, 2023.

To streamline its bid system and to enhance the integrity of its bid openings, the District is switching to an online service with DemandStar for competitive solicitations issued on or after October 1, 2023. This will simplify the current process and enhance the transparency of all contracts administered by the District.

Beginning October 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023, the District will continue to receive bids using the current method as well as through the new online DemandStar service. However, beginning JANUARY 1, 2024,all bid submissions will be accepted through DemandStar only. This provides three months to ensure a smooth transition.

District bid solicitations will continue to be posted on the District website and the Vendor Information Portal as well as DemandStar.

Current or potential District vendors can join DemandStar for free. Vendors not registered in DemandStar are highly encouraged to register now. Vendors registered in DemandStar will receive automatic email notifications for District solicitations matching your goods or services, and you can submit bids or proposals electronically in DemandStar. No more printing of hard copies and dropping off in person or paying a third-party carrier for delivery will be required. To register, please visit the DemandStar website at: www.demandstar.com/app/registration or click here: DemandStar
