There is none. Vendors or offerors are fully responsible for their bids or proposals, including getting them to the State Purchasing Division, up until the point that the bid or proposal is presented to us for receipt. If your delivery person (including a member of your staff or your selected express mail delivery service) fails to deliver a bid or proposal before the receipt deadline, the full responsibility falls on the vendor or offeror. A bid or proposal received at 2:01, in response to a 2:00 deadline, will be considered non-responsive and will not be eligible for consideration. Vendors and offerors are encouraged to submit their responses at least one day early to insure against unforeseen delivery issues such as weather or traffic problems.

Under our new online vendor registration system, the State Purchasing Division does not require a vendor number. For your Vendor number information through the States Financial System you can contact the Department of Finance and Administration.
