The ability to sort results with in-state vendors listed first.
Vendors also benefit from the new service.
GovCommerce.net offers a direct channel to more than 160,000 government buyers, but vendors pay nothing to register and post their products. Also, if a customer wants to buy from a vendor who is not registered, GovCommerce.net will contact the company with a deal already lined up. We only take money when a transaction takes place. The vendors profiles are available online, and they pay a 2 percent transaction fee on any sale.
