The state is stepping up its outreach effort to current and potential vendors as it expands eMaryland Marketplace, an online bidding and purchasing system.
Vendors can bid online rather than the old sealed-envelope way.
So far, electronic encryption replaces the old methods of keeping bids confidential. Once the state has gone through a bidding process, vendors can post an electronic catalog of approved items. State agencies can purchase the items by pointing and clicking, shortening the process of obtaining approvals and issuing purchase orders.
