Doing Business With DART

To submit a bid or proposal, a supplier must register online with DART. The agency notifies registered suppliers of opportunities based on self-selected commodity codes. Although not a guarantee, adhering to the following steps will help in submitting a competitive bid or proposal:

  • Attend pre-bid or pre-proposal conferences.
  • Review contract solicitations carefully
  • Open doors of opportunity by allowing your certified firm to be utilized toward meeting M/WBE goals.
  • Receive more prime- and sub-contractor opportunities if you are a bona fide disadvantaged, minority- or women-owned business enterprise.
  • Work with a DART-authorized certification agency.
