BIDS
Bid Information and Distribution System

The Bid Information and Distribution System (BIDS) is a centralized, web-based system through which all state agencies are required to post all bid solicitation documents (i.e., Invitation For Bids, Documented Quotes, Requests For Proposals, Requests For Information, Sole Source Notices, etc.) and bid award notices made under solicitations. Using BIDS, all vendors may view all bid notices on the State's web site and BIDS registered vendors access complete solicitation documents.

Vendors are required to be registered in BIDS to respond to any state agency's solicitation. Registration and viewing of all state agencies' solicitation notices is accomplished at Colorado BIDS for Goods and Services at the State Purchasing Office's web site at www.gssa.state.co.us.

The registration documents and the annual registration fee of $30 are mailed to:

State Purchasing Office
225 E. 16th Avenue, Suite 802
Denver, Colorado 80203.

BIDS Help Desk is (303) 894-2039.
