eQuote

Service

eQuote is a free web-based procurement sourcing tool offered by DOAS' State Purchasing for use by all state agencies, departments, boards, bureaus, commissions, institutions and other state entities. eQuote enables state buyers to solicit and receive bids electronically at their desktops by automating the paper intense processes currently being utilized.

Effective March 31, 2008, eQuote may be utilized to solicit bids from vendors registered on the State of Georgia Vendor Registration System up to the agency or college's Delegated Purchasing Authority (DPA). In addition eQuote will provide the option to go beyond the DPA using the same features that the GPR has for getting approved from State Purchasing once the "One Time Request to Exceed DPA form" is approved by SPD.

SPD has developed terms and conditions which apply to solicitations posted to eQuote. These terms and conditions include (1) solicitation terms and conditions or instructions to the vendor and (2) contractual terms and conditions to govern the purchase of the goods and/or services.

To access the eQuote system, a state buyer must be a registered user of the Georgia Procurement Registry (GPR), State Purchasing Bid Posting System. The Agency or University Procurement Officer (APO / UPO) for each entity is responsible for registering new users to the system. Users already registered with the GPR are automatically able to use eQuote.

Please review important policies governing the use of eQuote in the Georgia Procurement Manual. For additional information about eQuote, please e-mail your questions to equote@doas.ga.gov or call the eQuote Help Desk at 404-657-6000.
