Vendor Information Portal -  To do business with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, a vendor must first register using the vendor information portal. Registered vendors can use this system to receive information on upcoming solicitations, post information on products and services, and receive purchase orders electronically.

Please note this system is managed by the Florida Department of Management Services (DMS). All questions concerning VIP should be directed to DMS.

MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) – MFMP is Florida's online procurement system and is used for interactions between vendors and state government entities that purchase goods and services.

Vendor Bid System (VBS) – This system provides access to all bid solicitations including Invitations to Bid (ITB), Requests for Proposals (RFP), Invitations to Negotiate (ITN), etc. Registered vendors can request email notifications as well as view current bid advertisements online.
