Step 3

Once you have submitted all materials, check the DAS website regularly for bidding opportunities at: http://bidopportunities.iowa.gov. The View Hosted Bids link will take you to a comprehensive listing of bid opportunities managed by DAS. Below this are links to further opportunities within other areas of state government, including the Department of Transportation and regents institutions.

With so many bidding opportunities and a long list of vendors qualified in a diversity of commodities, it is not possible to notify qualified vendors when new bidding opportunities arise. However, once your company is listed as a vendor, you aren’t required to do anything further than check the bid opportunity listings and respond to those in which you are interested.

NOTE: Anytime a company relocates or expands its services/products, it is the company's responsibility to mail or email the changes to the address in Step #2 above.
