VBO Electronic Posting and Delivery

and all other information pertinent to your formal
procurement. eVA works for you by automatically
notifying vendors about your opportunity. This posting
area is open to the public and can serve as your public
bid announcement. eVA electronic
posting lets you advertise solicitations, post awards and other
information online. Vendors:

fax, cXML or EDI.
