HOW TO BECOME A VENDOR

To become a SMART vendor means to participate in the procurement process.  SMART is committed to the concept of full and open competition.  In order to meet this commitment, SMART must bridge the gap between the unique requirements of SMART and the exact suppliers of those requirements.  The identification of discrete suppliers is an ongoing and repetitive process, which must be accomplished quickly and precisely.  

SMART utilizes the The Michigan Inter-governmental Trade Network  to precisely identify suppliers.  The Michigan Inter-governmental Trade Network known as the MITN System is an Internet-based web site where vendors can easily be notified of bid opportunities throughout Michigan. 

Potential business partners simply register with MITN at any time.
