Suppliers wishing to participate in future procurements with the state must register with AzSPO's new registration system before December 31, 2003. This registration is required to obtain standing as a registered Arizona supplier. Only suppliers who are registered in the new AzSPO SPIRIT registration system are assured of receiving notification of procurement opportunities after January 1, 2004.
To register as an Arizona supplier, visit the Web site. Registration should only take a few minutes. There are no costs to register.
As a part of the registration process, suppliers will automatically be enrolled in AzSPO's new paperless e-procurement system, called SPIRIT. SPIRIT is a secure Internet application that will give suppliers more opportunities to do business with the state and local governments. It will enable companies to create paperless proposals and thereby reduce procurement preparation time and costs. It will improve suppliers' marketing productivity. There are no costs for SPIRIT.
For questions about this notice, e-mail the Procurement Office, or call 602.542.7600.
