Where can I find government bids and RFPs in Schenectady?

Do I register with Schenectady or with New York?

Choose the registration process for the agency issuing the opportunity. The New York State Contract Reporter publishes procurement notices from state agencies, public authorities and public benefit corporations. Its account tools support opportunity profiles and alerts for selected categories and changes to advertisements. New York's guide says municipalities and local governments may post in the Contract Reporter but are not required to do so. Check local agency sites and their registration and submission requirements separately. For city, county or school bids around Schenectady, check that buyer’s own instructions before creating an account.

New York supplier starting points:
1. Register for a Contract Reporter account to access procurement notices.
2. Set up an opportunities profile with relevant categories and filters for eAlert notifications.
3. Review the advertisement and its documents, and select change notifications for opportunities you are following.
