Vendor Rotation

Vendor Rotation is used to create a sampling of vendors based on specific criteria. A buyer may be required by law to solicit a certain number of vendors. Some of those may need to be classified as Minority-Owned vendors or Women-owned. Some may need to be recently awarded vendors. The rotation works off of the commodity specified in the Rotation Commodity field. After your selections have been made you can choose the Load Vendor Rotation link, this will add the vendors to the Vendor List tab. Buyers can designate the final vendor list as restricted, limiting responses to selected vendors only, by selecting the Vendor List Restricted Responses check box on the Header. 

A vendor can also be added from a Vendor List Template on the Header, individually selected on the Vendor List topic or added on the Free Form Vendor tab.

The Vendor Rotation tab contains the following actions/links:
