Welcome to the Corcraft supplier bid system.

Welcome to the Division of Industries (Corcraft) and our Online Supplier Bid System.  There is no subscription fee to access this web page or to register for automatic e-mail bid notifications.  This is the place to be if you are a vendor who is interested in supplying us with our needed commodities, services and technology contracts, thereby allowing Corcraft to maintain and sustain our mission of employing inmates within the Correctional Industries workshops around the State.

Corcraft will be using this website to announce all current Central Office bid opportunities, allow vendors to register for automatic e-mail of bid notifications, as well as browse/search for Invitation for Bids (IFB) and Contract Awards.  Vendors will also be able to view current bids available by bid opening date (known as a bid calendar). 

This system enables us to expand our reach to potential bidders while at the same time, saving time and natural resources by eliminating our paper-based mailings.  If your company does not have an active e-mail address available, you are welcome to send a request for paper copy of a specific bid(s) of interest to the attention of the Corcraft Purchasing Team via fax at: 518/434-7434 or U.S. mail.

Bid opportunities posted at this website are simultaneously advertised in the “New York State Contract Reporter” publication, which is issued by the New York State Department of Economic Development.  There is, however, a subscription fee to receive this publication.  All interested vendors may subscribe online by clicking on the following link, http://www.nyscr.org

You may view the bids online or download them onto your own computer.  If you are interested in submitting a bid, simply print a copy of the bid, complete the bid documents as required and mail/fax it to us.  Electronic submissions of bids are not yet acceptable in New York State.

One of the exciting features of this system is our free registration process.  By registering, vendors will receive e-mail notifications of bids when they are released.  It is very easy to use and everything you need to do appears on just one web page.  After you click on the “Register for bid notifications” link to the left of this page, just follow these easy steps:

1. Select/click on as many of the “Bid Category” items that you are interested in receiving bid notifications.  Scroll down the list of commodities/services available for bid.
2. Provide us with your E-Mail address (of the person from your company that is designated to receive the bid notifications), Company Name, complete address and phone number.
3. A confirmation page will appear for verification of information before registration is submitted.  Once you are registered, you can change your settings, or cancel bid notifications, at any time by clicking on the link within any notification e-mail you receive.

All bid documents are available for general public viewing whether you are registered or not; but by registering, you are ensured of receiving automatic announcements of the bid opportunities.
