Event Navigation

NJSTART is as self-service online platform that allows vendors to manage forms, certifications, submit proposals, access training manuals, reference guides and receive email alerts on upcoming procurement opportunities.

There are several key advantages to the new system, but increased visibility is certainly a big one.

When your business is included in this new online directory, buyers in state and local agencies can easily see what you have to offer.  And it will be easier for you to find other small businesses that may be interested in joining forces on larger proposals.

Join us at this FREE seminar to learn more about this new system.
