   • Commodity

     Click on a State of Wisconsin, Bureau of Procurement commodity class (e.g., DATA PROCESSING HARDWARE, SOFTWARE AND SUPPLIES) to view the list of commodity groups in that class. Click on a group (e.g., INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICES; MISCELLANEOUS).

     Select either All Vendors Registered for Commodity Group to return a list of all registered vendors in a group, or Narrow Search Down by Region to view a list of Wisconsin regions which can be used to narrow the registered vendor search to a particular area.

   • Commodity Keyword

     Enter a keyword in the text box and click on search. VendorNet will return a list of commodity code numbers with the related description. Select the appropriate commodity code by clicking on the corresponding radio button and click on continue (multiple selections can be made), located at the bottom of the screen. VendorNet will return a list of vendors.

   • Company Name

     Click on the letter corresponding to the first letter of the company's name. VendorNet will return a list of vendors whose name begins with that letter.

     If you know the name of the company you would like to find, enter the name in the text box and click on the Display Company button. If a company name starts with "The" it will be necessary to enter "The" first.

     The system will also allow you to enter only part of the company name, (i.e., Sta). Entering a percent sign (%) followed by characters (i.e. %city) will display all companies with those characters in their name.

   • Contact Name

     Click on the letter corresponding to the first letter of the contact's last name. VendorNet will return a list of vendor contacts whose last name begins with that letter.

     If you know the last name of the contact you would like to find, enter the name in the text box and click on the Display Contact button.

     The system will also allow you to enter only part of the contact's last name, (i.e., Smi). Entering % followed by characters (i.e. %son) will display all vendor contacts with those characters in their last name.

   • Contract Number

     If you know the agency contract number assigned to a particular contract, enter it in the text box and click on the Search button.

     VendorNet will return the list of vendors associated with that contract.
