Online Reverse Auction Services (Statewide)

The Online Reverse Auction Services Statewide Centralized Contract provides authorized users with access to competitive bidding mechanisms designed to obtain pricing and achieve cost savings across a broad range of procurements. This vehicle facilitates reverse auction events in which government entities submit requests for proposals and qualified suppliers place competitive bids, with awards based on lowest-price selection. The contract supports both on-site and remote auction management capabilities and offers multiple pricing structures, including standard reverse auctions, percentage-off arrangements, and fixed-amount discount models. Notably, this contract is structured exclusively for facilitated reverse auction services and does not include self-service auction capabilities where authorized users independently manage auctions through contractor-supplied software or online platforms.

This statewide contract encompasses three prime contractors: EASiBuy, LLC (Nashville, Tennessee); eBridge Business Solutions, LLC (Louisville, Kentucky); and Vista Auctions, LLC d/b/a Procurex (Erie, Pennsylvania). The contract is administered by the New York State Office of General Services and is available to all New York State agencies, political subdivisions, local governments, public authorities, public school and fire districts, public and nonprofit libraries, and eligible nonprofit organizations throughout New York. The performance period runs from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2030, under a fixed-price contract type. The auction fees are structured as percentage rates or flat fees paid directly by awarded suppliers rather than by government entities, and the contract carries no minority-owned, women-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned business enterprise goals.
