About this file

This is a vendor manual for the Electronic Vendor Application of Qualifications (eVAQ) portal, prepared by the California Department of Technology (CDT), Office of Statewide Technology Procurement (OSTP), on behalf of the Department of Conservation (DOC). The manual provides comprehensive instructions for vendors participating in state and local contract opportunities, specifically referencing RFP 25-4-002-1 for the SMARA-4 Project. The final proposal submission deadline and eVAQ approval requirement is January 20, 2026 at 10:00 AM PST, with eVAQ approval identified as a non-negotiable requirement for bid consideration. The eVAQ form contains standardized vendor qualification questions organized across five pages, with each question accompanied by explanatory information buttons for clarification.

The eVAQ portal operates through a ServiceNow-based interface accessible at https://cadtprod.service-now.com/vendor. Vendors must register for an account, which requires STP staff approval before account activation. The form allows vendors to save data at any time, with previously entered information persisting upon subsequent logins. Required forms and attachments can be uploaded via buttons located at the top and bottom of each page. The form cannot be submitted until all questions are completed; incomplete submissions will display error messages highlighting unanswered questions in red. Once submitted, vendors access a revised form view with a comments section for communication with their eVAQ administrator. Inquiries regarding portal usage or technical issues should be directed to enea.antonicelli@state.ca.gov, with responses expected within 48 hours.
