About this file
This is a Vendor Manual for the Electronic Vendor Application of Qualifications (eVAQ) portal, published by the State of California in February 2021. The manual provides comprehensive guidance for vendors participating in state and local contract opportunities, specifically addressing the eVAQ application process for the Department of Cannabis Control's Request for Proposal 2025-002 seeking a Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) and Implementation Services for the Laboratory Information Management System Replacement project. The bid due date for this solicitation is March 11, 2026. The manual outlines the vendor registration and login procedures, form completion requirements across five pages, and the submission process through the eVAQ portal accessible at https://cadtprod.service-now.com/vendor. Vendors must complete all required fields before submission; incomplete applications will generate error notifications identifying unanswered questions marked in red.
The eVAQ form allows vendors to save progress at any time, with data persisting upon subsequent login sessions. The portal accommodates attachment uploads of required supporting documents through buttons positioned at the top and bottom of each form page, with a "Show Attached Files" feature for managing submitted documentation. After form submission, vendors gain access to a comments section within the ServiceNow interface to communicate with their eVAQ administrator. For technical support or portal issues, vendors should contact enea.antonicelli@state.ca.gov, with a guaranteed response time of 48 hours. The manual contains no pricing information, set-asides, funding requirements, or other contract-specific financial terms, as it functions solely as an instructional guide for portal navigation and application procedures.

The empty space on the right of the buttons is reserved for when you save or submit an eVAQ.
It ends up looking like the screenshot below when a record has either been saved (open) or submitted (submitted).
The key on the right explains the three possible states.
The eVAQ number field can be clicked on, and it will take you to your saved, submitted, or accepted eVAQ.
eVAQ Form The eVAQ form provides the vendor with the same questions that used to be on the traditional PDF form. They are split into 5 pages.
Each question has an info button on the right which expands the explanation for that question.
Adding and saving attachments
Required forms can be located on the “Required Forms” tab:
The form has an attachment button at the top and bottom of each page for ease of access.
The data on the form can be saved at any time. If a record is saved, when you log back in, the data you entered last will persist.
If you attach documents and save the form, the show attached files button will be displayed.
This button, when expanded, will show a list of everything that has already been attached. It can be maximized and minimized at any time to keep the list neatly tucked away.
Submitting the form
The form cannot be submitted until all questions are answered. If you attempt to submit without filling everything out, you will receive an error and the questions that still need to be filled out will turn red. You will need to navigate to the various pages and ensure all the red questions have been answered:
Once you submit the form, you will be taken to the main splash page where you can see the newly submitted record. Clicking this record will take you to a different form view in ServiceNow which gives you access to the comments section towards the bottom of the form:
You will utilize this area to interact with your eVAQ administrator.
