Welcome to the

Marketplace Program Your Guide to Getting

Started

NJSTART: Powered by Periscope

Welcome to the NJSTART Marketplace!

A message from our partners at Periscope NJSTART was developed in partnership with Periscope, powered by mdf commerce* to streamline the process of selling to New Jersey governments. It is both a technology system and cooperative purchasing program. The State of New Jersey is trusting us to manage the Marketplace for both New Jersey agencies as well as vendors such as yourself.

We strive to work with vendors that have fully-executed contracts with the State of New Jersey to maximize their contract sales and meet their business goals, regardless of size or scope.

Let’s get started!

6 Steps to Success After your contract is awarded, these 6 simple steps will ensure your participation in NJSTART is as successful as possible. Throughout this document, we cover a few of these steps in more detail to help you get the most out of your state contract.

Orders from State Agencies are sent to you immediately, directly through the site.

*Periscope, powered by mdf commerce, is the developer and implementer of the ePro eProcurement system (currently branded as NJSTART in New Jersey). Periscope manages the NJSTART Marketplace Program with a dedicated account management team in conjunction with the State of New Jersey. mdf commerce, Periscope’s parent company, is a leader in North American eProcurement.

Loading Your Company Profile and Catalog Whether you are selling goods or services, your catalog in Marketplace is how you present your business to government buyers, so it is essential to spend time ensuring it is as compelling and accurate as possible.

A Few Tips: To make sure buyers can find your contract and know how best to engage you, make sure your catalog is populated with key search terms, rich descriptions of goods and/ or services provided, and critical information for the buyer.

Another way to make your catalog more compelling is to include images for each item you want to represent on your contract. See below for an example:

Incomplete Marketplace Catalog

• Content missing images

• Harder for local agencies to find your contracted line items

Complete Marketplace Catalog

• All content uploaded

• Better purchasing experience for local agencies

Convenience Fee & Quarterly Reporting A mandatory 1% convenience fee is applied to all purchases from your state contracts. A new regulation effective as of September 6, 2022, extends the mandatory fee to contracted suppliers for applicable State contracts.

Convenience fees to fund procurement operations, cooperative programs, and systems are common across the U.S. These fees are a way to improve services to the supplier community and the state.

Participating State contract suppliers are required to report their net sales on a quarterly basis and pay their convenience fee directly through NJSTART via our Reconciler tool, the easy-to-use online reporting tool.
