Racine County is using DemandStar to distribute automatic solicitation notifications, addendums, award recommendations, etc. to all interested firms.

This service is part of an effort to improve communication with suppliers, streamline and reduce administrative costs. DemandStar is an independent entity and is not an agent or representative of Racine County.

We ask that all vendors register with DemandStar, so that your company is automatically notified of our solicitations in order to access the website where documents are available to download. Documents will also be located on this website for download. If you decide to submit a proposal/bid you will need to register with DemandStar as this will be the only way to submit. To register your company, please go to www.demandstar.com/registration. On the registration form, enter the required information and be sure to select Wisconsin Association for Public Procurement (WAPP) as your Free Agency Registration. This will give you access to all agencies in Wisconsin registered with WAPP members on the DemandStar network.  Although this service is not a mandatory requirement in bidding with Racine County, it is the only way to be notified automatically of solicitations and to submit your proposal/bid.
