About Us
Vision and Mission
One marketplace connecting every business and every government
We build tools to connect both sides of the business-to-government market, so governments can build healthy and prosperous communities through easy access to a large and diverse network of businesses
The DemandStar network gives procurement officers an instant way to connect with more suppliers, post and receive bid responses electronically, and manage quotes, RFP’s, and more.
Who We Are
The original online marketplace
DemandStar pioneered the online marketplace concept in 1998 when a group of procurement professionals in Florida decided that the best way to reach more qualified suppliers was to aggregate their lists so that everyone could get the best products at the best rates.
Since then, we’ve expanded our reach to state and local governments nationwide and continue to connect suppliers with government agencies at a record pace.
What Do We Value?

We are all leaders at every level of the organization. We rise to the occasion. We lift each other up. We think and act like owners and deliver meaningful results.
