Price and vendor lists issued prior to August 2008 are not on HePS.  Agencies continue following the instructions of the particular price/vendor list.  

As new price and vendor lists are solicited they will be placed on HePS as applicable.  Vendors will know at the time of solicitation/award and will be trained.  Departments will be notified and buyers will be trained.  Some lists will be in a catalog, (somewhat like amazon.com).  Buyers will log on to the catalog, place an order and an e-mail will be sent to the vendor. Tghe vendor will send a responding e-mail acknowleging receipt.  Normal procedures will then occur for the vendor to fill the order.

If an SPO solicitation creates a vendor list that requires quotes/proposals to be obtained from vendors on the list,  buyers will utilize HePS and the request will be sent to the vendors on the list.

Note: Solicitations to create statewide price or vendor lists will be conducted on HePS.
