SicommNet's Texas CISV Master Catalog Search System allows State and Local authorized purchasers to key-word search the CISV catalogs that are included in the Texas CISV Master Catalog Search System to quickly find the item or service and the appropriate CISV. This search system streamlines many administrative processes and requirements to increase State and Vendor efficiencies, improve record keeping, allow for smoother execution of an on-line buying process.
Getting Started: First you will need to establish a Texas VID# and CMBL (Centralized Master Bidder List) Listing. Visit the Texas CMBL Information Page for details. Once you have your VID#, click on the 'Vendor Sign Up' link in the Navigation bar on the left. After creating your catalog, you will submit it to the TBPC (Texas Building and Procurement Commission) for approval. More detailed instructions will be available after you create your CISV catalog account.
CISV Catalog Hosting through the SicommNet's CISV Master Catalog Search System
Even though a vendor may wish to use their own web site, or find another service provider, The Texas CISV Master Catalog Search System provides a simple and easy to use web hosting site for vendors to post their CISV Catalog. The State and Local Buyers will still be able to locate all approved CISVs in the CMBL Listings. However, if a vendor uses the Texas CISV Master Catalog Search System hosted site, the purchasers will be able to locate more information about your company and the products you sell quickly and efficiently.
Although membership in the Texas CISV Master Catalog Search Program service is not mandatory, it may greatly increase your ability to do CISV business with any and all state agencies and participating Coop organizations.
