DC Water is moving to the Oracle Cloud ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) on October 5, 2020. DC Water is also migrating to the Oracle Procurement system on October 5, 2020.
The new Oracle Procurement system includes the New Vendor Portal for:
- Vendor Registration
- Search and view new solicitations
- Submit proposal or quote online
- Receive news and notices related to the events and new solicitations
All proposals and quotes for solicitations published in the New Vendor Portal must be submitted online in the New Vendor Portal. Paper or email submissions will not be accepted.
DC Water will continue to maintain the solicitations issued prior to October 5, 2020 in the Old Vendor Portal and these will not be transferred in the New Vendor Portal. Follow the links below to view all current and future opportunities:
For solicitation issued prior to October 5, 2020, visit: Old Vendor Portal
For solicitation issued from October 5, 2020, visit: DC Water Solicitations

The training materials are available below to assist vendors with the transition to the New Vendor Portal.
To assist you with selecting your products and service during the registration, the document below lists all products and services shown in the New Vendor Portal. Please use this document as a guide.
In addition, DC Water will create several practice solicitations for your hands-on experience. Please review above training materials first before practicing.
