Doing Business with VDOF

The Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF) advertises Invitations For Bid (IFB), Requests For Proposal (RFP), Timber Sales | Request for Qualitification and Solicitations awarded by DPS on this website.

  • Vendors who wish to do business with VDOF must first register with eVA.
  • If eligible, vendors should also certify with the Department of Minority Business Enterprise as a Small, Women, or Minority Owned Business (SWAM).

Registering with eVA

All vendors wishing to register as a regular bidder must register with eVA to do business with VDOF. eVA is the Internet-based procurement system used by state agencies and institutions.

The eVA Mobile 4 Business app gives businesses immediate access to all bid opportunities and solicitations published on eVA’s public Virginia Business Opportunities (VBO) page. Find the app in the Apple and Android app stores by searching for eVA Mobile 4 Business or use your mobile browser to access the web version at www.eva.virginia.gov/evamobile.

To register, follow these steps:

A registration fee will apply and other fees may be applicable. Basic and premium registration levels are offered. Vendors registered at the premium level will receive an e-mail “push” notification of requirements solicited by state agencies and institutions. In addition, many political subdivisions use eVA as their electronic order and delivery system.

The information submitted on the registration will be used in determining the types of materials, equipment, supplies, or services for which the vendor will receive solicitations. Each purchasing office reserves the right to verify the vendor's capability prior to making an award. It is the responsibility of each vendor to maintain a current and accurate registration account in eVA.

Vendors not registered with eVA who wish to respond to a State Agency solicitation and be considered for an award must register prior to award. All state agencies have access to the eVA Vendor List; however, they are not required to use it.
