WORKING WITH FHC

The Flint Housing Commission has plenty of opportunities for vendors to bid on. Our online procurement system has information about all outstanding bids. We look forward to working with you!

New Electronic Procurement System

The FHC Department of Procurement Services is pleased to announce its new Electronic Procurement System. This new system utilizes a more efficient process that will enable us to better document communication between the Flint Housing Commission and vendors.

Working with FHC

If your company already exists in the system, you will need to follow instructions to sign up as a salesperson for your company. If the company is not in the system yet, you will be able to register it. Basic registration is free. There is no cost to receive solicitations from our agency through the Housing Agency Marketplace.

The following instructions are to be used on the eProcurement Portal.

1. Click the button, “View Open Bids”. Click on “Register Your Company” and enter your company name and click on “Search Companies”.

2. If no company was found, click on “Click here to create a new one”. If your company was found, follow the instructions to sign up as a salesperson for your company. Once you submit, the contact person who had signed up previously for your company will verify your information. You will then be emailed a password.

3. Fill out all required fields with information about your company on the first page, and check off all commodity/service codes on the next page. Be sure to check either “None” on the MWBE Classification, or all boxes that apply to your company unless it states “Optional”.

Click Submit once you receive a “Thank you for registering” page, and click on “Continue”. Click the blue log-in button located in the upper left-hand area.

4. Enter your email address and password to enter our marketplace. You will be prompted to check a site usage agreement before entering our Marketplace. Once you check this box and click submit, you will then be allowed to enter.

5. If our Housing Authority comes up when you enter our marketplace, click on the request and follow the instructions. If you enter on any other page, click on scan requests by the agency on the left-hand menu area, locate, and click on our Housing Authority.

From there you will be able to view any live bids along with directions to download documents and instructions on how to submit your response.
