WMATA Supplier Portal The office of Procurement and Materials is dedicated to providing quality goods and services to support WMATA's mission in a professional and ethical manner while striving to exceed customer expectations. The Supplier Portal is designed to conduct business transactions in a secure self-service environment through an internet-based portal for current and potential suppliers. The Supplier Portal will be the single source for all WMATA advertised solicitations. A registered Supplier/Vendor will find the portal a convenient way to access active solicitations, submit bids/proposals/quotes, review Purchase Order (PO) transactions, Acknowledge PO's, provide advance shipment notices, review payments and manage vendor contact information. Account Management WMATA encourages all registered vendors to verify and manage their procurement transaction data. These transactions involve reviewing dispatched and completed purchase orders, order schedule and summary, receipts, invoices issued, payments disbursed and vendor account balances. In addition to viewing transaction data, vendors can view and acknowledge purchase orders that have been dispatched to them. This lets WMATA know if you intend to fulfill them.
