eVA Mobile 4 Business 1.11

The eVA Mobile application offers users immediate access to procurement opportunities with Virginia state agencies, higher education institutions, local governments, and other public entities within Virginia. These opportunities, known as "solicitations," are publicly posted on Virginia's electronic procurement platform, eVA. The Virginia Business Opportunity (VBO) section of eVA’s website consolidates these listings, providing businesses with a comprehensive source of potential contracts.

The app facilitates swift access to these solicitations directly through mobile devices. It is designed to be both user-friendly and robust, delivering essential information that enables businesses to stay informed about procurement needs within the Virginia government sector. The integrated calendar feature assists users in tracking important dates such as submission deadlines and award announcements, helping to prevent missed opportunities.

Key features include:

• Viewing a chronological list of active solicitations, starting with the most recent postings.
• One-touch access to detailed solicitation information, including attachments and awarding details.
• The ability to save key dates and events—such as deadlines and award dates—to the in-app calendar, which can be synchronized with your device’s native calendar for seamless integration.
• Adding contact information from within the app directly into your device's address book.
• Tracking progress of both current and past solicitations for comprehensive oversight.
• Registered eVA vendors can access their accounts to view solicitations for which they have been invited to bid.
• Vendors may designate solicitations to a 'Watch' list for ongoing updates and follow-up, similar to their desktop experience.
• The “Email It to a Friend” feature enables users to easily share solicitation links via email with colleagues or partners.
• Advanced search functionality allows filtering by keywords, status, executing agency, closing date, and bid category, enhancing the efficiency of opportunity discovery.
