XL EagleCOMMBUYS (Massachusetts COMMBUYS)
COMMBUYS stands for Massachusetts COMMBUYS. COMMBUYS is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' online procurement system, managed by the Operational Services Division. State agencies post solicitations there, and statewide contracts are listed there for agencies, municipalities, and other eligible buyers.
Vendors register to receive bid notices and submit electronic quotes. Some bids require acknowledging terms or forms before you can submit, so walk through each bid's requirements early.

Example
