XL EagleSWIFT Supplier Portal (Minnesota SWIFT Supplier Portal)
SWIFT Supplier Portal stands for Minnesota SWIFT Supplier Portal. SWIFT is the State of Minnesota's accounting and procurement system. Its Supplier Portal is where vendors register, keep their information current, view and respond to many state solicitations, and track payments.
State procurement is overseen by the Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement. Minnesota also runs a Targeted Group, Economically Disadvantaged, and Veteran-Owned (TG/ED/VO) small business program that can affect bids.
Why it matters to a small contractor
If you want Minnesota state work, register in the SWIFT Supplier Portal. If you qualify, the TG/ED/VO program may give you a price preference on certain state contracts.
Example
A small electrical contractor registers in the SWIFT Supplier Portal and responds to a state agency solicitation for lighting upgrades. Its TG certification gives it a preference in the price comparison.
