To further increase competition, POM used historical solicitation information, the internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors by phone. Additionally, in an effort to secure more bids, notifications were sent by the POM’s ResourceLINK Team to 25 chambers of commerce, the DFW Minority Business Council and the Women’s Business Council - Southwest, to ensure maximum vendor outreach.
