How To Engage
VentureWell manages commercialization support services across a number of initiatives. The list above indicates a subset of the services we provide through contracting with vendors, consultants, and service providers. Based on program needs, opportunities are hosted on two different platforms for 1) Blueprint programs and 2) RADx® programs.
We encourage vendors, consultants, and service providers with relevant expertise to review opportunities with both programs below.
Opportunities With Blueprint MedTech
Register as a vendor in the VentureWell Community.
Apply to current opportunities on the Open Opportunities Page.
Opportunities With RADx® Tech
- Requests for Qualifications (RFQs): We are currently seeking Project Facilitator, Team Lead, and Content Expert vendors and consultants to submit a proposal to be evaluated for our qualified pool. These requests for qualifications are open to both vendors and consultants. RFQs may result in one or more awards at a later point in time. Proposers who are accepted into the qualified source list may be contacted for additional questions or may be extended an offer should a scope of work arise that meets their area of expertise.
- Register and Submit to Current Opportunities in the RADx® Procurement Portal:
- Register as a vendor by clicking the “Register” button in the top right corner of your screen. Here you can create your free Bonfire account, which will allow you to submit to any of our open opportunities. During the registration process, select as many Commodity Codes (internationally recognized reference numbers that describe goods and services) as fit the scope of work you do, or that you would like to receive notifications for. By entering these codes, you ensure you will receive a notification when new solicitations are opened under these areas.
- If you are already registered, log in in the top right corner of the screen. Then select the proposal you would like to apply to by clicking on the “View Opportunity” button. Select “Yes,” indicating that you intend to bid to the opportunity, and hit “Submit.” The screen will refresh and show a button to “Prepare your submission.” Follow the steps provided to ensure you have the required documentation. Once the steps are completed, select “Submit and finalize my submission.”
