Solicitation for Bids
KY AEPA participates in a national competitive bidding process through AEPA (Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies). As a state liaison, KY AEPA connects Kentucky consumers with nationally awarded contracts — meaning all bids are issued and managed through the national hub.
Vendor Registration
Vendors interested in participating in the AEPA bid process can register on the AEPA EUNA Hub (formerly Bonfire). Registration is free and ensures your organization is automatically notified when bid opportunities relevant to your products or services become available. Registered vendors can also submit responses to bids electronically through the platform.
