Supplier Information

The success of the CAPsource and MEALsource programs are based, in part, on collaborative relationships with our suppliers and working together to achieve best value for our Members and the patients they serve.

We’re pleased to offer a streamlined process to our supplier community, supported by leading technology partners, MERX and Bonfire.

Posted Opportunities on MERX

We post all opportunities to the MERX e-tendering website, allowing your organization a convenient, secure and fully audited environment where you can download solicitations for CAPsource and MEALsource opportunities. By subscribing to MERX, suppliers can be automatically notified of opportunities that match their business profile and get access to the solicitation documents at the click of a mouse. MERX agents are available from 7:00 a.m. to 8 p.m. (ET) to help suppliers with registration and provide support. They can be reached at 1-800-964-6379.

Convenient Digital Submissions on Bonfire

Bonfire is a web-based tool that allows purchasing teams to receive and evaluate supplier proposals, quotes, and documents digitally, instead of in hardcopy. It allows suppliers to submit their RFP submissions electronically into Bonfire using cloud-based technology. There is no need to print, ship or hand deliver your submissions: Bonfire makes it easy to create and submit your proposals online.

Over 93% of suppliers recommend Bonfire. There is no cost for suppliers to submit and you will receive instant confirmation that your proposal has been received.

We are pleased to provide a simplified RFP submission process to our suppliers as we partner together to provide optimal value to our Members.
