HONOLULU -- (Business Wire)
In November 2017, the Hawaii State Procurement Office (SPO) launched the
Hawaii Awards & Notices Data System (HANDS) at https://hands.ehawaii.gov
. HANDS is comprised of several exciting functions but the most notable
is its robust search functionality. HANDS is designed to make it easier
for vendors to view opportunities from several procurement platforms
through the use of an Application Programming Interface (API). At
launch, the HANDS had already incorporated an API with the State of
Hawaii eProcurement System (HIePRO) with the intention of adding other
systems in the future.
“HANDS has replaced SPO’s old Procurement Awards and Notices System
(PANS). The old PANS system was on multiple applications and will no
longer be supported,” said Sarah Allen, Administrator of the State of
Hawaii Procurement Office. “One of the big things we hope to accomplish
with HANDS is to make available to vendors and the general public a
single place to look for procurement notices,” Allen said.
We are proud to announce that on May 1, 2018, HANDS integrated an API
with the Hawaii electronic Procurement System (HePS). Because of this
implementation HANDS can now display online solicitation and award
notices for the Department of Education (DOE) and University of Hawaii
(UH). This collaboration is a huge step in the right direction for
vendors and the government. HANDS has made it easier for vendors to find
opportunities that would have otherwise been cumbersome to track.
Accessibility to opportunities drives competition. Competition
ultimately saves tax payer money on the goods and services needed by the
government.
The Hawaii State Procurement Office created the Hawaii Awards & Notices
Data System (HANDS) in partnership with Hawaii
Information Consortium, LLC, the official Internet portal manager of
eHawaii.gov.
