County staff recommend paid BitNet vendor registry to replace phased-out free service

May 5, 2026

Procurement staff told the commission vendor-registry tools have phased out free service and recommended BitNet (1-year $2,500 or 3-year $7,881.25) as a close replacement that integrates with current workflows; commissioners consented to staff's recommendation.

The full story

Procurement/IT staff summarized a review of vendor-registration platforms after the county's previous vendor registry phased out. Staff recommended BitNet as the preferred replacement because it most closely matches the prior user experience and minimizes manual work for county staff; one-year pricing was presented at $2,500 and a three-year option at $7,881.25. Staff said other platforms either charged higher fees or would require manual exporting and re-importing of vendor data, creating double work.
