This page contains information and tools that EPA uses to advertise potential business opportunities and find vendors to support EPA’s mission requirements.

• EPA Laboratory Supplies Purchasing Program - EPA is using the Reverse Auction approach for all Laboratory Supplies purchases across the agency.  This approach has been shown to maximize the opportunities for more Lab Supplies vendors to support the EPA.  The main Reverse Auction commercial platform being used and available to all vendors is through Unison.  Any vendors interested in participating in the program should visit the previous link and reach out to the team at marketplacesupport@unisonglobal.com.
