DEQ supports Virginia's e-commerce through eVA, which is a web-based purchasing system used by Virginia government. State agencies, colleges, universities and many local governments use eVA to announce bid opportunities, invite bidders, receive quotes, and place orders for goods and services.

Please review our policy statement and electronic procurement requirements.

Policy Statement
