SEATTLE, Sept. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Onvia (NASDAQ:
ONVI), the leading provider of sales intelligence and acceleration
technologies for businesses selling to the public sector, today
announced the expansion of its industry-leading coverage of
government spending data.
This data expansion includes government contract leads from the
Rural Health Care Program offered by the Universal Service
Administrative Company (USAC), which are made up of network and
telecom projects that support healthcare facilities in rural areas.
Onvia's data already includes projects from USAC's Schools and
Libraries (E-Rate) program, designed to bring technology to schools
and libraries.
Additionally, coverage of education related government agencies
has been broadened to include leads from public school districts
with at least 500 students.
This significant expansion provides users access to increased
volumes of bidding opportunities including:
- More than 30,000 additional education bids and RFPs - a 58%
increase
- An additional 5,000 healthcare bids and RFPs - a 27%
increase
- Leads from more than 2,000 additional school districts - a 30%
increase
"Onvia has helped us grow our education sales by identifying
relevant USAC E-Rate projects for network and telecom work," said
Nick Coperine, Marketing and Lead
Administrator at Westcon-Comstor. "We're looking forward to
pursuing even more relevant opportunities with Onvia's expanded
USAC datasets for work at healthcare facilities and broadened
coverage of school district opportunities."
"We've earned valuable contracts by targeting projects for
network and telecom identified through Onvia," said Craig Sehi, Vice President at Sehi Computer
Products. "We'll be able to pursue more relevant projects and
increase our wins with Onvia's expanded healthcare and education
datasets."
Increased Data Coverage Builds on Momentum Following Launch
of Onvia 8
The announcement of these expanded sets of data follows the
release of Onvia 8, the company's next-generation sales
intelligence platform designed to enable businesses to manage leads
more quickly and plan their bidding strategies more strategically,
further advancing Onvia's leadership in the business-to-government
marketplace.
At the same time, Onvia continues to improve upon and invest in
its industry-leading coverage of public sector sales leads from
federal, state, local and education government agencies, ensuring
that clients have access to the data they need to grow their sales
to the public sector.
"The recent additions of USAC Rural Health Care bids and
expanded coverage of public school districts will greatly enhance
the value our clients already receive from our public sector sales
intelligence systems," said Naveen
Rajkumar, Onvia Senior VP
& CIO. "We are constantly working on enhancing our data and
technology to provide our customers with the competitive advantage
they need to win more government business."
Providing a Civic Dividend to State, Local and Education
Governments
In Onvia's recent survey of government procurement
professionals, 40% of respondents reported not getting enough
bidders on their projects. This problem is magnified for many
state, local and education (SLED) government agencies located in
smaller communities and rural areas that have a harder time getting
the opportunities in front of eligible bidders.
By adding USAC's Rural Health Care Program bids and expanding
coverage of government contract leads from school districts with
lower enrollment, Onvia is working to solve that problem.
"Every community deserves access to vital services like
technology and healthcare that directly impact peoples' lives,"
said Russ Mann, CEO of Onvia. "Our
expanded coverage of health facilities and public schools will help
highlight opportunities for businesses to partner with government
agencies on projects that benefit smaller, rural areas. More
bidders on these projects lead to higher quality services, at
better value, delivered to the areas that need it most."
