What does HJF, HJFMRI, and/or HJFMRI Ltd/Gte look for in a supplier? |
HJF, HJFMRI, and HJFMRI Ltd/Gte look for suppliers with proven experience, a strong and stable history of meeting their commitments, and a strong financial position to assist in meeting our commitments under our contracts, assistance agreements, and other transaction agreements. Note: We do not wish to receive unsolicited information that is or might be proprietary or confidential, therefore do not send information that is proprietary or confidential without having a protective agreement in place. Submit your company’s marketing information in the Supplier Application Form below. |
How can I identify opportunities within HJF, HJFMRI, and/or HJFMRI Ltd/Gte? |
Opportunities do not exist in all areas at all times. Most opportunities will be by invitation to participate in a competitive bid, can come from our Synertrade system, or may be located on this page under available RFPs & RFQs. You can submit your company’s marketing information in the Supplier Application form below. |
A new contract, assistance agreement, or other transaction agreement was just awarded to HJF, HJFMRI and/or HJFMRI Ltd/Gte. How can I learn about opportunities associated with that award? |
There is no unique supplier process for new contract awards. |
Once I submit my company’s marketing information, how long is my information kept on file? |
Complete Supplier Application forms are kept in our database for approximately two years. |
Can I talk with someone about my unique product or service offering? |
Send a message to vendor_mgmt@hjf.org or to one of the Points of Contact located on this page, describing your capabilities and requesting a teleconference. The request will be shared with a subject matter expert, and a call will be scheduled if there is a need for the goods or services in the foreseeable future. |
What is the significance of being a franchised or authorized distributor? |
HJF, HJFMRI, and HJFMRI Ltd/Gte must manage risk appropriately. Therefore we seek guarantees that all components purchased are exactly as specified. We use original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and franchised or authorized distributors whenever possible. Letters from OEMs are required to confirm franchise or authorized distributors relationships. |
How do I invoice if I do not have a purchase order or contract? |
Suppliers should not provide any goods or services without a purchase order or, where appropriate, a contract. Only procurement personnel (buyers, procurement/acquisition officers, subcontract administrators) have the delegation of authority to issue purchase orders and contracts. |
How do I submit an invoice for the goods and services provided to HJF, HJFMRI and/or HJFMRI Ltd/Gte? |
Review the steps in the invoice processing instructions of this page. Ensure that the purchase order/contract number is clearly identified along with the description of the goods and services. |
When will my invoice be paid? |
Once a compliant invoice has been submitted, the invoice will be paid in accordance with the payment terms negotiated between your company and HJF, HJFMRI and/or HJFMRI Ltd/Gte. Payment terms begin upon the receipt of a compliant invoice. |
How do I change my contact/address/bank details? |
This information can be change by accessing Synertrade. Depending on the details you are changing, you may be contacted to provide confirmation and/or supporting documentation. |
I am having difficulties accessing Synertrade to submit a quotation and/or review and sign a contract. Where do I go for assistance? |
Contact the buyer or subcontract administrator who you have been working with after reviewing the manuals located under additional resources on this page. |
