Marketplace & Vendor Terms
Last updated at launch preparation.
1. Marketplace role
GrantGuard operates a directory and solicitation platform. GrantGuard is not a party to any contract between a buying organization and a vendor, does not guarantee awards, and does not guarantee volume of opportunities.
2. Vendor profile accuracy
Vendors are responsible for the accuracy of their business information, registrations, identifiers, certifications, insurance and licensing evidence. A marketplace profile does not mean a vendor satisfies any particular organization's procurement requirements.
3. No verification claim
GrantGuard does not perform live government verification and does not represent any vendor as government approved, debarment cleared, or eligible for federal awards. Buying organizations perform and record their own responsibility and eligibility review.
4. Solicitations and responses
Vendors may only access solicitations they are invited to or that are published for open response. Sealed pricing remains confidential until the configured deadline. Response content may be shared with the buying organization's evaluators and retained as part of the procurement record.
5. Paid vendor plans
Paid vendor plans provide profile, alerting, template and analytics tooling only. Paid status never improves a vendor's formal procurement evaluation score, ranking or award likelihood.
6. Conduct
Vendors must not attempt to influence evaluators outside the documented solicitation process, misrepresent qualifications, or submit responses on behalf of an excluded party.
