CMAS Search Help

Basic Search Screen Help

Step 1:

Identify your search criteria by clicking on the appropriate radial button. You may search by Product/Service description or by the Contractor Name. Product/Service codes are the very general marketing descriptions a CMAS contractor uses to identify the contents of their contract.

Step 2:

Enter either the Product/Service Description, Keyword or Contractor Name depending on the criteria selected in Step 1. You may use complete phrases, multiple terms, or even part of a word (Micro will get more “hits” than Microsoft). You may view a list of all CMAS Product/Service descriptions by clicking on View Codes.

View Codes:

This is a list of CMAS Product/Service Descriptions and Categories. A CMAS Contractor chooses a maximum of 12 of these descriptions to identify the contents of their contract. Use these descriptions as search criteria in Step 2 when searching for a contract which provides for a particular type of product or service.

Step 3:

You may narrow a search by identifying if you want a list of CMAS contractors that are certified as Small Business Enterprises (SB) or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE). You may click one or both. Your search results will include only (SB) and/or (DVBE) contracts, according to your selection. If you don’t select either option, your search results will include all businesses meeting your search criteria, regardless of size or ownership..

Step 4:

Clicking on the “SEARCH” button executes your search.
