Re: SupplierMarket.com, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (333-31458)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Rule 477(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of

requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission consent to the withdrawal
of its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-31458), together
with all exhibits and amendments thereto (the "Registration Statement"). The
Applicant is requesting such withdrawal because it has been acquired by Ariba,

of the Registrant's common stock have been issued or sold under the Registration
Statement.
If you have any questions with respect to this request, please call the

Very truly yours,
SUPPLIERMARKET.COM, INC.
