One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for determining a list of providers of a commodity. During operation, the system receives a description of the commodity from a customer at a server. Then, the system uses the description to identify a list of providers of the commodity. Next, the system receives a specification of a set of desired provider-traits from the customer. The system then filters the list of providers of the commodity based on the desired provider-traits to obtain a filtered list of providers of the commodity. Finally, the system presents the filtered list of providers to the customer.
