Invitation to Bid & Request for Proposal

Vendors who have registered with Public Purchase, with matching commodity codes, will be notified by email when an Invitation to Bid or Request for Proposal (RFP) or other procurement solicitation is issued. Upon receiving a notification email and accessing the solicitation, the vendor should carefully read the entire solicitation and accompanying documents. It is the vendor’s responsibility to obtain all bonds, insurance, and any other requested documents, as outlined in the solicitation.

Pre-bid/pre-proposal conferences may be held to provide vendors with the opportunity to ask questions regarding the solicitation. In these cases, the solicitation will outline the time and place of the conference and indicate if attendance is mandatory to participate in the bid/proposal process.

All responses to solicitations must be submitted online to Public Purchase. A public opening is required for formal, sealed bids. Public bid openings are on the date and time and at the location specified in the bid document. The names of the bidders and the amount of each bid received is revealed. When an RFP closes, only the names of the respondents are revealed; all other information remains confidential until the RFP is awarded.
