Bidders may submit questions in writing to the Procurement Officer via the Messages tab in the MFMP Sourcing application by the date listed in the Timeline of Events. Bids must be submitted by the deadline listed in the Timeline of Events. The Department will open the bids in a public meeting. Once the Department has verified the bids, the Department will post an agency decision on the VBS. A non-mandatory Pre-Bid Conference/MFMP training event will be held to discuss how to view and respond to solicitations in MFMP Sourcing. The Non-Mandatory Pre-Bid Conference/MFMP training event will be held at the date and time specified in the Timeline of Events. Attendance is optional but encouraged.
