Questions can be submitted in MFMP Sourcing until the Question Submission Deadline listed in the Timeline of Events. The following quoted text replaces Paragraph 5 of PUR 1001: “Questions must be submitted via the Q&A Board within MFMP Sourcing and must be RECEIVED NO LATER THAN the time and date reflected on the Timeline of Events. Questions shall be answered in accordance with the Timeline of Events. All questions submitted shall be published and answered in a manner that all proposers will be able to view. Proposers shall not contact any other employee of the Buyer or the State for information with respect to this solicitation. Each respondent is responsible for monitoring the Vendor Bid System for new or changing information. The Buyer shall not be bound by any verbal information or by any written information that is not contained in the solicitation documents or formally noticed and issued by the Buyer's contracting personnel. Questions to the Procurement Officer or to any Buyer personnel shall not constitute formal protest of the specifications or of the solicitation, a process addressed in paragraph 20 of these Instructions.” Bidders are strongly encouraged to raise any questions or concerns regarding this ITB, including the proposed Contract terms and conditions, during the open question period.
