About this file

This is a vendor notification document issued by the State of Delaware's Division of Facilities Management (DFM) announcing a transition to the Bonfire Interactive online bidding portal. The notification applies to DFM and other state agencies including Government Support Services (GSS), the Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS), the Department of Transportation (DelDOT), and the Department of Technology and Information (DTI). Vendors will continue to locate DFM bid opportunities through the existing portal at https://mmp.delaware.gov/Bids/, with specific solicitations indicating whether submissions must be made through the Bonfire portal at http://DFM.bonfirehub.com. All solicitation documents will remain visible in both GSS' MyMarketplace and the Bonfire Portal. Vendors using Bonfire for document receipt and bid submission must register on the portal; in-person bid submissions will not be accepted for online solicitations. Bid submission deadlines and opening dates and times specified in solicitation advertisements must be met for submissions to be considered responsive. Public Works bid openings will continue to occur in person.

Registration and utilization of the Bonfire platform is provided at no cost to vendors, though enhanced registration options may be available for an optional fee. The notification clarifies that online bidding and required paperwork submissions will not apply to all State of Delaware solicitations, requiring vendors to review individual solicitation requirements. Bonfire resources, including vendor registration, password assistance, submission creation and uploading, and instructional videos, are available through the vendor support portal to assist with the transition.

To Our Business Partners/State of Delaware Vendors

The Division of Facilities Management (DFM) has partnered with Bonfire Interactive to improve the online bidding process. DFM will now join Government Support Services (GSS), the Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS), the Department of Transportation (DelDOT), and the Department of Technology and Information (DTI) in accepting online bid submissions through the Bonfire Interactive portal. In preparation for this transition there are a few there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Vendors will continue to find DFM bid opportunities at https://mmp.delaware.gov/Bids/.

• All state solicitations will clearly identify how to submit bid proposals.

• If the solicitation requires submission through the Bonfire portal the solicitation will clearly state this requirement.

When the Bonfire portal is being utilized, and online bid submissions apply, vendors should note:

• Bonfire Portal can be accessed at http://DFM.bonfirehub.com.

• A Bonfire registration affords vendors an additional opportunity to receive email notice(s) when solicitations are available.

• Solicitation documents will be visible in Bonfire just as the documents will remain visible in GSS’ MyMarketplace.

• For solicitations that use Bonfire to receive documents, the Vendor will need to register for the Bonfire portal to submit a bid.

• “In-person” bid/proposal submissions will not be accepted.

• Bid advertisements at GSS’ MyMarketplace and the Bonfire Portal will indicate a bid submission due date and time as well as a bid opening date and time. These dates/times must be met in order for the submission to be considered responsive.

• Public Works Bid Openings will remain in person.

There is NO COST to register with and/or utilize Bonfire. (Bonfire may offer enhanced registration options but vendors are not obligated to pay or select the enhanced registration options.)
