About this file

This is a vendor notification document issued by the State of Delaware's Division of Facilities Management (DFM) in partnership with Bonfire Interactive, announcing a transition to an online bidding platform. The notification applies to DFM, 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 at https://mmp.delaware.gov/Bids/, and solicitations will clearly specify submission requirements and whether the Bonfire portal must be used. When Bonfire is utilized for online bid submissions, vendors must register for the portal to submit proposals, and in-person submissions will not be accepted. Bid advertisements will indicate submission due dates and times as well as bid opening dates and times, which must be met for submissions to be considered responsive. Public Works bid openings will remain in-person proceedings.

Registration with and use of the Bonfire portal is provided at no cost to vendors, though Bonfire may offer optional enhanced registration features for which vendors are not obligated to pay. The Bonfire portal can be accessed at http://DFM.bonfirehub.com, and vendors who register will receive email notifications when solicitations become available. Solicitation documents will be visible in both the Bonfire portal and GSS's MyMarketplace. The notification emphasizes that online bidding and required paperwork submissions will not apply to all State of Delaware solicitations, and vendors should review each solicitation carefully to determine submission requirements.

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.)
