Vendor Notification Document – Delaware Division of Facilities Management and Bonfire Interactive Portal Implementation
This is a vendor notification document issued by the Delaware Division of Facilities Management (DFM) announcing the transition to the Bonfire Interactive portal for online bid submissions, joining 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). The notification clarifies that DFM bid opportunities remain accessible at https://mmp.delaware.gov/Bids/, with solicitation documents visible in both Bonfire and GSS' MyMarketplace. Vendors must register with the Bonfire portal at http://DFM.bonfirehub.com to submit bids for solicitations requiring online submissions. Mandatory pre-bid meetings, bid submission due dates and times, and public bid opening dates and times are specified in individual solicitations and must be met for submissions to be considered responsive. The notification emphasizes that public works bid openings will remain in-person events, and vendors should consult specific solicitation documents to determine submission requirements, as online bidding will not apply to all state solicitations.
There is no cost to register with or utilize the Bonfire portal, though enhanced registration options may be available for purchase at vendors' discretion. The vendor notification provides resources and support materials for portal registration, password creation, submission uploads, and vendor guidance through instructional videos and help articles. The notification does not address specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding requirements, as it serves as a general procedural update rather than a specific solicitation notice. Vendors are directed to consult individual solicitation documents for detailed project specifications, bid security requirements, bonding requirements, and evaluation criteria applicable to particular contract opportunities.

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.)
