About this file

This is a vendor notification document issued by the State of Delaware's Division of Facilities Management (DFM) regarding the implementation of the Bonfire Interactive platform for online bid submissions. 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). The document clarifies that vendors will continue to locate DFM bid opportunities at the existing MyMarketplace portal (https://mmp.delaware.gov/Bids/), and all state solicitations will explicitly identify the required submission method. For solicitations utilizing the Bonfire portal, vendors must register to submit bids; however, in-person bid submissions will not be accepted for online solicitations. Bid submissions must meet specified due dates and times to be considered responsive, and public works bid openings will continue to be conducted in person.

Registration with Bonfire Interactive is available at no cost to vendors at http://DFM.bonfirehub.com, with support resources provided for vendor registration, password creation, submission uploads, and video tutorials. The notification emphasizes that enhanced registration options offered by Bonfire may involve optional fees, but vendors are not required to select these upgrades. The document clarifies that online bidding requirements will not apply uniformly to all State of Delaware solicitations, and individual solicitation documents will specify whether Bonfire submission is required. Solicitation advertisements will display both bid submission and bid opening dates and times across both MyMarketplace and the Bonfire Portal.

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.)

Bonfire resources:

• Bonfire Portal to view DFM opportunities https://DFM.bonfirehub.com
