About this file
This is a vendor notification document issued by the Division of Facilities Management (DFM) of the State of Delaware regarding the implementation of the Bonfire Interactive portal for online bid submissions. The notification informs vendors that DFM has partnered with Bonfire Interactive to streamline its bidding process, joining other Delaware 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 platform at https://mmp.delaware.gov/Bids/, and all state solicitations will clearly specify the required submission method. When Bonfire is utilized for submissions, vendors must register on the Bonfire portal at http://DFM.bonfirehub.com to submit bids, and all submissions must meet specified due dates and times to be considered responsive. The notification emphasizes that online bidding requirements will not apply to all State of Delaware solicitations, and that public works bid openings will continue to be held in person.
Registration and use of the Bonfire portal is available at no cost to vendors, though enhanced registration options may be available for purchase. The document provides guidance on accessing the Bonfire portal, completing vendor registration, resolving password creation errors, and uploading submissions, with supplementary video resources available through Bonfire's vendor support system. In-person bid submissions will not be accepted for solicitations utilizing the Bonfire platform. Bid advertisements on both GSS' MyMarketplace and the Bonfire Portal will clearly indicate submission deadlines and times as well as bid opening dates and times, which vendors must adhere to for their submissions to be deemed responsive.

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:

• 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.

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.)
