About this file

This is a vendor notification document issued by the State of Delaware's Division of Facilities Management (DFM) in coordination with multiple 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 announces the transition to the Bonfire Interactive portal for online bid submissions. Vendors will continue to access DFM bid opportunities through https://mmp.delaware.gov/Bids/, and solicitation documents will indicate whether submissions must be made through the Bonfire portal. The Bonfire portal can be accessed at http://DFM.bonfirehub.com. Vendors must register with Bonfire to submit bids for solicitations utilizing the portal; in-person bid submissions will not be accepted for online solicitations. Bid submission deadlines and opening dates and times must be strictly met for submissions to be considered responsive. Public Works bid openings will remain in-person events.

Registration with and use of the Bonfire portal incurs no cost to vendors, though Bonfire may offer optional enhanced registration features for which vendors are not obligated to pay. The notification includes links to Bonfire resources covering vendor registration, password creation, submission processes, and instructional videos. The document clarifies that online bidding requirements and associated paperwork submissions will not apply to all State of Delaware solicitations, and vendors should refer to individual solicitations for specific submission instructions.

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.)
