About this file
This is a vendor notification document issued by the State of Delaware's Division of Facilities Management (DFM) regarding changes to the online bidding process for state solicitations. The notification announces that DFM has partnered with Bonfire Interactive to streamline bid submissions, joining other Delaware agencies including the Government Support Services (GSS), Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS), Department of Transportation (DelDOT), and Department of Technology and Information (DTI) in utilizing this platform. Vendors will continue to access DFM bid opportunities through the existing https://mmp.delaware.gov/Bids/ website, with solicitation documents visible on both GSS' MyMarketplace and the Bonfire Portal. When a solicitation requires Bonfire submission, vendors must register on the portal at http://DFM.bonfirehub.com to submit bids, and all submissions must meet specified due dates and times to be considered responsive. Public Works bid openings will remain conducted in person, while "in-person" bid submissions through other channels will no longer be accepted.
Registration and utilization of the Bonfire platform is provided at no cost to vendors, though enhanced registration options may be available for purchase at the vendor's discretion. The notification emphasizes that vendors registering with Bonfire will receive email notifications when solicitations become available. Vendors are directed to consult specific solicitation documents for submission requirements, as online bidding and associated paperwork submissions do not apply to all State of Delaware solicitations. Bonfire support resources are provided, including vendor registration assistance, password creation troubleshooting, submission guidance, and instructional videos to facilitate the transition to the new bidding platform.

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.)
