About this file

This document is a job aid for vendors on how to revise a quote in COMMBUYS, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' procurement portal, after the bid has closed. The job aid outlines the steps vendors must take to revise a quote at the request of the buyer, which may be for reasons such as clarification, a Best and Final Offer (BAFO), or to correct an error. The job aid provides detailed screenshots and instructions on accessing the Revision tab, making edits to the quote, and submitting the revised quote.

The related state and local contract opportunity is for PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) analytical laboratory services, sought by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) to assist in determining the extent of PFAS contamination entering public and private water supplies in the Commonwealth. MassDEP intends to solicit bids from qualified analytical laboratories to perform the required PFAS testing.
