About this file

This document is a job aid that provides instructions for vendors on how to revise a quote in COMMBUYS, the Massachusetts statewide procurement platform, after a bid has closed. The job aid outlines the process for responding to a buyer's request to revise a quote for various reasons, such as providing clarification, submitting a best and final offer, or correcting an error in the original quote. The document walks through the specific steps vendors must take to access the Revision tab in COMMBUYS, select the quote number, confirm the revision, edit the quote as instructed, review the changes on the Summary tab, and finally submit the revised quote.

The related state and local contract opportunity is a solicitation issued by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) to procure diesel emission reduction technologies for publicly or privately owned on-road and non-road vehicles that have not been previously retrofitted. The contract will involve multiple qualified vendors capable of providing these services.
