About this file
This document is a job aid for vendors on how to revise a quote in COMMBUYS, the Massachusetts state procurement portal, after a bid has closed. The job aid outlines the process for vendors to respond to a buyer's request to revise a quote, which may be due to the need for clarification, a request for a Best and Final Offer, or to correct an error in the original quote. The process includes navigating to the Revision sub-tab, selecting the relevant quote, confirming the revision, making the required changes, reviewing the summary, and submitting the revised quote.
The related state and local contract opportunity is for the Emergency Response/Immediate Response Action Support Services Contract (Agency Document No. BWSC-ERIRA-2017-01) for the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP). This contract is for professional environmental services in support of Emergency Response and Immediate Response Actions associated with M.G.L.
