When setting up your profile you may find it helpful to add additional contacts to one primary profile and avoid multiple duplications of a firm which can occur when individuals set up separate profiles for the same company. Multiple entries for the same company may result in confusion with bid submission.

Please ensure that your information is accurate when setting up your profile and verify that your profile’s time zone is correct.
