Electronic Response Requirement.pdf

This is an Electronic Response Requirement document for a Pennsylvania state procurement managed through the Department of General Services (DGS). The document establishes that all bid submissions must be submitted electronically through the PA Supplier Portal at https://pasupplierportal.state.pa.us/irj/portal/anonymous. Vendors interested in submitting bids must first register on the portal to obtain a vendor number and gain access to submit online responses. Prospective bidders are required to monitor the DGS eMarketplace website regularly to remain informed of any change notices or addenda issued to the Invitation for Bid (IFB), as these notices become incorporated into the solicitation terms.

Vendors requiring assistance with the registration process, obtaining a vendor number, or understanding bidding procedures should consult the SRM Bidding Reference Guide available on the Supplier Service Center or contact the DGS helpdesk at (877) 435-7363, selecting option 2 for support. The Commonwealth will not accept any bid responses submitted through means other than the electronic portal, making registration and familiarity with the online bidding system mandatory for participation.
