Finding Open and Rolling Enrollment Bids While Logged Into COMMBUYS

JA_Vendors_Find-Open-Rolling-Enrollment-Bids-Logged-In-COMMBUYS_2016-10-03 1

This Job Aid shows how to:

Browse for Open Enrollment and Rolling Enrollment Bids using the Documents Navigation menu

Of Special Note:

Although vendors usually search for bids using Advanced Search functionality when logged in COMMBUYS, there is a different process to find Open and Rolling Enrollment Bids. Rolling Enrollment Bids allow buyers to accept quotes and review them as they are submitted. Open Enrollment Bids allow buyers re-open a contract at any time (or at set intervals) to add new vendors.

Searching functionality is not included in the Seller Administrator role. Only users with Seller privileges can conduct searches in COMMBUYS. These instructions assume the logged in user has Seller credentials.
