How to Respond to a Solicitation on Vendor Self Service (VSS)- SERVICE.pdf

This document is a training guide for using the Vendor Self Service (VSS) system to respond to government solicitations. The document outlines a detailed 11-step process for submitting responses to solicitations through VSS, including selecting the solicitation, entering response details, attaching required files, providing comments/discounts, and submitting the final response. The guide appears to be from a state government system, as indicated by references to "State of Michigan RFQ" in the screenshots.

The guide provides specific technical instructions, including supported file types (.doc, .docx, .pdf, .xls, .xlsx, .zip, .jpg, .txt, .xps and .bmp) with a 6MB size limit per document. It details the five main steps of the response process: Respond to Lines, Criteria Response, Attach Your Files, Discounts/Comments, and Review/Submit. The system allows vendors to modify their responses any time before the solicitation closing date and time, with modifications covered in a separate Section 5 of the training materials.
