Person Preparing Bid: Comment by Cheng, Paul (ADM): I don’t think we need these two fields. Do you feel strongly, one way or the other? Comment by Jew, Jonathan (ADM): I have occasionally found “Person Preparing Bid” to be helpful, since this is oftentimes the only please where I can find a named individual from the firm in case of needing to address someone for clarifications, non-responsive, etc.

the Local Rep name and number I would be good with removing, since technically there is no requirement for someone to be local; we just need a sales point of contact
