Section Reference Question (Bolded) and Answer

It is recommended that users utilize Internet Explorer to view PDFs. Certain PDF forms cannot be opened in the Chrome or Firefox built in PDF views that are enabled by default. If using Chrome or Firefox it is recommended that the file is downloaded instead by clicking the download button in the upper right-hand corner of the browser after an error message is received. An alternative option is to disable the built in PDF viewers in Chrome or Firefox.

Yes. Prior to the Quote Opening Deadline, a Vendor {Bidder} should review the documents comprising the submitted Quote to ensure that all of the required documents have been completed and attached. Oftentimes a Quote is deemed non-responsive because a Vendor {Bidder} fails to attach a required form or attaches a blank form. To review a submitted Quote, a Vendor {Bidder} should log into NJSTART and review each document attached to the Quote submission. Instructions on how to review a submitted Quote can be found in the Quick Reference Guide entitled ‘How to Review a Submitted Quote’ which is available on the NJSTART Vendor Support Page under Vendor References Guides.
