About this file
This document provides vendor instructions for the "Export/Upload Items" feature in the BidBuy system for a state and local government contract opportunity in Illinois. The feature allows vendors to export line items to an Excel spreadsheet, enter pricing, and then upload the updated pricing information back into their quote in the BidBuy system. This streamlines the process when there are a large number of line items. The instructions cover the steps for exporting, entering pricing, and successfully uploading the file. Vendors are advised that any edits to descriptions, quantities, or units of measure will not be uploaded, and that the "No Bid" column must be updated from "Y" to "N" for any line items where pricing was entered.
The state and local government contract opportunity is for "JPMC Heavy Duty Equipment" in the state of Illinois. The instructions do not provide additional details about the scope of work, quantities, response dates, or contract term for this specific opportunity.

Vendor Instructions: Export/Upload Items Feature Optional use: this feature allows you to export the line items to a separate Excel document, enter pricing, and upload back into your quote in BidBuy. This feature streamlines the process for entering pricing when there are a large number of line items. Please note: Export/Upload Item process is completely optional and you are always able to manually enter or edit pricing for each line item in BidBuy.
1. Items Tab in BidBuy– select “Export Items” at the bottom.
2. Open the downloaded document in Excel. (Mac users: right-click in Downloads and “open with>Excel.” Do not open in Numbers and export to Excel.)
IMPORTANT: the file type is saved in .csv and must remain in this format for a successful upload. If you save it in another format, you will receive an error when attempting to upload.
3. Enter pricing for each line item in the “Unit Cost” column (Column H).
Please note: any edits you may make to Description (column E), Quantity (column F), or Unit of Measure (column G) will not upload to your quote. If applicable, information added in Alternate Description (column O) will upload to your quote.
4. For any item where pricing was entered, update No Bid (column L) from “Y” to “N.” Each line item defaults to “Y” when initially exported and needs to be updated for a successful upload. Here is an example of the error you will see if you do not update column L but entered a price for that line item:
5. Save. Do NOT change the file format. As instructed above, it should stay in .csv file format.
6. Items Tab in BidBuy – select “Upload Items” at the bottom.
7. Select “Choose File” and choose your document.
The document name includes your quote number. For example: “Q00020635_Q_ItemExport.csv”
8. Select “Save & Exit.” A dialog box will appear. Select “OK.”
9. Your updated items (including price) will appear. You may manually edit any line item within the Items Tab if you choose. Complete the quote and submit on the Summary Tab.
