About this file
This is a vendor notification issued by the State of Maine Department of Administrative & Financial Services, Division of Purchases, dated September 4, 2014. The document informs vendors registered in the State of Maine's Vendor Self Service (VSS) system of a scheduled system upgrade occurring from Friday, October 3rd through Monday, October 6th, 2014. During this period, the VSS site will be unavailable to vendors submitting competitive bids. To minimize disruption to the bidding process, the State has committed to avoiding the posting or closing of Requests for Quotations (RFQs) during the upgrade window unless urgent circumstances require otherwise.
Following the completion of the upgrade on October 6th, vendors will be automatically redirected to a new web address for accessing RFQs and submitting bids. While the system's appearance will change, its core functionality will remain largely unchanged. Vendors experiencing any difficulties accessing the upgraded VSS system or searching for bid opportunities are directed to contact the State of Maine Division of Purchases at 207-624-7340 for technical assistance.

UPGRADE TO THE STATE OF MAINE’S
VENDOR SELF SERVICE SYSTEM
Dear Vendor Community:
If you are receiving this message, then you are someone who may be interested in doing business with the State of Maine. Thank you for that interest.
This notice is to inform you about a future upgrade to the State of Maine’s Vendor Self Service (VSS) system – the system you use to submit competitive bids for State purchases. This upgrade will take place from Friday, October 3rd through Monday, October 6th, 2014, and the VSS site will be unavailable during that time.
Unless an urgent situation requires otherwise, we have no intention of posting or closing any competitive Requests for Quotations (RFQs) during that time period, so you will not be missing out on any bid opportunities while the system is unavailable.
After October 6th, when you access the VSS system, you will be automatically re-directed to a new web address, and that new address is where you will access the State’s RFQs, and submit bids. You will notice that the VSS system will have a new “look” after October 6th, but its functionality will largely remain the same.
If you run into any problems accessing the VSS system or searching for bids, please contact the State of Maine Division of Purchases’ main phone number at 207-624-7340. You will be redirected to someone that can assist you from there.
Again, thank you for your interest in doing business with the State of Maine.
Sincerely, Mark Lutte
Director, State of Maine Division of Purchases
