About this file
This is a system upgrade notice issued by the State of Maine Department of Administrative & Financial Services, Division of Purchases. The notice informs the vendor community of a scheduled upgrade to the State of Maine's Vendor Self Service (VSS) system, which is the platform used to submit competitive bids for state purchases. The VSS system will be unavailable from Friday, October 3rd through Monday, October 6th, 2014. To minimize disruption to the bidding process, the State has committed to avoiding posting or closing any competitive Requests for Quotations (RFQs) during the upgrade window, ensuring vendors will not miss bid opportunities during this period.
Following the October 6th completion date, vendors will be automatically redirected to a new web address to access RFQs and submit bids. While the upgraded VSS system will feature a new visual interface, its core functionality will remain largely unchanged. Vendors experiencing technical difficulties accessing the system or locating bid opportunities should contact the State of Maine Division of Purchases at 207-624-7340 for assistance. The notice was issued by Mark W. Lutte, Director of the Division of Purchases, on September 4, 2014.

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
