Procurement Disparity Study

Fairfax County is requesting proposals for a Procurement Disparity Study (RFP2000004217), with proposals due July 24, 2026. All submissions must be made exclusively through the Bonfire Interactive portal at https://fairfaxcounty.bonfirehub.com; paper, email, facsimile, and telephone submissions will not be accepted.

Registration in the Bonfire system is mandatory to access solicitation documents and submit responses. Fairfax County encourages offerors to submit proposals well in advance of the deadline, as submission is not considered successful until all necessary files are uploaded and the "Submit & Finalize" step is completed. The official receipt timestamp is determined by the Bonfire portal; no other timepiece or calendar is recognized. Offerors should allow adequate time for document uploads, as processing depends on file size and internet connection speed.

Upon finalization, offerors receive an email confirmation receipt with a unique confirmation number. The portal is compatible with Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, with JavaScript and browser cookies enabled. If Fairfax County Government is closed due to inclement weather or unforeseeable event at the scheduled closing time, the electronic submission process will continue through Bonfire. Registration and proposal submission are free of charge. Documents may be uploaded at any time during the open submission period.

Offerors must clearly identify and describe services offered and present responses in an organized, comprehensive, and easy-to-follow manner. For technical questions related to submissions, contact Bonfire support, which has an average response time of 16 minutes to one hour.
