Step two: Request to bid with an agency
Once you have an approved Infotech Digital ID but before you can start bidding, you have to submit a request to bid for any agency you want to bid with. This request connects your Digital ID to an existing vendor record maintained by the agency. This is not a request to do business with an agency.
- Go to your Settings page and click on the Online Bidding tab.
- Click Request to Bid.
- Select your Digital ID and the Agency you wish to bid with from the dropdown menus.
- Click the Company field to search for your company by name or by bidder ID/vendor ID number. Select the company.
- Click Next.
- Review your request. If applicable, select the check box to authorize the monthly Internet bidding fee, then click Next.
- You'll see a screen that confirms Your request has been submitted. Click Finish.
- You'll receive an email once your request has been approved. You can also see the status from your Settings page > Online Bidding tab.
