- You must submit your bid in DBidS using the user ID you received during registration. If you have not already logged into DBidS, we strongly recommend that you do so before December 7, 2009, in order for you to have plenty of time to complete your bid. Please note that you must answer at least two (2) and up to ten (10) authentication questions the first time you log in.
- The Covered Document Review Date (CDRD) for the Round 1 Rebid was November 21, 2009. If you submitted financial documents by the CDRD, we will notify you of any missing financial documents by January 5, 2010, and you will have 10 business days to submit the missing financial documents. Bidders that did not submit any hardcopy financial documents by the CDRD will not be notified of any missing documents. If you did not submit any hardcopy financial documents by the CDRD, you are still required to submit all required hardcopy documents specified in the Request for Bids (RFB) instructions by 11:59 p.m. on December 21, 2009.
