PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is an absolute requirement. Late bids, regardless of cause, will not be opened or considered,

and will be automatically disqualified from further consideration. Vendor shall bear the sole risk of late submission due to

unintended or unanticipated delay. It is the Vendor’s sole responsibility to ensure its bid has been received as described in

this IFB by the specified time and date of opening. Failure to submit a bid in strict accordance with instructions provided

shall constitute sufficient cause to reject a Vendor’s bids(s). Solicitation responses are subject to Sealed Bidding

requirements

Vendor’s bids for this procurement must be submitted through the Sourcing Tool. For training on how to use the Sourcing

Tool to view solicitations, submit questions, develop responses, upload documents, and submit offers to the State,

Vendors should go to the following site: https://eprocurement.nc.gov/training/vendor-training Questions or issues related

to using the Sourcing Tool itself can be directed to the North Carolina eProcurement Help Desk at 888- 211-7440, Option

2. Help Desk representatives are available Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM EST to 5:00 PM EST.

Tips for Using the Sourcing Tool

1. Vendors should review available training and confirm that they are able to access the Sourcing Event, enter

responses, and upload files well in advance of the date and time response are due to allow sufficient time to seek

assistance from the North Carolina eProcurement Help Desk.

2. Vendors may submit their responses early to make sure there are no issues and then submit a revised response

any time prior to the response due date and time. The district will only review the most recent response.

3. Vendors should respond to all relevant sections of the Sourcing Event. Certain questions or items are required in

order to submit a response and are denoted with an asterisk. The Sourcing Tool will not allow a response to be

submitted unless all required items are completed. The Sourcing Tool will provide error messages to help identify

any required information that is missing when response is submitted.

4. Simply saving your response in the Sourcing Tool is not the same as submitting your response to the district.

Vendors should make sure they complete the submission process and receive a message that their response was

successfully submitted.

5. Only Bids submitted through the Content Section of the Ariba Sourcing Event will be considered. Bids submitted

through the Message Board will not be accepted or considered for award.
