NOTICE TO VENDORS

Effective Wednesday, April 16, 2008

FedBizOpps.Gov replaces FedTeDS.Gov

Vendors interested in bidding opportunities listed on the Construction and Architectural/Engineering Opportunities page must adhere to the following requirements:

Central Contractor Registration (CCR)

Vendors must register with Central Contractor Registration (CCR), a federal vendor database used to validate vendor information, before obtaining MTACC construction and architectural/engineering bid documents. The registration process requires a DUNS number and can be done online at www.ccr.gov. It takes approximately ten minutes to register and you should receive a response within 48 hours. This process is free of charge.

DUNS and EIN

Vendors must provide their Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and company Employer Identification Number (EIN) when ordering TBTA bid documents. The DUNS number is a unique nine-character identification number provided by the commercial company Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). Vendors who do not have a DUNS number may call D&B at (866) 705-5711 or (610) 882-7000, or visit D&B’s website at www.dnb.com/us/ to obtain one. The website process to request a DUNS number takes about 10 minutes and is free of charge if you state you require the DUNS number for registration in the Central Contractor Registration website.

FedBizOpps Website
Vendors must request bid and request for proposal documents for these projects on our bid document order form. Although the order form will reside on the FedBizOpps website, you can link to FedBizOpps from the “order now” link on the Active Construction and Architectural/Engineering Contract Solicitation Page.

Vendor must download addenda documents from FedBizOpps at www.fedbizopps.gov. Vendors who have purchased bid documents will no longer receive addenda documents by mail from MTACC. Instead, those vendors will be notified by email instructing to download it from FedBizOpps.

FedBizOpps, a federal website used to distribute and disseminate sensitive but unclassified procurement related materials, only accepts CCR registered vendors.

If you have any questions regarding these requirements please contact us for clarification.
