The General Services Administration has added a new feature to the acquisition tool, eBuy, that allows contractors to inform agency customers they are interested in a request for quote or request for information.
The “interested” feature will reportedly enable eBuy vendors to identify and filter quotes they have not submitted and potentially help government buyers to get an idea of the number of quotes they expect on an RFI or RFQ and determine whether to extend the closing date of their requests, GSA said Tuesday.
The new feature could also allow government buyers to view the quote status of “Interested” on the details page of RFQ in the acquisition platform.
GSA also outlined the steps for vendors on how to use the “Interested” function on eBuy.
