  • Scroll to the bottom and click 'BAFO.’
  • Select an offer due date for the BAFO.
  • Go to the offers tab.
  • Select the vendors you want to include in the BAFO.
  • If there are other changes needed to the solicitation, for example text changes or adding attachments, then you can make those changes now.
  • When ready, click 'Release.'
  • The vendors selected for the BAFO will receive a system generated email notifying them of the BAFO.
