Questions for the bid manager may come up during the bid process . Using the Q&A Board tab, you can submit questions, receive responses, view questions submitted by other bidders, and view the responses to those questions.
Bidder names are kept confidential. Viewers are only able to see the questions that have been submitted by another bidder, but their names remain anonymous.

Depending on the content of the question, the bid manager may provide the answer to just you or may share with all bidders. Other bidders will see “Another bidder” in the Questionee column, and not your name.
