Vendor Procurement Feedback

We are requesting feedback from vendors interested in participating in the procurement process for SPS projects. This form does not replace the Q&A requirements outlined in active procurements where vendor questions are addressed via addenda. Feedback provided will only be used to help refine our processes and requirements on future procurements.
