Delete a quote
Hello everyone, I recently submitted a quote on DIBBS and realized I need to make some changes. Does anyone know if it’s possible to delete a quote once it’s been submitted? If so, could you guide me through the process? Thanks for your help!

Cut out of the deal
This vendor is really trying to cut me out. I provided traceability to the CO then the CO reached out to the vendor to confirm that they provided me with the quote. The vendor said, "The attachment is a customer's cart email from our website but we can supply the product directly to you at this price and have it shipped out tomorrow." This email was CCed to me by the Vendor.

GREAT NEWS!!
I received a email directed to my company to send in my quote on a solicitation. Same product that I just won my 2nd contract on. 🤗

Your killing it , awesome !
Traceability
I swear, some of these suppliers are tough to get through. A CO requested traceability for 3 of my bids (they are all for the same part) and I have everything except the distributor's authorization letter. I asked the distributor if they could provide me with such letter and their first response was "We can provide it for the item that we quoted you on." I told them "Yes that's what we needed". Hours later, I decided to follow up and now they're saying "After you place the order, then we will send a request up for the certs." I then told them that "I cannot place an order yet because my federal client wants to verify the authorization letter before we proceed." Looks like I'll just move on from these 3 bids. 🙄

In the commercial industry for my sector . Trace and certs are sent before the PO . I believe that is very strange from your vendors
Inspection
When dealing with inspection at origin , is it the origin or the manufactured/vendor, or is the point of origin my company. (If supplier sends the content and the origin is me and inspection fails wouldn’t that be a huge mess up)?

@Rudy Cadena thanks mate. Yeah I found that out. I am going to stay away from those origin solicitations until I scale up. I have good experience in the aviation industry so once I scale getting certificates and stuff should be a breeze. Appreciate the advice and heads up.
