Q1: Where do I register?

At the Supplier and Contractor Portal

Q2: Am I required to register to do business with Dulles Transit Partners?

Yes.

Q3: After I register, will I receive a notice of offer to bid?

No. Registering does not guarantee an invitation to bid.

Q4: On the Experience Statement pages, is it mandatory to complete all columns and list all current and past customers? Due to some nondisclosure agreements between us and our customers we are contractually bound not to release all of that information.

It is not necessary to list all previous experience. What we are looking for is experience relevant to the particular type of commodities you may be interested in bidding on. If you can create such a list with all columns filled in and without violating any nondisclosure agreements, that would be the simplest solution. If not, the most critical information is the contact information so that previous contracts can be verified. Obviously, we would prefer as much information as possible but we do understand your situation.

Q5: On the Experience Statement pages, can we just list primary contracts? We would have several pages if we listed all in-house projects. Is DTP mainly concerned with our primary contracts?

Primary contracts are fine so long as they represent experience in the type(s) of commodities in which your company expresses interest.

Q6: Since we are a privately held company our Audited Financial Report or Annual Report are not available. It is our hope that our Dunn & Bradstreet number is sufficient for verification. What do suppliers in a similar situation as us typically provide?

Dun & Bradstreet numbers alone are not sufficient. What we normally do in such situations is request contact information for the person who could provide specific financial data on an as-needed basis. The specific data would depend on the circumstances.
