To ensure the reverse auction bid process remains fair, any direct contact with the Buying Organization regarding this opportunity, during or after this bid process, except where permitted, will cause you to be in violation of the bid process (see AISD Policy & Instructions guidelines under Required Forms) and be eligible for penalties (See the Sorcity Member Agreement).

 

Please perform honorably and follow the instructions in the Bid Notice email you were sent and any reminders and updates provided.

 

Bids will only be accepted through this reverse auction. Bidding in any other manner, or attempting to sell directly to one of the Buyer's locations will put you in violation and will remove you from good standing with Sorcity for future business. We look forward to your participation and help in maintaining the integrity of this fair and objective bid process.
