With PennBid's Two-Step Unsealing process, agencies can separate Technical and Pricing elements of the bid or RFP, allowing each to be opened and evaluated separately.

Bidders can upload one or more supporting documents with each bid submission. Within PennBid, these documents can easily be downloaded and printed.
