Reopening Vendor-Specific Bids
Bid users can now resend bids to vendors, even when the bid is in the "Pending Award" state. This feature helps bid users and vendors alike in cases where the vendor has already finalized the bid, but a mistake needs correction or additional information is required by the bid user.
