Free Form Vendor

The Free Form Vendor tab of the Solicitation transaction allows a buyer to specify vendors that they want to receive notice of the solicitation.  Buyers can designate the final vendor list as restricted, limiting responses to selected vendors only, by selecting the Vendor List Restricted Responses check box on the Header. 

A vendor is added to this tab by free form. A vendor can also be added to the RFP from a Vendor List Template on the Header, individually selected on the Vendor List topic or added by vendor rotation.
