Withdrawing a Response

If a response's due date has not yet passed, you can withdraw a response that has been submitted to the opportunity's issuing agency.

If a response's due date has already passed and you attempt to withdraw a response, a withdrawal request is sent to the issuing agency, who can then approve or deny your withdrawal request.

Tip	You can also submit a withdrawal request for an opportunity for which you or someone on your response team submitted a no-bid. If the opportunity's issuing agency approves your withdrawal request, you can then respond to the opportunity.

To withdraw a response:

From the Message Center, click the Opportunities tab. The Opportunities page displays.
Sort and/or search through the list of opportunities, if necessary, to find the opportunity you want to view.
Click the hyperlink in the Title column of the opportunity you want to view. The Opportunity: [Title] page displays.
Register to receive notifications about the opportunity, or join your vendor's response team for the opportunity, if you are not already part of the response team.
In the Responses section, click Withdraw in the row of the response you want to withdraw. The Response Withdrawal page displays.
On the Response Withdrawal page:

In the To field, the name of the agency that issued the opportunity displays.
In the Document field, the opportunity's document number displays.
In the Subject field, type the subject of your withdrawal request. ("Withdrawal of Response" displays by default, but you can edit this if you want.)

Note	This is a required field.

In the [Text] field, type an explanation for your withdrawal request. (The message, "[Vendor name] formally withdraws our response to Opportunity: [Opportunity Title]" displays by default, but you can edit this if you want.)
If you want to attach a file to your withdrawal request, click Attach File on the toolbar. (Otherwise, skip to step 6f.) The Attachment - Upload File page displays.

In the [File] field, type or select (using the Browse button) the path to the file that you want to attach.
Click Upload. The Opportunity Withdrawal page displays, and your file displays in the Attachments field. To open the attachment, click its hyperlink in the File Name column; to delete the attachment, click X in the [Delete] column.

If you want to print your withdrawal request, click Print on the toolbar. Otherwise, skip to step 6g.
Click Send. The Opportunity: [Title] page displays, and Withdrawal Requested displays in the response's Status column.

Important

The opportunity's issuing agency will either approve or deny your withdrawal request. If your withdrawal request is approved, Withdrawn displays in the response's Status column. If your withdrawal request is denied, Withdrawal Denied displays in the response's Status column.
