How will I know if I should use the Formatta forms or the new pilot vendor application?
The pilot is only available for vendors responding to 2011 solicitations for Communications Trailer, Fuel Tenders, Helicopter Operations Support, Mechanics with Service Truck, or Vehicle with Driver. If you are a vendor who is responding to a 2011 solicitation for Communications Trailer, Fuel Tenders, Helicopter Operations Support, Mechanics with Service Truck, or Vehicle with Driver, then you must use the pilot vendor application. You will need to log into the pilot application using your eAuthentication username and password and then use the wizards in the application to register in the pilot application and set up your company information and resources in the pilot application. For more information, go to http://www.fs.fed.us/business/incident/pilotvendorapp.php. If you are responding to any other 2011 solicitations, you will continue to use the Formatta Forms for those other solicitations.
