What is the difference between a DOT digital ID and a local agency digital ID?
A Department of Transportation assigns its contractors with vendor numbers which are used to track the contractors bidding history with the agency. Local agencies do not typically assign vendor numbers to its contractors for bidding. Therefore, a digital ID for a DOT agency will use the vendor number assigned by that agency and the digital ID for a local agency will use the Bid Express service account number as the vendor number to allow the contractor to submit its bid.
